# Search the API plans

Returns the sheet's rows, one for each plan of each call, with its provider, price per 1,000, score out of 100, rate limits, speed and the fields it returns.

Note: Finds plans by API, provider or price. Each plan comes with its score, and the best come first, as on the sheet.

## Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

### MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings.

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "datacircle": { "url": "https://api.datacircle.dev/mcp" } } }
```

Call the MCP tool `search_plans`.

Server URL: https://api.datacircle.dev/mcp

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

## Rules

- Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
- Never print API keys.
