Installation

No installation required! You can run this tool directly with npx:

npx apinow-fun-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEY

Usage

npx apinow-fun-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEY [options]

Options

• -k, --apiKey <key>: Your APINow.fun API key (required)
• -u, --url <url>: MCP server URL (default: "https://apinow.fun/api/mcp")
• -p, --proxy <url>: Use a proxy server URL instead of direct connection
• -s, --sse: Use Server-Sent Events (SSE) for streaming responses
• -d, --debug: Enable debug mode
• -t, --test <tool>: Test a specific tool with sample parameters
• -P, --params <json>: JSON string of parameters for tool testing
• -h, --help: Display help information
• -V, --version: Display version number

Using with a Proxy

If you're running this tool in an environment that can't directly connect to APINow.fun, you can use a proxy server:

npx apinow-fun-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEY --proxy http://your-proxy-server.com/api/mcp

This is particularly useful for:

• Environments with network restrictions
• Using a custom MCP server implementation
• Connecting through a Next.js API route

Using Server-Sent Events (SSE)

For streaming responses and real-time updates, you can use the SSE option:

npx apinow-fun-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEY --sse

This is particularly useful when:

• Working with long-running API calls
• Needing real-time progress updates
• Using a server that supports SSE (like the Next.js API route)

Example: Using with a Next.js API Route with SSE

If you have a Next.js application with an MCP proxy API route that supports SSE:

npx apinow-fun-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEY --proxy http://localhost:3000/api/mcp/sse --sse

Using with Claude

When configuring Claude to use APINow.fun, you can specify this tool as the MCP server:

npx apinow-fun-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEY

Claude will then be able to use all the tools provided by APINow.fun.

Available Tools

APINow.fun provides a variety of API tools, including:

• apinow_search: Search for APIs
• apinow_list_categories: List API categories
• apinow_get_schema: Get API schema
• apinow_call: Call an API
• apinow_estimate_cost: Estimate API call cost
• apinow_get_usage: Get API usage statistics
• apinow_get_balance: Get account balance
• apinow_set_limits: Set usage limits
• apinow_get_transaction_history: Get transaction history

Testing Tools

You can test a specific tool with the --test option:

npx apinow-fun-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEY --test apinow_list_categories

To provide parameters:

npx apinow-fun-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEY --test apinow_search --params '{"query":"weather"}'

Usage with Cursor

When using with Cursor, you should add the --json flag to ensure proper compatibility:

npx apinow-fun-mcp --apiKey YOUR_API_KEY --json

This will output all messages in JSON format, which is required for Cursor to properly parse the responses.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

• Enable debug mode with --debug to see detailed logs
• Check that your API key is valid
• Ensure you have internet access to reach APINow.fun
• If using a proxy, verify that the proxy URL is correct and accessible
• If using SSE, make sure the server supports Server-Sent Events
