Use AIsa in Pi

Pi has a built-in MCP client. Add AIsa as a remote MCP server, authenticated with your AIsa API key, and Pi’s agent can discover and call AIsa capabilities — web research, finance, social, SEO, sales, and more. AIsa MCP endpoint:

https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

An AIsa API key (console.aisa.one/api-keys)
Pi installed, with built-in MCP support (pi mcp --help works)

1. Export your AIsa key

Pi reads the key from an environment variable, so it never lands in the config file. Add this to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:

export AISA_API_KEY="sk-aisa-..."

Open a new terminal, or source the file, before starting Pi.

2. Ask Pi to connect AIsa

Start pi and send:

Read https://aisa.one/llms.txt and help me connect to AIsa.

Pi reads AIsa’s agent-facing instructions and registers the AIsa MCP server globally, using your AISA_API_KEY.

Prefer to do it yourself? Run the same command Pi runs:

pi mcp add aisa \
  --url https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp \
  --bearer-token-env-var AISA_API_KEY \
  --description "AIsa capability layer: discover and call APIs across web, finance, social, SEO, sales, and more."

3. Verify and reload

Check the connection:

pi mcp list

You should see:

aisa: connected, 5 tools (codemode, global)
  https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp
  tools: list_categories, search, get_details, use, batch_use

If you added the server from inside a running Pi session, type /reload so the session picks up the new tools.

4. Use AIsa capabilities

Ask Pi for anything AIsa can fetch, for example:

Use AIsa to check the recent posts of Sam Altman.

Pi searches the AIsa catalog, reads the matching operation’s schema, then runs it and reports the cost. The five tools work as follows:

Tool	What it does	Billing
`list_categories`	Lists capability categories	Free
`search`	Finds operations by natural-language task	Free
`get_details`	Returns schema, pricing, and pitfalls for an operation	Free
`use`	Runs one operation, capped by `max_price_usd`	Billed
`batch_use`	Runs several operations, capped by `max_price_usd`	Billed

Quick reference

Item	Value
MCP URL	`https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp`
Auth	Bearer token from `AISA_API_KEY`
Add command	`pi mcp add aisa --url https://mcp.aisa.one/mcp --bearer-token-env-var AISA_API_KEY`
Global config	`~/.pi/agent/mcp.json`
Verify	`pi mcp list`
Load into a running session	`/reload`

Troubleshooting

Problem	Fix
`pi mcp list` shows an auth error (401)	Confirm `echo $AISA_API_KEY` prints your key in the shell that starts Pi, and the key is valid in the dashboard
AIsa tools missing in the current session	Type `/reload`, or start a new Pi session
`pi mcp` is not a command	Update Pi to a version with built-in MCP support
Want AIsa in one project only	Add the server to the project’s `.pi/mcp.json` instead of the global config
