Agent-native access

AI agents and copilots

Agents do not read documentation; they call tools. TickerLayer ships as an MCP server and as a connector for chat assistants, so "what is gold doing right now" becomes one authenticated call that returns a price and the time it was observed.

Why TickerLayer

Built for this, not adapted to it

  • Tools, not endpoints

    The model picks the tool; nobody writes a prompt that explains a URL.

  • Sign in once

    OAuth consent tied to the user's account, with no keys pasted into a chat.

  • Pay per call

    Agents without a subscription pay per request with x402.

Customer story

The assistant that answers "what is gold doing" with a timestamp

Users connect TickerLayer inside a chat assistant with one consent screen and ask about markets in plain language.

  • 1 screen

    from "connect" to the first answer

  • 0 keys

    pasted into a chat, ever

  • Every answer

    carries the moment the price was observed

Frequently asked questions

Which assistants can connect?

Any client that speaks MCP, and any assistant platform that supports OAuth-based connectors.

Does the agent get real-time data?

Yes. Tool calls run on the same feed as the REST API, with the entitlements of the account that signed in.

How do I keep an agent from burning my quota?

Tool calls count as REST requests against the plan, and the dashboard shows per-key usage the same hour.
