Connect Currents API in Corsair
Add your Currents API API key once in Corsair. Corsair stores the credential encrypted and makes the Currents API API calls for your agent, so it never goes into a prompt or a config file. Connect Currents API

FAQ
Install corsair and @corsair-dev/currentsapi, add the Currents API plugin, and connect with an API key. Then call methods like corsair.currentsapi.api.categories.get() from your app. Corsair keeps each tenant isolated.
Yes. Currents API requires an API key from your Currents API account or developer dashboard. Create credentials with access that matches what you automate, then paste them into Corsair or connect through managed auth in Hub.
Yes. One Corsair client can hit Currents API, GitHub, Notion, Stripe, and the rest. Trigger Currents API from a webhook, push updates to Slack, or chain actions across plugins. Same tenant context across integrations, plain TypeScript.
Teams use Corsair for news api that returns latest news, searches articles, and lists the available categories, languages, and regions. Common builds include sync jobs, admin tooling, and agents that call Currents API APIs from your backend.
The SDK is open source. Self-host and you pay Corsair nothing for the integration layer. Hub bills for hosted auth and execution, not per Currents API API call. Hub has a generous free tier. For hobby projects you can probably run the whole thing on free. Paid plans start to matter with more tenants or heavier traffic.
We maintain @corsair-dev/currentsapi in the open repo. When Currents API ships API changes, upgrade the package. Your call sites stay typed. You should not need to rewrite the integration layer each time.
No. Corsair does not read your Currents API data or hold individual access credentials. Credentials stay in your database. API calls run on your instance. We do not store Currents API data on your behalf.
Yes. Add https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcp as a custom connector or MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex or any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in, then sign in to Corsair. On ChatGPT personal plans, custom servers currently get read tools only.
Yes. Put Currents API on a link in Strict mode and every write waits for your approval, while destructive actions are refused. Every Currents API operation only reads data, so there are no changes to approve today. You can change a link's mode at hub.corsair.dev/me.
