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. SetAPOLLO_API_KEYenv 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.

All paid tools use the x402 protocol — an open standard for machine-to-machine micropayments.
Your agent makes a request
Server returns
402 Payment Requiredwith payment detailsAgent's wallet sends USDC on Base to complete the payment
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.
