How ToolForte works.
ToolForte is a set of small, exact tools: validate an IBAN, calculate VAT, format JSON, generate test data. You can use them in your browser, call them from your own code, or hand them to an AI assistant. This is the guide to all of it, written for people who are not developers, with the developer detail kept on its own page.
What ToolForte is
A tool here does one thing and gives you an answer you can rely on. There are 341 tools you can open in your browser. 23 of those same jobs are also reachable by software over the REST API, and 23 through the MCP server that AI assistants connect to.
The split matters for what you pay. A tool that runs on your own device is free and unmetered, and your data never leaves the browser. Anything that runs on our servers - a REST API call, an MCP tool call, one of the AI tools, a PDF or screenshot render - costs credits, because it costs us something to serve.
A free account comes with 1,000 credits a month, which is 1,000 API or MCP tool calls, or 100 AI generations, or 40 renders, or any mix. Credits and plans explains the rest.
The three ways to use it
Same tools, three doors. Most people only ever need the first one.
Open a tool and use it
Open a tool and use it. No account, nothing to install. Almost all of them do their work on your own device, so your files and text never reach us and there is nothing to meter.
Browse the toolsCall it from your own code
The same checks and conversions as an HTTP endpoint, so a script or a back office system can use them. You create an API key on your account page and send it with every request.
API and MCPGive an AI assistant exact answers
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client to ToolForte and it stops guessing at arithmetic. The model asks, the server calculates, and the answer is the same one you would get in the browser.
Set up the MCP serverWhat sits on top: workflows and the advisor
One tool answers one question. A job usually needs two or three of them in a row, and that is what a workflow is for.
A workflow is an ordered list of up to 12 steps, where each step can use what an earlier step produced. You build one by picking capabilities from a list, or you describe the job in a sentence and let the AI advisor propose one. Either way you can test it before you save it, and run it afterwards from the site, from your own code, or from an AI assistant that is connected to your account.
Pick a capability, wire its inputs to a fixed value, to something you type when you run it, or to the output of an earlier step.
How workflows workWrite what you want done. The advisor builds a workflow out of real ToolForte capabilities, or tells you plainly that this job is not one we can do.
