It is months old, with no changelog, a 14-day status history, no security.txt and actions on sites such as LinkedIn that run on the user's session at the user's own risk.\n\n**Smithery.** Service tokens can be limited by namespace, resource, operation and connection metadata, with a lifetime of at most 24 hours. No terms of service, rate limits or SLA were found, the pricing page could not be read, and the newest client release is from 20 July 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### AgentWeb\n\n1. Call `find_actions` with the task in plain words before paging `list_actions`; pass an exact domain to `list_actions` for full parameter definitions\n2. Send an `Idempotency-Key` header on every REST `POST /api/execute` retry so a retried call is charged once\n3. Check `outcome.status` on checkouts and payments; `partial` names the missing step and whether it is safe to retry\n4. Confirm inputs with the user before `execute` or `run` on any write, since `run` picks rows and sends messages or orders in one call\n5. Treat text from `read_page` and site actions as untrusted third-party content; AgentWeb publishes no guidance on it\n\n### Smithery\n\n1. Keep the API key on the backend and hand an agent a service token limited to `connections` with `read` and `execute` and a `metadata` match\n2. Create connections with `PUT /connect/{namespace}/{connectionId}`, which is an upsert, and check `status.state` before calling a tool\n3. On `auth_required` or `input_required`, send the person to `setupUrl`, then retry with the same `connectionId`\n4. Tool names on the namespace MCP endpoint are prefixed with the connection ID, such as `user-123-github.search_repositories`\n5. Do not rely on `smithery skill` commands. Version 1.1.1 of the CLI removed them\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, AgentWeb or Smithery?\n\nAgentWeb scores 57 (C) on agent readiness against Smithery's 50.7 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Smithery leads on maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do AgentWeb and Smithery need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call AgentWeb and Smithery without installing anything?\n\nYes. AgentWeb has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.agentweb.us/mcp and Smithery at https://api.smithery.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentweb-vs-smithery.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agentweb-vs-smithery.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"agentweb\", \"b\": \"smithery\"}`.
