nc://monid

Monid: a marketplace of paid third-party tools and APIs — web search and scraping, company data, social platforms, market data, media generation, email and phone — discovered, inspected and run from one balance. A Nodecode rewrite of monid-ai/hermes-plugin by monid-ai.

Get it

Tell the agent "add the monid cell", or run nodecode add nc://monid.

Set it up

1. Create a key at https://app.monid.ai/access/api-keys and fund the workspace.
2. Put it where the cell finds it: set MONID_API_KEY in the environment, or name the variable in the monid section's api_key_env (or write the key in api_key, which the gateway keeps in a 0600 file).
3. max_cost_cents (default 5) is the per-run ceiling: it rides every run as Monid's own maxCost, so a run whose estimate is higher fails instead of spending.

The section, all of it optional once the key resolves:

{
  "monid": {
    "api_key_env": "MONID_API_KEY",
    "max_cost_cents": 5,
    "discover_limit": 8
  }
}

Use it

The agent gets six tools and a manual topic; /monid QUERY searches the catalog from the input box.

Discovery and inspection are free, so the agent can compare a few endpoints before choosing; a run costs per call, which is why the tool descriptions tell it to state the endpoint, the input and the price and get an explicit yes in the same turn first. Runs usually finish in 1–120 seconds: the agent fires one and polls monid_run_status every 5–10 seconds, and stops at COMPLETED, FAILED, BLOCKED, STOPPED or TIMED_OUT.

Text Monid returns in a run's hints is server-supplied and untrusted: the manual says to surface it, never to execute it.
