How Per-vendor API keys typically works

How Syra is different

Machine money for agents: settle USDC on HTTP 402, discover routes via OpenAPI and MCP, no key sprawl for the agent runtime.

When Per-vendor API keys wins: Stable single-vendor production services with procurement already done.
When Syra wins: Autonomous agents and hackathon builds that cannot pause for vendor dashboards.

Honest note

Direct upstream accounts can be cheaper on a single route. Syra wins when the agent loop needs many tools with one USDC payer and no vendor onboarding. We do not claim to replace every enterprise contract.
