One API.
Many minds inside.
powapi fuses the strongest frontier intelligences into a single endpoint. Point Claude Code, Cursor, Cline or any Anthropic-compatible client at api.powapi.io — we read each turn, pick the right horsepower, and answer. Fast where it can be, careful where it must be.
One API. Built for the way coding agents actually work.
We don't expose a model picker because picking is our job. powapi reads the request, decides how much horsepower it needs, and delivers — every time.
Drop in. Two env vars. Done.
powapi speaks the standard protocols every coding agent already uses. Point your client at our base URL and keep working.
Anthropic's CLI. Drop-in subscription endpoint.

Aider, Continue.dev, Zed AI, custom apps — if it speaks Anthropic Messages or OpenAI chat completions, it works.
Speaks the Anthropic Messages protocol your client already uses. Streaming, tool calls, vision — preserved exactly.
Each request gets read by powapi before it ships. Easy ones go fast. Hard ones get the careful answer. You never tune a knob.
Built-in repairs and stabilizers under the hood — so even the cheaper compute path lands at frontier-quality answers.
Subscription if you code daily. Top-up balance if you don't. Either way, no metered invoices and no surprise charges.

No subscription? Just top up.
Drop a USD balance from $5 to $1,000, call /v1/messages or /v1/chat/completions and powapi handles the rest. One flat rate, no model picker, no expiry.
For heavy daily use a subscription works out cheaper per token. The pay-as-you-go rate is for occasional and project-based work.
Common questions
Yes. Set ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — everything else (tool loops, vision, long context) works identically.
Picking is our job. powapi reads each turn and decides how much horsepower it needs. The result is faster on simple turns, more careful on hard ones, and cheaper than guessing yourself.
Yes. Top up a USD balance ($5–$1,000) and use the pay-per-token endpoints. We deduct per request and reject with HTTP 402 once the balance hits zero — no recurring charges.
Hetzner EU. We never persist your message contents — only token counts and request metadata for billing and reliability.
