API keys need the $37 Pro plan, the trial needs a card, the key can travel in the URL, and self-serve content may be used to train Gumloop's models.\n\n**Paragon ActionKit + MCP.** Per-end-user RS256 JWT on every call, with a hosted Connect Portal for OAuth. No published prices and no self-serve paid plan.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Gumloop\n\n1. Send the key as `Authorization: Bearer` and, for a personal key, add the `x-auth-key` header with the user ID. Do not put `api_key` in the URL\n2. Create sessions with `POST /agents/{agent_id}/sessions`, then poll `GET /sessions/{session_id}`. A 202 means processing or queued, and the reply is not in the response\n3. Supply your own `session_id` when creating a session. A repeat returns 409, which makes a retry safe\n4. For streamed output send the same body with `stream: true` to `ws.gumloop.com`. `api.gumloop.com` answers 400 to it\n5. Treat a webhook trigger URL as a password. It returns `{\"success\": true}` at once and never carries the agent's output\n\n### Paragon ActionKit + MCP\n\n1. Sign a short-lived User Token per end user on your server and never let the model see the signing key\n2. Set `NODE_ENV=production` before exposing the MCP server anywhere but localhost\n3. Fetch the tool list once per session with `categories` set, and cache it\n4. Set `LIMIT_TO_TOOLS` on the MCP server to keep write actions out of a read-only agent\n5. Proxy API requests count as tasks, so prefer ActionKit tools for routine actions\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Gumloop or Paragon ActionKit + MCP?\n\nGumloop scores 61.6 (C) on agent readiness against Paragon ActionKit + MCP's 47.5 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Paragon ActionKit + MCP leads on security \u0026 auth and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Gumloop and Paragon ActionKit + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Gumloop and Paragon ActionKit + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes.
