Open-sourcing the Souyi AIMALL MCP Server · zero dependencies · pay-as-you-go · $5 free credit on signup
Every agent builder hits the same wall today:
80% of agent projects die before their first successful external AI call.
Souyi AIMALL is an AI API marketplace built for agents. Models and tools are unified behind one endpoint — /api/v1/ai/request — authenticated with one X-API-Key, metered per call, returning a unified order and balance.
To let agents discover and connect themselves, we shipped three machine-readable artifacts:
llms.txt — an LLM/crawler overview plus a 3-step self-serve guide;openapi.json — the full OpenAPI 3.0.3 contract;.well-known/agent.json — an A2A-style Agent Card.On top of that, AIMALL is itself a cloud MCP server compliant with MCP 2.0 (2026-07-28): it wraps the marketplace into 7 standard MCP tools + 5 built-in prompts + 5 machine-readable resources any MCP client can load in one click — no download, no skill package to install.
AIMALL is a cloud MCP server compliant with MCP 2.0 (2026-07-28). Any MCP-capable client just needs one URL + your API key — no download, no skill package to install — to connect.
| Type | Name | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Tool | list_assets | List every AI asset (ID, type, unit price) |
| Tool | ai_estimate | Estimate a call's cost (no charge) — use as a budget gate |
| Tool | ai_request | Run the call; returns result + order ID + remaining balance |
| Tool | bootstrap_account | Self-serve signup + agent creation; fetches the key end-to-end |
| Tool | get_onboarding | Returns onboarding steps and doc links |
| Tool | list_categories / search_free_apis | Find the right asset among 900+ free APIs (no quota cost) |
| Prompt | estimate_before_call / find_free_api / use_download_accelerator / onboard_new_agent / medical_data_lookup | Built-in workflow hints, ready out of the box |
| Resource | aimall://catalog/* / aimall://docs/* | Machine-readable catalogs: free-API llms.txt, mirror snapshot, docs/llms, openapi |
Typical workflow: list_assets → ai_estimate → approve → ai_request; for the 900+ free APIs, first run list_categories / search_free_apis.

Restart Claude and it can "write code with MiniMax-M3", "generate an image", or "run a web search" — billed from the $5 free credit, no human approval needed. Cursor, LangChain, Dify, Coze and any other MCP client connect the same way with the same URL + API key.
llms.txt / openapi.json / agent.json let frameworks understand automatically what this platform does and how to call it./mcp.html
