Use okdata in WorkBuddy: add it to mcp.json

Connect it

1. Open the place MCP servers are added. 插件 (Plugins) in the sidebar → MCP 服务器 (MCP servers), top right → 配置 MCP (Configure MCP). This opens ~/.workbuddy/mcp.json (or .workbuddy/mcp.json in a project) for editing.
2. Paste the configuration. Replace the key placeholder with your own key.

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "okdata": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://api.okdata.online/mcp",
         "headers": {
           "Authorization": "Bearer okd_…"
         }
       }
     }
   }

3. Save; edits take effect at once. The dot beside the server turns green when it connects.
4. Ask it to list the tools. The reply should match the one below.

Check it works

“List the okdata tools.”

okdata is connected with 5 tools: find describe the data you need in words; get up to five capabilities with what they need, the price and a ready call. It never offers another platform in place of the one asked for; describe read the full contract of one to five capabilities: parameters, links taken, price and the most a call can cost, paging, fields and an example item; call fetch one page of data as text: the first lines say what it cost, the balance left and how to get the next page. Failed calls are free; max_price caps a call; read_more read the rest of an answer that was cut at about 20 KB, or the same result in another view, for 24 hours; account balance and the key’s spending limits, a receipt for one call, usage by day or capability; which capabilities are up, even without a key. Only call costs money. The catalog has 214 endpoints on 17 platforms.

None of this costs anything.

A first conversation

“What is on Weibo hot search right now?”

2 tool calls · 1 charged · $0.002

Then try: “Use okdata to list the newest articles of this WeChat Official Account.”

Tips for WorkBuddy

• Let the free tools run without asking. Allow find, describe and account; keep call on “ask” if you want to approve every charge.
• Ask for the cost first. “Tell me what this will cost before you call anything” works in every client.
• Give each client its own key. Create one per app in the console; revoking it then touches nothing else.
• Retries are safe. A resent call with the same idempotency_key is never charged twice, and failed calls are free.

What to know about WorkBuddy

• WorkBuddy's own guide shows only local servers. The remote form above (type, url, headers) is the one its sister tool CodeBuddy documents; if the dot stays red, tell us and check the WorkBuddy changelog.
• Never commit a project mcp.json with your key in it.
