Docs say API keys come from the platform dashboard in Platform and Enterprise editions, while the pricing page lists the API on every plan.\n\n**Prismatic.** The GraphQL API covers 120 queries and 124 mutations with typed inputs, cursor pagination and Markdown documentation, and tokens follow seven user roles. No price is published, paid use runs under an agreement that is not public, and no API rate limit or idempotency key was found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Activepieces API + MCP\n\n1. Run `ap_validate_flow` before publishing a flow\n2. Use `ap_search_actions` with a plain task description rather than listing pieces\n3. Turn off the Flow Building and Tables groups for a project the agent should only read\n4. Page with `limit` and `cursor` and stop when `next` is null\n5. Cloud runs stop at 10 minutes of active time. Waits and approvals don't count\n\n### Prismatic\n\n1. Have a person run `prism login` once, then store the output of `prism me:token --type refresh` as `PRISM_REFRESH_TOKEN`. Access tokens last 7 days\n2. Read the `errors` array on every mutation. A failed mutation still returns HTTP 200\n3. Pass `sortBy` with `CREATED_AT` when paging. Without a sort order pages can repeat or skip records\n4. Use the regional host for the tenant, such as `app.eu-west-1.prismatic.io` and `mcp.eu-west-1.prismatic.io`\n5. Create a guest user for a read-only agent, because tokens have no scopes of their own\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Activepieces API + MCP or Prismatic?\n\nPrismatic scores 59.1 (C) on agent readiness against Activepieces API + MCP's 57.5 (C), and leads in 2 of 7 scored categories. Activepieces API + MCP leads on schema \u0026 documentation, security \u0026 auth, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Activepieces API + MCP and Prismatic need an API key?\n\nActivepieces API + MCP takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Prismatic uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Activepieces API + MCP and Prismatic without installing anything?\n\nYes. Activepieces API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://cloud.activepieces.com/api/v1 and Prismatic at https://mcp.prismatic.io/mcp.\n\n### Are Activepieces API + MCP and Prismatic open source?\n\nActivepieces API + MCP is open source (MIT (core), commercial licence for enterprise-only parts).
