# Glasser

Glasser gives coding agents access to paid APIs for data enrichment, SEO, SERP research, scraping, places, and news, with charges taken from a chosen workspace balance.

## What it does

Glasser connects an agent to a catalog of paid APIs through MCP. Its tools cover catalog searches, endpoint inspection, API execution, run history, and workspace balance checks. Charges apply when the agent calls `run`; catalog lookups and balance reads do not create billable runs. Each execution reports its own cost, so the agent can review endpoint pricing before sending a request.

The included skill guides the agent through finding an API, checking its price and billing conditions, running the request, and reporting both the output and the charge. An optional CLI handles results that exceed the context window and supports scripting and CI workflows. Cursor also gets a persistent spending rule.

On first use, the client opens a browser for Glasser sign-in. Choose the workspace whose funds the agent may use, then grant permission. The repository distributes configuration and Markdown files rather than executable code. Revoking the generated client key disconnects access; disconnecting the client alone does not revoke that key.
