Scribase Toolgate

One API key for every AI tool

One API key that reaches a catalog of AI tools: web search, email checks, company and knowledge lookups and your own Scribase project. Each call shows its price before it runs and is billed only if it succeeds. For teams building AI agents and apps who do not want to sign up for, wire and bill a dozen tool APIs one by one.

Priced before it runs

Every tool lists its price in the catalog. The call is quoted first, then held, then charged only if it succeeds. A failed call costs nothing.

One key, scoped to your org

Sign up once and get an org, a project and a key in the same response. The key only sees and spends its own org. No approval step.

Spend caps checked first

Monthly, daily, per-key and per-tool limits are checked before the call goes out, so a runaway agent stops at the cap, not at the invoice.

HTTP, MCP or CLI

Call tools over plain HTTP, through the MCP endpoint from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, or from the terminal with the sy command.

Free tools from the start

18 of 27 tools are free (Wikipedia, arXiv, SEC filings, domain and package registries, geocoding, web search). They work the moment you have a key.

Bring your own keys

Store a provider credential once; Toolgate injects it server-side and adds no markup. Your agent never sees the secret.

Two calls

Sign up and call a tool

The signup returns an org, a project and a key in one response. The key works on all 18 free tools right away; paid tools answer with a top-up link until the project has a balance.

Questions

Before you get a key

Do I need a Scribase project to use Toolgate?

No. Toolgate works on its own: sign up at toolgate.scribase.com and call tools with the key you get back. If you do have a Scribase project, the scribase.* tools let an agent query it and create branches with your own credential.

What does it cost?

There is no subscription. Free and public tools cost $0. Paid tools list a per-call price in the catalog and are charged only when the call succeeds. The live prices are at https://toolgate.scribase.com/pricing.

Is this the same thing as Railyard?

Toolgate was built inside Railyard, the shared backend behind Scribase. It is now a Scribase product with its own home at toolgate.scribase.com; the code stays open source in the same repository.
