## Connect via MCP

invok.it provides a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.
Add this to your Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client:

  {"mcpServers": {"invokit": {"url": "https://api.invok.it/mcp/",
    "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer ik-YOUR-API-KEY"}}}}

The MCP server provides 17 tools:
- search_tools: search the marketplace by natural language
- get_tool: get full details for a tool by slug
- list_categories: list all tool categories
- search_skills / get_skill: find and inspect skills
- search_apps / get_app: find and inspect apps
- invoke_tool: call a tool via the transparent proxy (requires API key)
- get_tool_quality / get_tool_metrics / get_tool_alternatives: evaluate tools
- check_usage: check your API quota and remaining calls
- submit_outcome: report quality feedback after invoking a tool
- get_manifest: get platform capabilities and rate limits

## Publish your own tools

You can publish tools in two ways:
1. HTTP Proxy: point to your existing API endpoint
2. Hosted Function: upload Python or Node.js code — we deploy and host it for you

Hosted functions run in isolated containers with network restrictions.
Documentation: https://invok.it/docs/guides/hosted-functions

## Cost

Searching and browsing: free, no authentication needed.
Invoking tools programmatically: requires an API key (ik- prefix), pay-per-use.
Free tier: 1,000 calls/month. Pro: 100,000 calls/month ($29/mo).
