What is AgentKey, and how does it work?

AgentKey is a data-access layer for AI agents from Chainbase Labs. One account and one subscription connect an agent, over a single MCP connection, to live data sources for web search, page reading, social platforms, on-chain and crypto data and e-commerce. The vendor lists 1800+ live data sources and 24+ supported agents. It installs with one command and works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes and others. Usage is measured in credits; paid subscribers can add extra credits, and a free plan needs no card. Plans are named Lite, Pro and Max, with monthly or annual billing in USD.
