# Artificial Analysis — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your Artificial Analysis account and use 12 tools for developer tools straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. Artificial Analysis provides independent benchmarks and analysis of AI models and API providers, intelligence, coding and math indices, pricing, latency and throughput performance, plus arena rankings for image, video, speech and music models.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_artificial_analysis?ms=1787291160000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `artificial_analysis_list_image_editing_models`).

## Option B — via direct REST API
Base URL: `https://api.mcp.ai/api/artificial_analysis`
Auth: `Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…` — create a workspace API key at https://mcp.ai/settings/api-keys
Discover endpoints: `GET https://api.mcp.ai/api/artificial_analysis/_endpoints`
