Orthogonal

aid: orthogonal
name: Orthogonal
description: Orthogonal is a unified API and payment layer for AI agents, backed by Pantera Capital and Y Combinator. An agent
  describes what it needs in natural language and Orthogonal returns the right service from a catalog of 40+ third-party APIs
  (web search, data enrichment, scraping, email finding/verification, identity), then proxies the call and meters a per-call
  price. Access is available through a REST API (api.orthogonal.com), a TypeScript SDK (@orth/sdk), a Python SDK (orth), a
  CLI (@orth/cli), and an official hosted MCP server (mcp.orthogonal.com) for Claude, Cursor, and other agents. Billing is
  prepaid credits or pay-per-call stablecoin micropayments over x402 (USDC on Base) and MPP (USDC.e on Tempo). Orthogonal
  also publishes an open library of 88 installable Agent Skills.
