## Facts

- Kind: HTTP API · vendor: Tray.ai · category: Workflow automation · legal entity: Tray.ai, Inc. · provenance 71/100
- Endpoint: `https://api.tray.io/core/v1` (HTTP, Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth or key · pricing: Paid · x402: no · licence: proprietary
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Free tier: None. Free trial on request, length not stated
- Plan for the API: Pro, Team and Enterprise all list full API access and Tray Headless (vendor pricing page)
- Auth and scopes: Org master token or per-end-user user token as a bearer. End-user auths are stored in Tray and referenced by ID
- Per-user authorisation: Auth-only dialogue or imported credentials per end user. Agent Gateway dynamic authentication runs MCP tools with the caller's own credentials
- Action coverage: 700+ connectors (vendor claim), plus connector operations callable one by one
- MCP server: Hosted Tray Headless MCP (US, EU, APAC), OAuth2, full read and write. Agent Gateway MCP servers expose chosen workflows and connector operations as tools (add-on)
- Webhooks: Trigger subscriptions deliver events to your endpoint without rate limiting
- Retries and logs: Workflow execution logs, and MCP tool runs appear in the Monitor tab (vendor docs)
- Rate limits: 30 requests a second or 1,800 a minute, bursts to 50. Call-connector is concurrency-limited instead
- Open source: No. Hosted, with on-prem agents for private networks

## Before you call it

1. Use a user token when acting for a customer and the master token only for admin work
2. Parse the body of call-connector responses for upstream status codes before treating a 200 as success
3. Point Headless MCP at the workspace's region, api.eu1.tray.io or api.ap1.tray.io outside the US
4. Pick the workspace at OAuth sign-in. Headless MCP binds it to the session and takes no workspace ID
5. Ask before any Headless MCP delete. The server won't

## Connect

```bash
curl https://api.tray.io/core/v1/connectors -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRAY_MASTER_TOKEN"
```

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http tray https://api.tray.io/mcp
```
