Orthogonal

Connect your agent to a catalog of paid tools and APIs.

Orthogonal connects your agent to a catalog of paid tools. Search for a tool, run it, and pay per request. No per-provider accounts to manage.

How it works

  1. 1

    Search

    Describe what you need, or browse the catalog. Search returns matching tools with their price.

  2. 2

    Run

    Run the tool. Orthogonal connects to the provider for you and returns the result.
  3. 3

    Pay per request

    Every response includes the price. You pay only for the calls you make.

Connect

Three ways to connect. All reach the same catalog. See the Quickstart for the two-minute version.

Add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http orthogonal https://www.orthogonal.com/mcp

Sign in to see who pays: your account or your organization.

Run it in a terminal, then run /mcp in Claude Code and sign in in your browser.

Or add it to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client:

{
"mcpServers": {
"orthogonal": {
"url": "https://www.orthogonal.com/mcp"
}
}
}

For API providers

List your own API on Orthogonal and get paid for the calls buyers make. Create a seller organization and request your listing. Once Orthogonal approves it, Orth, Orthogonal’s onboarding agent, drafts the setup from your docs; you set the prices, add your API key, run the checks and submit it. Do it in the dashboard, or with your own AI agent over MCP.
