version: "1.0.0" name: choosing-an-api description: Use when the user or agent needs to pick a public API for a task (weather, images, finance, etc.). Queries public-apis-live for reachable, deduped options.

Choosing a Public API

When a task needs an external data source or service, query the public-apis-live MCP tools before guessing a provider:

  1. list_categories to see what's available.
  2. search_apis with a category and/or search term; prefer status: "up" and auth: "none"

for zero-setup options.

  1. get_api for full details (URL, auth, HTTPS) before recommending one.

Always tell the user the auth requirement and that status reflects reachability, not functional testing.
