Call the index from anything
Every number on this site is available as a free JSON API and a remote MCP server. No key, no signup, no SDK — point your agent at one URL and ask.
MCP server (for Claude and other agents)
Remote, streamable-HTTP transport — nothing to install. Add this URL as an MCP server and your agent can answer questions from live index data:
https://theaiindex.dev/api/mcp
In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http ai-index https://theaiindex.dev/api/mcp

Terms — short version
- Free to use, including commercially. No key required today.
- Cite us. Every response carries a
sourceandurl— keep them with the numbers when you publish or display them. That's the deal. - Be reasonable with volume. Bulk exports, historical dumps and alerting are on the roadmap as a paid tier — tell us what you need.
- Data is provided as-is. Read the methodology and its caveats before making decisions on it — and check the track record rather than taking our word for it.
Why free: the index is more useful as infrastructure than as a walled garden. If an agent answers “is Clari shrinking?” using our numbers and cites us, that's the product working.
