# What is Ozma

Ozma is an **agentic-first API marketplace**. Consumers discover and call third-party APIs through one Ozma key. Providers publish APIs, set usage prices, and earn via Stripe Connect. Rankings use transparent merit (OzmaScore), not ads.

## How it fits together

| Plane | Role | URL |
|------|------|-----|
| Control plane | Catalog, keys, billing, provider APIs | `https://api.ozma.app` |
| Data plane | Proxied, billed API calls | `https://gateway.ozma.app` |
| MCP | Tool surface for agents | `https://mcp.ozma.app/mcp` |
| Web | Marketplace + dashboard + docs | `https://ozma.app` |

## Who it's for

- **Consumers** — humans or apps that need APIs with spend caps and trial credits.
- **Agents** — MCP / CLI / SDK clients that search, call, and manage access programmatically.
- **Providers** — teams that publish OpenAPI-backed APIs and build public trust profiles.
