# Patchwell

> Pay-per-call tools for developers and AI agents, with results that explain themselves: transcription with word
> timings, data cleaning with a per-value change log, and research answers where every claim cites its source.
> HTTP API and MCP server. Prepaid credit; empty results and refusals are free. Research never looks up people.
