What's the best way to ask?

the prompt
Using olywork, enrich a company from its domain or name. Show me the price first.

Why olywork.com

Why call The Companies API through olywork.com

No The Companies API signup

Eligible tools run on olywork.com's key, metered per call from a prepaid balance.

Price before the call

The provider's own rate, $0.000 markup. How billing works.

No subscription, no seats

Platform calls are charged per call. $1.00 free per new team, no card to start.

Your own The Companies API key is free

Register it and those calls are never metered. Your key always wins.

Switch by changing a word

Another provider is a different word in the prompt, not a new integration.

One key, the whole catalog

The same token calls AI Ark, Akta by Wokelo, Apollo.io and 3,275 other tools.

  • Check API token validity · BYOK only · helper · No olywork charge; upstream free
    Check the Companies API token works, without spending a credit thecompaniesapi.account.usage

Questions

Before you start

Do I need a The Companies API account?

For 4 platform tools, no. The other 1 require your own The Companies API key. All 5 accept your own key, and olywork never meters BYOK calls.

What does a call cost?

Each tool on this page shows its rate; the cheapest is $0.0019/success. The rate is the provider's own and olywork.com adds no markup; it is billed per call from a prepaid balance. It is not The Companies API's subscription pricing, which is on their own site. New teams start with $1.00 of free credit.

How do I add The Companies API to Claude Code?

Run: claude mcp add --transport http olywork https://olywork.com/mcp. One MCP server carries The Companies API and the rest of the catalog.

Which frameworks does it work with?

Anything that speaks MCP (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Grok) and anything that can make an HTTP request (LangChain, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, plain code).

Is this the official The Companies API MCP server?

No. olywork.com serves The Companies API's real API through its own metered proxy: the request is the provider's own, the credential is injected server-side, and the answer is relayed verbatim. The official The Companies API channels are linked above.
