Apollo Intelligence MCP Server 🏛️

40 tools for AI agents: intelligence feeds, economic data, DeFi, real-time search, crypto, OSINT, weather, ML/NLP, proxy infrastructure — all via x402 micropayments.

Give your AI agent access to curated market intelligence, web scraping through 190+ country residential proxies, real-time X/Twitter search, crypto prices, GitHub trending data, and more.

🚀 Zero-config: just install and go. The server auto-provisions a free API key with $0.10 balance on first run — no signup, no wallet, no configuration needed.

🆓 Free trial: 5 requests/day per IP on top of your auto-provisioned balance.

🔑 Bring your own key: Set APOLLO_API_KEY env var to use a specific key (overrides auto-provisioning).

💎 x402 (crypto): Pay per request with USDC on Base — fully automatic via x402 protocol.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apollo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@apollo_ai/mcp-proxy"]
    }
  }
}

That's it! The server auto-provisions a free API key on first run. To use your own key instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apollo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@apollo_ai/mcp-proxy"],
      "env": {
        "APOLLO_API_KEY": "ak_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf / Any MCP Client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apollo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@apollo_ai/mcp-proxy"]
    }
  }
}

Note: No env vars needed. The server auto-provisions a free API key ($0.10 balance) on first run and caches it in ~/.apollo-mcp/key.json. Set APOLLO_API_KEY env var to override.

To use a specific key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apollo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@apollo_ai/mcp-proxy"],
      "env": {
        "APOLLO_API_KEY": "ak_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tip: Without APOLLO_API_KEY, the server auto-provisions a free key on first run. You also get 5 free requests/day per IP on top of the provisioned balance.

How Payment Works

All paid tools use the x402 protocol — an open standard for machine-to-machine micropayments.

1. Your agent makes a request

2. Server returns 402 Payment Required with payment details

3. Agent's wallet sends USDC on Base to complete the payment

4. Server delivers the response

No API keys. No subscriptions. No accounts. Just a USDC wallet on Base mainnet.

Payment wallet: 0xf59621FC406D266e18f314Ae18eF0a33b8401004

📖 — Step-by-step instructions for Python, TypeScript, Go, and MCP. Make your first paid request in under 5 minutes.

Note: x402 payment handling depends on your MCP client. Clients like x402scan Composer handle payments automatically. For Claude Desktop, you'll need an x402-compatible wallet integration.

Environment Variables

Data Freshness

All intelligence feeds are pre-computed by Apollo's multi-agent system and refreshed every 2-6 hours:

• Scrape daemon runs autonomously — DDG, HN, Reddit, GitHub via residential proxies

• NLP pipeline — keyword expansion, pain point clustering, opportunity scoring

• Zero LLM cost per request — all data pre-computed from real sources

• X/Twitter search — real-time via Grok (not cached)
