Your AI coding assistant is smart, but it's trapped in a box. It can't search the web, check social media, generate images, or access real-time data — unless you wire up each API yourself.
SandBase changes that. One command connects your agent to 2,000+ AI models and APIs through the Model Context Protocol. No API keys to manage. No configuration headaches.
Building directly over HTTP instead of MCP? Start with the SandBase API quickstart or compare the unified LLM, image, and video API with specialized model gateways.
Paste this into your agent and let it do the rest:
set up https://www.sandbase.ai/SKILL.md
It reads the SandBase Skill, runs connect itself, and asks you to approve one browser sign-in. Prefer to drive it yourself:
npx -y @sandbaseai/cli@latest connect
Or install the official Homebrew formula on macOS or Linux:
brew install sandbaseai/tap/sandbaseai-cli
sandbase connect
See the Homebrew launch announcement and macOS/Linux CI evidence.
Approve the browser authorization once; each supported client can then discover,
inspect, and run available SandBase models and APIs through the local MCP bridge.
Start a new session afterwards so the sandbase_* tools load.
Every GitHub release publishes its own SHA-256 next to the tarball, so you can pin
and verify an exact build instead of tracking latest:
V=$(npm view @sandbaseai/cli version)
curl -fL -O "https://github.com/sandbaseai/cli/releases/download/v$V/sandbaseai-cli-$V.tgz"
shasum -a 256 "sandbaseai-cli-$V.tgz" # compare against the checksum on the release page
npx -y "./sandbaseai-cli-$V.tgz" connect
Want to inspect compatibility before signing in or changing configuration? The client catalog is a read-only command — it writes nothing and needs no account:
npx -y @sandbaseai/cli@latest catalog --json
Homebrew users can run the same read-only check with sandbase catalog --json.
| Price | |
|---|---|
| Data APIs — search, social, scraping, e-commerce, finance | Free |
| Discovery, inspection, run status, balance, file upload | Free |
| Models — LLM, image, video, audio | Paid per call or per million tokens |
sandbase inspect <tool> always shows the current price before you run anything;
base_price: 0 means the call is free. Prices can change, so trust the live
response over any example in this file.

After connecting, ask your agent to follow the same inspectable sequence for search, data APIs, language models, image generation, video generation, and other catalog capabilities:
sandbase_discover to find candidates by task or capability.sandbase_inspect to read the current input schema, pricing, and
execution requirements.sandbase_run.
Data API calls are free; confirm the cost first when the tool is a model.sandbase_run_get with the returned run_id
instead of creating a duplicate run.sandbase_runs to review recent run status and recorded cost.sandbase_account to check the current account balance.For example, start with a non-billable discovery request:
Find image models suitable for a square product illustration. Compare the required inputs and current pricing for the best two candidates. Do not run either model yet.
Discovery and inspection never cost anything, so an agent can always survey the catalog before it spends.
After reviewing the live response, explicitly approve the endpoint and inputs you want to run. Catalog entries, schemas, pricing, latency, and availability can change, so use the tool response from the current session rather than a static example.
