Create a free Apizie key, then send POST https://www.apizie.tech/v1/dev-tools:microsoft-cognitiveservices-computer-vision/analyze-image with the header x-api-key. Every endpoint returns { project, data, timestamp }. ### Is the Computer Vision Client API free on Apizie? Yes. The Free plan includes 1,000 requests a month at 100 requests a minute, no credit card. Computer Vision Client itself also needs your own key from microsoft.com. ### Can AI agents use the Computer Vision Client API? Yes. Add the Apizie MCP server (https://www.apizie.tech/mcp) to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code, then ask in plain language. The agent calls run_scraper with project key dev-tools:microsoft-cognitiveservices-computer-vision. ### What is the status of the Computer Vision Client API? Needs your own provider key (bring your own key)
