Agensi vs the Replicate API: AI models in your agent without a key

    Replicate runs AI models through an API, billed by run time or per output, with a remote MCP server that uses your Replicate API token. Agensi is for people who work in an AI agent: one MCP connection runs image, video, voice, music and data tools from one balance, with no API keys.

    111 tools and 642 skills that use them. Pay per use from one balance, no API keys.

    Replicate or Agensi: which one fits you?

    Choose Agensi when you want images, video, voice and music from inside your AI agent without keys or code. Your agent picks the tool, runs it from your balance and tells you what it cost, and the same connection covers data tools and skills. Limits per use, per day and per month keep spending where you want it.

    When another way is the better choice. Choose Replicate when you write code, need a model we don't list, want to fine-tune a model on your own images, or deploy your own model with Cog. If you already call GPT Image or FLUX through Replicate in an app, keep doing that.

    Set up in your AI agent

    Connect your AI agent to Agensi once, sign in and click Allow. After that it can use every tool: it runs one from your balance and tells you what it cost. No API keys or provider accounts.

    1. Open Settings, then Connectors, then Browse connectors and add Agensi (or Add custom connector and paste https://mcp.agensi.io/mcp/auth).
    2. Sign in to Agensi and click Allow. One agent per account: connecting a new one disconnects the old one.
    3. Ask for what you want. Top up from $5 if your balance is low; failed uses are free.

    Grok, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Kiro and other agents with remote MCP and sign-in work too: see the setup guide.
