What is Smithery?
GadgetHumans API Hub (scotia1973/api-hub2) is an MCP server that integrates 337+ tools into a single server, providing access to weather data, crypto prices, finance information, web search, DNS lookup, color utilities, text analysis, calculators, SEO tools, readability checks, code analysis, and many more capabilities. This unified API hub eliminates the need to manage multiple separate API integrations by consolidating diverse tools under one connection point.
Key features include credit-based pay-as-you-go billing that makes pricing predictable across different APIs, automatic OAuth handling with token refresh and session management managed by Smithery, and multiple integration options via the Smithery CLI, MCP SDK, or AI SDK. The server supports seamless integration with AI tools and language models through the Model Context Protocol, enabling AI agents to call various APIs programmatically.
This tool is designed for developers building AI agents, startups creating API-driven applications, and enterprises needing reliable access to multiple utility APIs. It's ideal for teams prototyping applications, developers testing APIs, and organizations requiring high availability and low latency for both traditional applications and AI agent queries. The platform serves both human developers and AI agents with comprehensive documentation and flexible pricing.
Smithery pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
Starter plan is completely free without credit card, ideal for testing APIs, prototyping, or exploring before committing to paid plans. Credit-based pay-as-you-go billing uses atoms as unified usage unit where each API call consumes atoms取决于API和request complexity. If monthly atom limit reached, requests paused until next billing cycle or pre-purchased atoms (available on paid plans). Monthly atom allowances reset at billing cycle start. All plans give access to full API catalog; plans only affect usage limits (atoms, request size, storage). Enterprise plans tailored for high-volume usage with custom limits, dedicated support, and compliance/security requirements. Credit cards accepted; enterprise can arrange invoicing.

Frequently asked questions about Smithery
What are atoms and how do they work?
Atoms are the unified usage unit for API Catalog pricing. Each API call consumes a certain number of atoms depending on the specific API and the complexity of the request. This makes pricing predictable across different APIs instead of juggling per-API pricing models. If you reach your monthly atom limit, requests will be paused until your next billing cycle or until you pre-purchase additional atoms, which is available on paid plans.
Is there a free plan available?
Yes, the Starter plan is completely free and does not require a credit card. It's ideal for testing APIs, prototyping, or exploring ApyHub before committing to a paid plan. The Free plan includes 100 complimentary credits with no card required, 100 requests/month, and 1 MCP project.
Do monthly atom allowances roll over?
No, monthly atom allowances reset at the beginning of each billing cycle. This helps keep pricing simple and predictable. If you expect spikes in usage, pre-purchasing atoms may be a better fit than relying on rollover.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan at any time from your dashboard. Upgrades take effect immediately, while downgrades apply at the start of your next billing cycle. Changes take effect immediately for upgrades and the next billing period for downgrades.
Does my plan limit which APIs I can use?
No, all plans give you access to the full ApyHub API catalog. Your plan only affects usage limits such as atoms, request size, and storage, not which APIs you can use. Every workspace has access to all available APIs regardless of plan tier.
How are AI calls handled on different plans?
AI calls include requests to AI-powered APIs available on ApyHub. On the Starter plan, these are capped daily. On paid plans, AI calls are included within your atom allowance with no separate daily limit, giving you more flexibility for AI-driven applications.
What happens when I reach my monthly atom limit?
If you reach your monthly atom limit, requests will be paused until your next billing cycle or until you pre-purchase additional atoms, which is available on paid plans. You'll always be notified before hitting the limit so there are no surprises.
Are enterprise plans available?
Yes, enterprise plans are tailored for high-volume usage with custom limits, dedicated support, and specific compliance or security requirements. Enterprise customers can contact the company to discuss their needs and arrange invoicing and alternative payment methods.
What payment methods are accepted?
Credit cards are accepted for all plans. For enterprise customers, invoicing and alternative payment methods can be arranged. You can purchase credits using your preferred payment method, and they are added to your account balance.
