Connect olud.ai to your stack
10,000+ open-source AI projects, 180+ models with live pricing, and open-source alternatives to 129 commercial products — reachable from your editor, your automations and your alerting, without opening this site.
MCP server
For Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and any MCP client.
Paste one address into your client and your assistant can query the catalogue while you work: find a tool for a task, pull a full project record, replace a paid product with an open-source one, pick a model that fits a budget and a context window, or see what is moving this week. Every answer carries the link to the matching page, so you can check the source.

REST API
Get your keyNine endpoints over the same graph.
Search, full project records, the models catalogue with pricing, open-source alternatives, the emerging index, and 90-day history on Pro. One key, one daily quota, counted separately from the MCP server — an editor asking a few questions never eats into your API budget.

n8n, Zapier and Make
Already possible today, no plugin required.
To read our data: use the generic HTTP Request node against any /api/v1/ endpoint, with your key in the X-Api-Key header.
To be notified: create a Webhook node in n8n (or a Catch Hook in Zapier), copy the URL it gives you, and paste it as a webhook endpoint in your account. Deliveries start on the next morning scan.
Method POST URL https://olud.ai/api/v1/search?q=ocr Header X-Api-Key: your-key

OpenAPI specification
Open the fileOne URL, and the tool configures itself.
Everything above — the nine endpoints, their parameters, the shape of every response, how to authenticate — described in the format most tools already read. You do not write an integration; you paste an address.
https://olud.ai/openapi.json
Custom GPT
Configure → Actions → Import from URL. Add your key as an API-key authentication, header X-Api-Key.
Dify, Flowise, Open WebUI
Add a tool from an OpenAPI schema, paste the URL, pick the operations you want to expose.
Postman, Insomnia
Import → Link. You get the nine requests, documented, ready to run.
Code generators
Any OpenAPI generator produces a typed client — TypeScript, Python, Go — from this file alone.

The same four events, formatted for their inboxes — a readable message instead of raw JSON, and the licence change in red because it is the only one with legal consequences.

Four feeds, readable by Slack, Teams, Feedly and every automation tool: what is new, releases, emerging projects and the blog. No key, no signup.
GitHub Actionready
