AgentPatch: The MCP Marketplace for AI Agents

AI agents are only as useful as the tools they can access. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardized how agents connect to external tools, but the ecosystem is still fragmented. Finding reliable MCP servers, managing multiple connections, and dealing with separate API keys for each one — that’s the current state. An MCP marketplace solves this.

Why This Matters

Right now, adding tools to your AI agent means finding individual MCP servers on GitHub, evaluating whether they’re maintained, setting up each one separately, and managing multiple API keys and configurations. Some servers need Docker. Some need specific runtimes. Some break after a month because the maintainer moved on.

An MCP marketplace centralizes this. Instead of hunting for servers and managing infrastructure, you browse a catalog, pick the tools you need, and connect once. The marketplace handles hosting, reliability, and billing. Your agent gets access to everything through a single endpoint.

How AgentPatch Works

AgentPatch is a hosted MCP marketplace. You get one API key and one connection URL. When your agent connects, it discovers all available tools automatically. No additional setup per tool — if a new tool is added to the marketplace, your agent can use it immediately.

One Connection, All the Tools

CLI (Recommended):

Install the AgentPatch CLI (zero dependencies, Python 3.10+):

pip install agentpatch

Set your API key:

export AGENTPATCH_API_KEY=your_api_key

Then use it:

ap search "web search"
ap run agentpatch google-search --input '{"query": "test"}'

Get your API key from the AgentPatch dashboard.

Claude Code:

Run this command to add AgentPatch as an MCP server:

claude mcp add -s user --transport http agentpatch https://agentpatch.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual key from the AgentPatch dashboard. Claude Code discovers all AgentPatch tools automatically.

OpenClaw:

Add AgentPatch to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "agentpatch": {
        "transport": "streamable-http",
        "url": "https://agentpatch.ai/mcp",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual key from the AgentPatch dashboard. Restart OpenClaw and it discovers all AgentPatch tools automatically.

That’s it. Your agent now has access to every tool on the marketplace.

Available Tools

The current catalog includes:

• Google Search — Web search for current information
• YouTube Transcripts — Full transcripts with timestamps from any public video
• Image Generation — Recraft-powered image generation (photos, illustrations, vectors)
• Email — Send emails directly from your agent
• Google Maps — Business search, locations, reviews
• Google News — News article search by topic
• And more — The catalog grows regularly

Each tool is hosted and maintained by AgentPatch. You don’t manage servers or worry about uptime.

MCP Marketplace vs. Self-Hosting

Self-hosting makes sense for custom, internal tools. For common capabilities like search, images, and email, a marketplace is faster and more reliable.

Pricing

AgentPatch uses pay-per-use pricing. You get free credits on signup. Each tool call costs a small number of credits depending on the tool. You only pay for what you use — no monthly subscriptions for tools you call twice.

Wrapping Up

The MCP marketplace model is the future of agent tooling. Instead of assembling your own stack of MCP servers, connect once and get everything. Visit agentpatch.ai to browse the catalog, get your API key, and start using tools immediately.
