Jentic Mini

Give your AI agents safe access to 10,000+ APIs

Jentic Mini launched on March 26, 2026 with 297 votes, #89 of 23,380 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Jentic Mini is a self-hosted, open-source API execution layer that enables AI agents to safely access over 10,000 APIs. It sits between agents and external services, handling API selection, credential injection at runtime, and request brokering so that secrets never reach the agent itself. The tool eliminates the need for hardcoded authentication, secret management in prompts, and custom integration code for each service. It is designed for developers building AI agents that need secure access to real-world APIs.

From the sources

Building agents that call real APIs is painful. You end up hardcoding auth, juggling secrets in prompts, and writing glue code for every service. Jentic Mini is a self-hosted, open-source API execution layer that sits between your agent and the outside world. Your agent says what it wants to do. Jentic Mini finds the right API from a catalog of 10,000+, injects credentials at runtime, and brokers the request. Secrets never touch the agent.

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents: your agent calls any API you need, you set the rules, and it never sees your credentials.

    The stack: two agents on separate boxes. The public one (nullclaw) is a 678 KB Zig binary using ~1 MB RAM, connected to an Ergo IRC server. Visitors talk to it via a gamja web client embedded in my site. The private one (ironclaw) handles email and scheduling, reachable only over Tailscale via Google's A2A protocol. Tiered inference: Haiku 4.5 for conversation (sub-second, cheap), Sonnet 4.6 for tool use (only when needed). Hard cap at $2/day. A2A passthrough: the private-side agent borrows the gateway's own inference pipeline, so there's one API key and one billing relationship…

    Every second thing I build needs to access the web, and I was frustrated with not finding something that just works all the time. With my team, we built this because I wanted to enable access to extremely difficult websites and apps for every AI agent. We have solved this cat-and-mouse problem with self-healing built in. It's one API to get data from hostile sites, and it can do easy sites too. You POST a URL and get back Markdown, JSON, HTML, a screenshot, or all of them. That same call handles anti-bot, proxy rotation, JS rendering, persistent authenticated sessions, and schema-based…

  • API AI Readiness ScorecardJun 2026 · github.com · ▲21

    We previously open-sourced a rubric for assessing APIs for agent-readiness (carefully designed by some colleagues who are deeply involved with the OpenAPI initiative). We hosted a nice web app for scoring an API according to this rubric (a mix of deterministic and LLM-based assessment), and learned people were hacking it into their CI/CD pipelines for regression testing and longitudinal tracking. So we just released a nice CLI to make that easier, with a decent free tier.

    Enterprises need ~90% accuracy to deploy web agents. Until now, no agent has come close on real-world tasks. TinyFish is the first production-ready web agent. Here's the evidence. Results of hard task scores on Online-Mind2Web (300 tasks, 136 live websites, human-correlated judge): - TinyFish: 81.9% - OpenAI Operator: 43.2% - Claude Computer Use: 32.4% - Browser Use: 8.1% Why not WebVoyager like everyone else? Because it's broken. Easy tasks, Google Search shortcuts, and a judge that agrees with humans only 62% of the time. Browser Use self-reported 89% on WebVoyager — then scored 8.1% on…
