Monid

What is Monid?

Monid is a tool router that lets AI agents find and run paid APIs on demand. Instead of signing up with dozens of providers, your agent connects once and draws from a single balance. It covers more than 1,700 tools from 55 providers, including Apollo, Ahrefs, Exa, Firecrawl, ElevenLabs, and scrapers for major social platforms.

Top Features:

• Discovery: agents rank matching tools by fit and price at runtime.
• One balance: every tool call draws from one prepaid account without any subscriptions.
• Connections: plug in through an agent skill, remote MCP server, or CLI.

Use Cases:

• Prospecting: let agents pull contact and company data from Apollo quickly.
• SEO: fetch Ahrefs data during an agent run without a separate plan.
• Monitoring: scrape posts from Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube for analysis.

Who Can Use Monid?

• Developers: give custom agents broad tool access without juggling API keys.
• Growth teams: run prospecting and research agents that pay only per use.
• Providers: list an API in the open registry so agents find it.

Pricing

• Free credit ($1): new accounts start with one dollar to test tools.
• Per call (from $0.0013): a flat fee per execution, debited from one balance.
• Per result (varies): a small fee per returned item, sometimes plus a base fee.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• No subscriptions: costs stay variable since you only pay for actual calls.
• Wide catalog: search, scraping, media, voice, and people data in one place.
• Open source: registry code is public on GitHub and accepts new tools.

Cons:

• Developer focus: setup assumes an agent that already supports skills or MCP.
• Variable spend: busy agents can drain the balance fast without limits.
• Dependencies: uptime relies on the underlying providers, not the router itself.
