During the public beta, no API key or authentication header is required. Requests are subject to rate limits to ensure fair usage.
Current setup
Add the UseAgents MCP server to your agent’s config with just the URL:x-api-key header or Authorization header is needed at this time.
Verify the connection
After saving the config:- Restart the MCP-compatible client if needed.
- Confirm the
UseAgentsserver is available in the client. - Ask the agent to use
search_toolswith a simple query. - Confirm you receive results instead of an error.
Rate limits
