One access token grants full access to the workspace, no approval step before sending or buying was found in the reviewed docs, and no status page, rate limit or SLA is published.

## Facts

- Kind: HTTP API · vendor: Zo Computer Company · category: Personal assistants · legal entity: Zo Computer Company · provenance 73/100
- Endpoint: `https://api.zo.computer/mcp` (HTTP)
- Auth: API key · pricing: Freemium · x402: no · licence: Proprietary service under Zo Computer Company's terms of service
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Surface graded: The hosted service, read as a hosted product through its public API and MCP endpoint at api.zo.computer, from the vendor's docs, OpenAPI file, pricing, terms, privacy policy, security page and changelog on 12 October 2026. No account was created and nothing was sent to the API or the MCP endpoint, so the MCP tool definitions were not read.
- What it does without asking: No approval step before sending, posting, paying or deleting was found in the reviewed docs. Automations run unattended with the same access as chat. The control documented is persona permissions, which remove tools from a conversation. The guide says Zo confirms before saving a new automation (https://www.zo.computer/guide/automations; https://www.zo.computer/guide/personas).
- Accounts and credentials: Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive, Sheets and Tasks, Outlook, OneDrive, Notion, Linear, Airtable, Dropbox, Spotify, X, Stripe and GitHub, plus the Pipedream catalogue. The security page says Pipedream facilitates the connection. OAuth scopes requested for each app and where the tokens are stored are not stated on the pages read. Browser sign-ins persist as cookies in Zo's Chromium browser.
- Memory: The pricing page lists Improved memory on paid plans and not on the Free Trial. The API's `memory_mode` field (enabled or off) controls workspace memory for a request. The security page states an aim to store memories and search indexes on the user's personal server. No page describing what is remembered, or how one memory is deleted, was found.
- Deletion: Settings > Advanced has Delete Account, which the help centre says erases the account, the computer and everything on it, and Factory reset, which clears the workspace and keeps the account (https://support.zocomputer.com/article/how-do-i-delete-my-account). The privacy policy gives no retention period.
- Where it runs: On the vendor's cloud. The Zo application runs on a per-user server hosted with Modal or Daytona, and the Zo agent and internal services run on Modal and Cloudflare. Prompts, file snippets and conversation history go to the selected model provider. A user's own API key or a Codex or Claude Code subscription can be used instead of Zo-billed models.
- Channels: Web app, desktop app, SMS and MMS, email, Slack, Discord and Telegram. SMS is carried by Telnyx with a stated 10-day message retention and email by Postmark with a stated 45-day retention of addresses and headers.
- Monthly cost: Basic $18 with $10 of AI credit, Pro $64 with $40, Ultra $200 with $100. Free Trial lasts 14 days, after which ordinary computer access ends and files stay retrievable. Automations spend AI credit the same way chat does.
- Access by vendor staff: The help centre says staff do not look at personal data day to day and may access a workspace when that is needed to fix a problem (https://support.zocomputer.com/article/understanding-data-access-and-privacy-in-our-services-1uvvgwhcoohzycggeo87z0us).
- Advisories and incidents: None found. The vendor publishes no advisory list, incident history or status page on the pages read, and the zocomputer GitHub organisation's repositories were not searched for advisories.
- Prices: Basic plan $18 per month (plan); Pro plan $64 per month (plan); Ultra plan $200 per month (plan)

- Scores: Reliability 15, Performance pending, Schema & documentation 73, Agent ergonomics 34, Security & auth 37, Payments & pricing 40, Task success pending, Maintenance & community 68, Transparency & trust 60 · total over the 7 assessed categories
- Why: Reliability, Read with the hosted lines. · Schema & documentation, Graded on the HTTP API, with the MCP endpoint's tool definitions unread because listing them needs a token. · Agent ergonomics, The HTTP API is four operations, and `output_format` takes a JSON Schema so a caller can size the answer. · Security & auth, One bearer token created in Settings, which both guides say grants full access to the workspace, and with it the shell, every connected acco… · Payments & pricing, No x402, MPP or L402 (0). · Maintenance & community, The newest dated changelog entry is the week of 14 September 2026, 28 days before this check, followed by a September summary. · Transparency & trust, Closed source with public terms.

## Before you call it

1. Send `POST https://api.zo.computer/zo/ask` with `Authorization: Bearer zo_sk_...` and an `input` string. The owner creates the token under Settings > Advanced
2. Pass `persona_id` for a persona with a narrow tool set. The token itself carries every permission the owner has
3. Set `memory_mode` to `off` to keep workspace memory out of a request. The field is in the OpenAPI file and absent from the API guide
4. Do not retry `/zo/ask` blindly after a timeout. No idempotency key is documented and the request may already have sent a message
5. Append `.md` to any guide or reference URL for Markdown

## Connect

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.zo.computer/zo/ask \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zo_sk_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": "Hello, Zo!"}'
```

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http zo https://api.zo.computer/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer zo_sk_your_key_here"
```
