The API layer for the
entire web.

Most websites don’t have APIs. Wire gives AI agents and automation a direct line in: structured endpoints instead of browser clicks, screenshots, and brittle selectors.

wire
Use it anywhere

Drop Wire into Claude, Cursor, or any LLM, with one key.

Wire ships inside the Anakin MCP server. One command and your agent gets a wire_action tool for all 100+ sites. No SDK, no glue code.

The catalog

One API for every site your agent needs.

Amazon, GitHub, Reddit, Shopify, Zillow, and dozens more, each a maintained set of structured actions behind a single key.

The math

Every browser an agent doesn’t open is a small miracle.

Driving a real browser to fetch one structured fact is the most expensive way to retrieve information ever invented. Wire replaces that whole loop with a single call.

Structured JSON only, no raw HTML ever reaches your model.
The call

One POST. Typed JSON. Done.

The whole interaction is one HTTP call. Pick an action from the catalog, send the params it accepts, get a typed schema back. No scrapers to babysit.

How it works

From catalog to JSON in three calls.

Wire is a thin, opinionated REST layer. There is no SDK lock-in; every action is a documented HTTP endpoint with a schema you can paste into your tool calls.

01 · Browse

Find an action.

Search the catalog by site or category. Every action lists its params, return schema, and per-call cost.

·amazon.search_products
·amazon.product_detail
·amazon.reviews
+ 11 more
02 · Call

Fire one request.

Pick the action, send params. Wire handles auth, proxies, hydration, parsing, retries.

POST /v1/wire/task

paramsquery: "echo dot"limit: 5
Run
03 · Receive

Get structured data.

Same shape every time. Never breaks when the source site redesigns; we patch upstream.

Six endpoints. One key. Done.

Wire is small on purpose: six endpoints cover every interaction. Pick one to see the exact request and the JSON it returns.

Auth · Identities

Sign in once. Hand your agent an identity.

Save an account once as a named identity. Your agent passes only the reference; Wire resolves it inside the vault and injects the real session. The secret never crosses the line.
