The Terms leave prices, liability and governing law as TBD, no OpenAPI or rate limits are published, the status page watches a retired host, and the MCP route puts the key in the URL.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Galileo API + MCP\n\n1. Check which side the account lives on first. Pre-August Galileo accounts use api.galileo.ai, Splunk SaaS accounts use app.{realm}.observability.splunkcloud.com/ao/api/\n2. Send the key as `Splunk-AO-API-Key`. The current spec no longer lists `Galileo-API-Key`\n3. Page list endpoints with `limit` and `starting_token`\n4. Use the error catalogue's retriable flag to decide whether to retry. 429s carry no documented `Retry-After`\n5. Use the REST API to read traces. The MCP server mostly creates datasets and prompts\n\n### Navige\n\n1. Send the Navige key in `x-navige-key` on the proxy. `Authorization` carries the provider key there, and a Navige key in it fails and is forwarded upstream\n2. Act only on `allow` or `approved` from `/enforce`. Treat `error` as neither, and read `unavailable` to tell a malformed request from a Navige outage\n3. Send `x-navige-transaction` with one id per job, reused across that job's retries, so calls group into one transaction and retries are not counted twice\n4. On a 429 from the proxy, check for a blocking budget before retrying. Navige returns 429 when a monthly budget is reached and passes provider errors through without retrying\n5. Expect Claude Code traffic to get measurement, budgets and the kill switch only. Context trimming, routing, the output ceiling and prompt caching are switched off for it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Galileo API + MCP or Navige?\n\nGalileo API + MCP scores 47.7 (D) on agent readiness against Navige's 42.8 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Navige leads on reliability, security \u0026 auth and payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Galileo API + MCP and Navige need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Galileo API + MCP and Navige without installing anything?\n\nYes. Galileo API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://api.galileo.ai/v2 and Navige at https://api.navige.ai.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/galileo-vs-navige.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/galileo-vs-navige.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"galileo\", \"b\": \"navige\"}`.
