## Exfil surface

No private-data -> untrusted-input -> outbound path in this server alone: no tool is tagged private-data.

| Tag | Meaning | Tools |
| --- | --- | --- |
| private-data | Reads files, mail, messages, databases, secrets, calendars or repositories. | none |
| untrusted-input | Brings in text someone else can write: web pages, inbound email, messages, issues and comments. | `mcp__apihubio__apihub_read_content` |
| outbound | Can carry data to people or systems: it sends, posts or publishes, or takes a recipient, channel or URL. | `mcp__apihubio__apihub_call_external` `mcp__apihubio__apihub_read_content` |

## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Can't be undone (2)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `apihub_call`

- The name "apihub_call" says "call": a word for a change.
- The description's first verb is "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Sends payment. Calls a paid endpoint on an onboarded APIHub service. Debits the endpoint's price from your credit balance and forwards the request to the upstream provider. Returns an object with the upstream response body, HTTP status, and credits_charged_microdollars. Requires a valid API key and sufficient credit balance; if balance is insufficient the call returns a 402 with payment requirements (use apihub_topup to add credits, apihub_balance to check). Use this for services already onboarded to APIHub (find slugs via apihub_search or apihub_list_services); use apihub_call_external for arbitrary x402 URLs not onboarded here, or apihub_read_content for content gateways.
```

### `apihub_topup`

- The name "apihub_topup" says "topup": a word that usually means money moves, which cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Purchase APIHub credits via x402 (USDC on Base). Returns payment instructions including a web URL for browser-based payment, a CLI command, and raw x402 requirements for agents with wallet support. Credits are added to your account instantly once payment confirms on-chain.
```

## Changes things (1)

Creates or changes something that can be changed back. Claude Code: ask.

### `apihub_call_external`

- The name "apihub_call_external" says "call": a word for a change.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Call an external x402-protected URL (any provider in the marketplace or any x402 API). APIHub pays the provider on your behalf using the platform wallet and debits your credit balance for the exact amount. No wallet or gas required.
```

## Only reads (6)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `apihub_balance`

- The description's first verb is "read": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read-only. Returns your current APIHub credit balance (in microdollars and USD), total lifetime spending (microdollars and USD), and total completed request count. Requires a valid API key. Use before apihub_call or apihub_call_external to confirm sufficient funds for a paid request, or periodically to audit usage. Does not modify state, send payments, or call upstream APIs; for top-ups use apihub_topup.
```

### `apihub_get_service`

- The name "apihub_get_service" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get full details for a specific API service including all endpoints, schemas, and pricing.
```

### `apihub_list_services`

- The name "apihub_list_services" says "list": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read-only. Lists onboarded APIHub services alphabetically, returning each service's slug, name, description, category, provider, endpoint count, and lowest per-endpoint price in microdollars. No authentication required. Use this to browse the full onboarded catalog when you don't have a specific capability in mind; prefer apihub_search when filtering by query, category, or price. Does not include external x402 APIs (use apihub_search_external for those) and does not return endpoint-level details (use apihub_get_service for that).
```

### `apihub_read_content`

- The name "apihub_read_content" says "read": a word for reading.
- Tag untrusted-input: The description's first sentence says "read" and "web": it reads web pages, which anyone can write. The input takes a URL (input.url), and the tool reads it: it reads web pages, which anyone can write.
- Tag outbound: The input takes a URL (input.url): a request to a URL can carry data to whoever runs it.
- Claude Code: ask, because it is tagged outbound.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read web content through a paid content gateway. Returns clean, structured text extracted from the URL. Use this for content services (service_type = 'content').
```

### `apihub_search`

- The name "apihub_search" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Read-only. Searches onboarded APIHub services by free-text query, with optional category, price, and type filters. Returns up to 10 matches ranked by uptime and endpoint count, each with slug, description, endpoints array, min price in microdollars, provider name, and quality score. No authentication required. Use this when you need to find an API by capability; use apihub_list_services to browse without a query, apihub_search_external to include the external x402 catalog, or apihub_get_service when you already know a slug. Does not call any upstream API or debit credits.
```

### `apihub_search_external`

- The name "apihub_search_external" says "search": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Search external x402-protected APIs (not operated by APIHub, but callable via credits). Returns listings with endpoint counts, prices, and tx_count_7d (USDC payments received on Base in the last 7 days), most used first.
```

## Claude Code permissions

For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `apihubio`:

```json
{
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [
      "mcp__apihubio__apihub_search",
      "mcp__apihubio__apihub_list_services",
      "mcp__apihubio__apihub_get_service",
      "mcp__apihubio__apihub_search_external",
      "mcp__apihubio__apihub_balance"
    ],
    "ask": [
      "mcp__apihubio__apihub_call",
      "mcp__apihubio__apihub_call_external",
      "mcp__apihubio__apihub_read_content",
      "mcp__apihubio__apihub_topup"
    ],
    "deny": []
  }
}
```

Capability tags behind the rules (a read tagged outbound is asked about):

- `mcp__apihubio__apihub_call_external`: outbound
- `mcp__apihubio__apihub_read_content`: untrusted-input, outbound

## Remote posture

What an anonymous client saw at the remote endpoint, last 2026-10-22T14:56:22.850Z, unchanged since 2026-10-22T14:56:22.850Z. No credentials were sent and no tool was called. Values are shown as the endpoint returned them. Method: https://anlyon.dev/methodology#remote-posture

| Fact | Observed |
| --- | --- |
| Reachable | `yes` |
| HTTP status of an anonymous initialize | `200` |
| tools/list served without credentials | `yes` |
| Tools that change things, listed without credentials | `3` |
| Protocol version | `2025-03-26` |
| WWW-Authenticate on 401 | `not observed` |
| resource_metadata in WWW-Authenticate | `none` |
| RFC 9728 protected resource metadata | `none` |
| Authorization servers | `none` |
| Legacy HTTP+SSE transport | `no` |
| Dynamic client registration | `not observed` |
| Client ID metadata documents | `not observed` |

- **high** Tools that change things, listed to anyone ([unauth-remote-writes](https://anlyon.dev/methodology#unauth-remote-writes))

```untrusted-server-text
The endpoint served tools/list without credentials, and the list has 3 tools that change things (2 irreversible, 1 write). Whether a call also works without credentials was not tested: tools are never called.

https://mcp.apihub.io/mcp: tools/list returned 9 tools to an anonymous client, including apihub_call (irreversible), apihub_topup (irreversible), apihub_call_external (write)
