What is Arch AI Tools?

Arch AI Tools is a suite of 63 production-ready API tools bundled behind a single API key for building AI agents and integrations. It provides web scraping, multi-model AI generation (Claude, GPT-4, Grok, Gemini), image & video generation, OCR, audio transcription & TTS, crypto and finance data, email, domain/IP lookups, utilities and agent/workflow tooling. It also supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) for local/desktop and SSE for hosted agents.

How to use Arch AI Tools?

  • Get an API key: register at archtools.dev (100 free credits on signup).
  • Install/run: use npx (@deesmo/arch-tools-mcp) or install via Smithery (npx @smithery/cli install mcmetaverse/arch-tools). For Claude Desktop, add the MCP server entry pointing to the npx command and ARCH_API_KEY.
  • Hosted SSE: connect to the SSE endpoint https://arch-tools-mcp.onrender.com/sse for remote/MCP-compatible clients (no install required).
  • Call tools by sending JSON payloads that specify a “tool” name and an “arguments” object (examples: search-web, generate-image, crypto-price, web-scrape, fact-check).

Key features

  • 63 modular tools covering AI generation, vision, audio, web scraping, crypto/finance, data utilities, lookups and integrations.
  • Multi-model support: Claude, OpenAI (GPT-4, Whisper), Grok, Gemini, DALL·E 3, Runway, ElevenLabs, etc.
  • MCP-compatible server (stdio + SSE) for local agent integration and hosted SSE for remote agents.
  • Built-in credit/payment model with Stripe and x402 USDC autonomous payments for agents.
  • Security: SSRF protection, API keys hashed (SHA-256), rate limits, CORS, input validation via JSON Schema.
  • Utility tools: format conversions, regex generation, JSONPath, PII detection, URL shortening, QR/barcode generation.

Use cases

  1. Powering AI chat agents and autonomous workflows (session-create, workflow-agent, ai-oracle).
  2. Generating images/videos and audio assets for apps or content (DALL·E 3, Runway Gen-3, ElevenLabs).
  3. Scraping and extracting web content for analysis, summarization or research (web-scrape, extract-page, extract-pdf).
  4. Building crypto dashboards, alerts and research tools (crypto-price, crypto-sentiment, token-lookup).
  5. Automating email and notification pipelines (email-send, webhook-send, url-shorten).
  6. Data processing & validation utility pipelines (convert-format, validate-data, pii-detect).

FAQ
