What your AI app gets
Tools it can call while it answers you
Your AI app decides when it needs one, calls Automatio, and works the result into its answer.
Web search
Ranked results with titles, links and snippets, so the model can choose what to read next. 1 credit a search.
Read any page
A page's main content as clean text, ready to quote and summarize. 1 credit a page.
Screenshots
Viewport or full page, desktop or mobile, dark mode, with elements hidden on request. 2 credits a shot.
Crypto prices and markets
Prices, market caps, volume and 24-hour change, or a ranked market list. 3 to 5 credits a call.
More tools with an API key
Connect with an Automatio API key instead of signing in and the app can also use Reddit, YouTube, X, idealista, Apify actors and image tools.
A limit you choose
Signing in asks for a daily credit limit. The app sees only the tools you allowed, never your chats, files or keys.
Getting started

The other way round
Other MCP servers inside Automatio
Automatio is an MCP client too. Bring any remote MCP server into your Automatio chats.
Add any remote server
Paste its address under Integrations, MCP, with no sign-in, an API key or OAuth, and choose which of its tools Automatio may use.
Let the agent find one
Ask for a capability and the agent can search the public MCP registry and suggest a server. Connecting it stays your call.
Use it beyond chat
Turn on Allow outside chat and the server's tools are available to your own scripts and apps on Automatio as well.
Straight answers
What it does and doesn't do
It does
- Charge each call to your Automatio credits and report the cost in the response.
- Stop at the daily limit you chose, until midnight UTC.
- Give a sign-in connection five tools: search, page reading, screenshots and two crypto tools.
- End a connection at once when you revoke it under Integrations, API keys.
It doesn't
- Drive a browser, send email or run the full Automatio agent.
- Show your Automatio chats, files or saved keys to the app.
- Change a sign-in connection's tools later. For more tools, connect with an API key.
- Appear in Claude's or ChatGPT's directory yet. You add it as a custom connector.
Questions
What is an MCP server?
The Model Context Protocol is the standard way AI apps plug in outside tools. Automatio runs an MCP server, so an app like Claude or Cursor can call Automatio's web search, page reader and screenshot tools while it answers you.
Which apps can use it?
Any app that can add a remote MCP server over HTTP. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and Perplexity all can. The setup guides above have the steps for each.
Should I sign in or use an API key?
Signing in is the simplest, works in every app including ChatGPT, and gives the five core tools. An Automatio API key sent as a header gives the larger set, with Reddit, YouTube, X, idealista, Apify and image tools. ChatGPT accepts sign-in only.
What does it cost?
Each call uses Automatio credits: 1 for a search or a page read, 2 for a screenshot, 3 to 5 for the crypto tools. Connecting and listing the tools is free, and every response says what the call cost.
Can the app see my Automatio account?
No. It can call the tools you allowed and nothing else. It never sees your chats, files or saved keys.
How do I disconnect?
Revoke the connection under Integrations, API keys, where it shows as the app's name with (OAuth), or remove the server in the app. Revoking ends its access at once.
Is Automatio in Claude's or ChatGPT's directory?
Not yet. Add it as a custom connector with the server address, as the guides show.
