TinyFish

Summary

TinyFish is web infrastructure for AI agents: a search API, a page-fetch API, remote stealth browser sessions, and a web agent that navigates and authenticates into live sites. It runs on Mako, TinyFish's own web-native model.

Best for: Developers who need free structured web data plus paid browser automation on one key
Not for: Teams that need airtight CAPTCHA bypass out of the box: TinyFish still routes the toughest CAPTCHAs to third-party solvers like CapSolver, adding extra tooling and cost for sites with aggressive bot defenses.

What it does

Done-for-you service: NoYou run software: four self-serve APIs, with a contract and tuned limits on Enterprise.TinyFish gives you four public API surfaces: Agent, Search, Fetch, and Browser.docs.tinyfish.ai

How much it does unattended

Runs autonomously: YesGiven a goal it navigates, adapts and continues until the goal is complete.Give Web Agent the result you need. It moves through the website, observes what changed, adjusts the next step, and continues until the goal is…tinyfish.ai/agent
Multi-agent: NoRuns execute in parallel but each works independently toward its own goal; no coordination is claimed.Run Web Agent across many accounts, sites, records, filings, products, or locations at once. Each browser run works independently toward its own goal…tinyfish.ai/agent
Agent permissions: PartlyRuns unattended, but credentials are scoped per run through a connected password vault and the agent never sees them.Select credentials per run and TinyFish handles login securely — the AI agent never sees your actual passwords.docs.tinyfish.ai/faq.md

Which models it runs on

Claude: NoInference is TinyFish's own; Claude appears only as an MCP client, not as a selectable model.LLM inferenceAgent The model the agent reasons with. No key to bring, no provider bill on top.tinyfish.ai/pricing

Open models: NoRuns on Mako, the vendor's own web-native model; no open-weight option is offered.The web-native AI model that completes real workflows on the live web. Reliable at scale, at a fraction of frontier-model cost.tinyfish.ai/mako
Model choice: NoThe vendor picks the model; inference is bundled into the per-step rate.You pay for the agent work performed. TinyFish handles token costs, browsers, storage, retries, proxies, and run infrastructure.tinyfish.ai/agent

Where you use it

In your editor: YesHosted MCP server installs into Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.Connect TinyFish to Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant.docs.tinyfish.ai/mcp-integration.md
On the command line: YesA CLI ships alongside the SDKs and MCP endpoint and can start a run from a goal.Start from a goal in the CLI, MCP, SDK, API, or your own automation stack.tinyfish.ai/agent
In your pipeline: PartlyThe CLI documents a headless CI/CD authentication path, but nothing acts on a pull request or reports into a build.TINYFISH_API_KEY | API key — takes priority over saved configdocs.tinyfish.ai/cli
In a browser: YesA hosted dashboard and playground run goals, manage profiles and hold Wallet controls.Wallet top-ups and auto-reload changes happen in the dashboard, not through this tool.docs.tinyfish.ai/mcp-integration.md

Whose machine it runs on

Self-hosted: PartlyCloud-hosted by default; VPC deployment is an Enterprise item and on-premises needs a separate written agreement.The Services are provided as a hosted, cloud-based offering. On-premises deployment of the Services, if any, requires a separate written agreement.tinyfish.ai/terms
Open source: NoThe service is closed; only the cookbook of examples is published openly.reproduce, modify, translate, enhance, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or create derivative works of the Servicestinyfish.ai/terms

What it costs to run

How it meters: YesMetered per agent step and per browser-minute against a prepaid Wallet; Search and Fetch are free.Agent Limit: 2 concurrent runs $0.016 per step Browser Limit: 5 concurrent sessions $0.002 per minutetinyfish.ai/pricing
Free tier: YesSearch and Fetch are free at any balance, and new accounts get $8 of Wallet funds before adding a card.New accounts start with $8 in Wallet funds, so you can run Agent and Browser before you add a card.tinyfish.ai/pricing
API access: YesFour REST APIs (Agent, Search, Fetch, Browser) with Python and TypeScript SDKs and webhooks.| Agent | `https://agent.tinyfish.ai/v1/automation/...` |docs.tinyfish.ai
MCP server: YesHosted MCP server with OAuth 2.1 exposes automation, search, fetch, browser-session and wallet tools.TinyFish MCP uses OAuth 2.1 for secure authentication. The first time you connect, your browser will open to complete the OAuth flow.docs.tinyfish.ai/mcp-integration.md
