How to get your API key

Don't worry — it's easier than it sounds. Most keys take just 2–5 minutes, and you only pay for what you use (often just a few cents). No monthly subscription.

Which key do I need? Each tool tells you at the top which key it asks for (for example "Claude API Key" or "OpenRouter key"). Just grab that one below. Not sure? The OpenRouter key is the easiest all-rounder and works with Claude too.

    if (req.method === "OPTIONS") {
      return new Response(null, { headers: {
        "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "*",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "GET,POST,OPTIONS"
      }});
    }
    const res = await fetch(target, {
      method: req.method,
      headers: req.headers,
      body: (req.method === "GET" || req.method === "HEAD") ? undefined : req.body
    });
    const headers = new Headers(res.headers);
    headers.set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
    return new Response(res.body, { status: res.status, headers });
  }
};
