What your AI can do with ChinaAPI
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “chinaapi_estimate_cost”: Estimate the USD cost of a workload on one model from its published per-meter prices: Standard, and Paid where it is lower. Pass quantities.”
“Use “chinaapi_get_model”: Get one model by its exact ID: base URL and endpoints, the Standard and Paid price snapshot per meter with the time it was read and the pric.”
“Use “chinaapi_get_recipe”: Get a runnable request for one model — endpoint, headers, JSON body or multipart form, a curl command, and for video the polling step — exac.”
“Use “chinaapi_list_models”: List the models ChinaAPI serves, optionally filtered by capability, task, maker or a model-ID substring. Each entry has the exact model ID,.”
How secure is the ChinaAPI MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how ChinaAPI holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by ChinaAPI (chinaapi.ai) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If ChinaAPI adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps
Connect your gate
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.

Who runs the ChinaAPI MCP server?
The ChinaAPI MCP server at a glance
https://api.chinaapi.ai/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official ChinaAPI MCP server?
Yes — ChinaAPI operates its own remote MCP server at api.chinaapi.ai. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect ChinaAPI to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick ChinaAPI in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, ChinaAPI's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. ChinaAPI runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the ChinaAPI MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect ChinaAPI in minutes. No credit card required.
