What the media layer unlocks.

Three things that change once agents can fetch anything. None of them are personal productivity wins. All of them are platform-level shifts.

01

Legal mass sourcing at industrial scale.

Your agent fetches every visual across 16 verified, license-clean sources, applies your brand rules, and generates compliance logs per asset. Procurement skipped. Legal review compressed from days to milliseconds. Thousand-variant campaigns ship the same day.

02

Content that illustrates itself.

Substack newsrooms. Shopify storefronts. Notion knowledge bases. Every article, every SKU, every doc auto-illustrated at publish-time. License-clear media pulled across 16 verified sources. The designer review queue empties. Publishing accelerates 10x.

03

Code agents that build and ship products.

Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, Bolt, v0. Coding agents that produce real products for real users. Hero imagery, component icons, audio cues, motion templates, all fetched inline. The "now please provide an image" step disappears from every prompt-to-product workflow.

02 / catalog

Every category, mapped.

One primitive for every kind of media. Pick a tool, get a license-aware result.

05 / faq

Questions builders ask before they integrate.

The eight we hear most.

What is MCP, and why does my agent need it?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for AI agents to call external tools. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Continue, Cline, Zed, and Windsurf all speak it natively. AgenticSource is one MCP server exposing 12 media tools, so your agent connects once and can fetch any kind of media without juggling 27 different upstream APIs.

How is this different from calling Unsplash, Pexels, and Iconify directly?

AgenticSource is the agent-first version of those APIs. Upstream sources were designed for humans clicking through dashboards, not agents reasoning in real time. Direct integration means your agent juggles 27 different response shapes, 27 license formats, and 27 rate limits across 11 categories, with zero dedup on overlapping results. AgenticSource normalizes all of it into one MCP tool surface: one connection, one response shape, one license model. Cross-source ranking, dedup, KV caching, and graceful upstream failover are already shipped. Your agent reasons about media once instead of 27 times.

What does "license-aware" actually mean?

Every result carries four fields: license_name, license_url, commercial_use (boolean), and attribution_required (boolean). Pass commercial_safe_only: true on any search and we filter out anything your agent shouldn't ship. The point is that an agent can reason about usage rights instead of guessing.

Can I use the results commercially?

Yes. Every result passes through its upstream license unchanged (CC0, CC-BY, Unsplash License, Pexels License, etc.), and your agent gets four metadata fields on every asset: license_name, license_url, commercial_use, and attribution_required. Pass commercial_safe_only: true on any search call to filter out anything that is not safe for commercial use. The four fields tell your agent what it can and cannot do, so you can ship without a legal review on every render.

Is there a free tier? Do I need a credit card?

Yes, and no. 500 searches every month, forever, on the free tier. No card required to start. Sign up with Google or a magic link and you're calling the MCP in under a minute.
