In plain English

Agentic was a marketplace and gateway for AI tools, a platform where developers could publish their own tools or APIs and immediately start charging other developers and AI agents for using them. The central idea was that if you had an existing HTTP API or a server built using the MCP protocol (a standard for exposing tools to AI systems), you could register it with Agentic and begin monetizing it with minimal effort. From the consumer side, developers could browse a curated catalog of tools, all of which had been manually reviewed and tested. Billing was handled through Stripe on a per-use basis. The underlying infrastructure used a global edge network to route requests quickly, with support for caching and rate limiting. The project described itself as compatible with every major TypeScript AI library. Note that as of February 2026, the project has been archived by its author and is no longer actively developed. The code remains publicly available but receives no further updates.
