Unified API Key Manager for AI Agents

A unified platform that handles API keys, authentication, and billing across dozens of different AI tools and MCPs (Model Context Protocols). Users pay one company to manage their access instead of creating and funding separate accounts for every new AI micro-service.

Why now

The number of AI tools and MCP integrations is exploding, making key management a massive friction point.

Market gap

Setting up accounts and managing API keys for 100+ different AI tools (like Firecrawl) is annoying and fragments billing.

I built next gen AI Agents with MCP + Claude (STEAL my workflow)10:06
I can't wait for the client that comes in and handles the keys for something Firecrawl, and then we just pay one company instead of having to set up accounts on all of them. Which is a startup idea in itself.
