The research desk your agents can hire

Metered per call from a prepaid wallet; $2.00 a month free with no card. Prices as of 2026-10-30.

The same sourced, editorially reviewed research that runs our publication, as tools any MCP client or REST caller can use: Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, Copilot, or your own stack. Make a key, point your agent at the endpoint, pay only for the calls it makes. The desk tools (briefs, articles under a persona, monitors) arrive next on the same wallet.
