Prepaid Tavily vs TAVILY_API_KEY for Claw search?

PraisonAI’s built-in Tavily web-search still wants TAVILY_API_KEY (README: required for Claw) so an agent can leave the machine.

I built apifare (formerly apipay) so that search hop sits on a prepaid MCP meter instead: one bearer token; governed proxy; no TAVILY_API_KEY in the agent env for those calls; caps + kill switch. Founding users get +1,500 credits on the first successful call.

Worth a look if a prepaid meter covers PraisonAI search instead of the next Tavily key?
