# Akiflow: L1 · Needs a person As of 15 Oct 2026, an AI agent can't use Akiflow on its own: reCAPTCHA image puzzle on registration. Source: https://agentdrives.com/tools/akiflow?via=md · driven 15 Oct 2026 by AgentDrives's agent · Same level in 2 drives in a row · Rules of 15 Oct 2026 (https://agentdrives.com/method/rules?via=md) · license CC BY 4.0 L1 · Needs a person describes Akiflow today: nothing gets an agent past the front door on its own. Registration answers with a hidden reCAPTCHA puzzle and the signup button hangs on Signing up..., so our agent stopped there first. The emailed login code worked, but with no account the official MCP server only answers 401 Unauthorized - No JWT provided, and no work was reached. There is no API key route, no free plan, and the trial needs a card at checkout, which the stuck registration never let our agent see. _Written and checked by our agents from this drive's record. How we write: https://agentdrives.com/method?via=md#notes_ L1 · Needs a person: There is an API, CLI or MCP server, but an agent can't get in on its own: a person has to sign up, verify or make the key. What it does once a person sets it up shows next to the level. - Find: Some docs for agents (llms.txt and an MCP server) - Access: Can't sign up - Use: Work not reached - Pay: Payment not reached - Leave: Leaving not reached - Next: let an agent sign up on its own - With an account set up by a person: not measured yet. - robots.txt asks crawlers to stay off sign-up and the API. Nothing to fix. It keeps these pages out of search and doesn't stop agents signing up. ## Level history - 5 Oct 2026: L1 · Needs a person - 15 Oct 2026: L1 · Needs a person ## Part scores - Agent-ready setup: llms.txt found, OpenAPI not found, MCP server found, CLI not found - Not measured in this drive: Holds up, Docs match ## Who gets in - Agents on a server: Turned away when they send the sign-up form. - Signed agents: Not checked: its robots.txt asks crawlers to stay off the sign-up page. - Agents in a person's browser: Not measured yet. Sign-up page checked 15 Oct 2026. Signed agents: the ones Cloudflare verifies. ## Ways in - Email and code: Stopped by a CAPTCHA - Continue with Google: Not tried: no account yet - Sign-in for apps (OAuth, MCP): Stopped by the consent page needs an account - Continue with Microsoft: Not tried: no account yet - Continue with Apple: Not tried: no account yet ## The docs All 18 pages read. Some gaps. - A getting-started page - No page on auth - No page on errors - No code examples - Newest page updated 14 Oct 2026 - A page for 8 of 10 core tasks ## Checkpoints - **Docs**: Headless: llms.txt, help center and the MCP help article; no API reference, auth or error docs. - **Sign up**: Needs a human: reCAPTCHA v2 answers the registration submit with an image puzzle (multicaptcha) that the page keeps hidden; the button hangs on Signing up... - **Verify**: In a browser: The 6-character code mailed to our inbox arrived in 25 s and was accepted, leading to Complete registration. - **Key**: Not reached: No API key route; the only credential is MCP OAuth consent, which needs an account. - **First call**: Not reached: MCP answers 401 Unauthorized - No JWT provided without a token. - **First action**: Not reached: Not reached: no account. - **Pay**: Not reached: No 402, x402/MPP or registry listing. Pricing: a 7-day trial, a card is required, no free plan. The checkout comes after registration, which the reCAPTCHA puzzle stopped; Stripe.js loads on the register page. - **Cancel**: Not reached: Nothing started. Help center: Billing > Manage Subscription in the web app; deleting the account cancels the subscription. - **Delete**: Not reached: No account was created (a second login ended at Complete registration again). Docs: delete is web-only, Settings > Account > Manage Account. The DCR OAuth client stays registered. ## Does Akiflow have an MCP server, and can an agent connect to it? Yes. Akiflow has an official MCP server. A new agent can't get in on its own: in the drive of 15 Oct 2026, our agent stopped at sign up (it needs a person). Through the MCP server, 0 of our agent's 4 attempts worked. ## How does an AI agent get an Akiflow API key? Akiflow has no API, so there is no API key to get. No API key route; the only credential is MCP OAuth consent, which needs an account. ## Paying the agent way Payment not reached. The checkout: The checkout wasn't reached: Pro, $34 a month; Checkout: a checkout; A visible CAPTCHA at checkout. Its trial asks for a card. What would let agents pay on their own: - Accept x402 or MPP on your API: Answer an unpaid call with 402 and a payment challenge, so an agent pays per call or buys credits without an account or a card. - List your plans on Stripe Projects: Agents buy a plan with `stripe projects add`, paid with a token under a spend cap the owner sets (projects.dev). - Let a trial start without a card: An agent can try the product before anyone hands it a card; take the card when it buys. - Let a verified agent finish your checkout: Show signed agents no visible CAPTCHA at checkout, accept virtual and prepaid cards, and don't ask for a phone number to pay. Ways to pay checked 15 Oct 2026. ## What an agent can do - Read Akiflow's docs and pricing, also as Markdown via Accept: text/markdown - Register an OAuth client for the MCP server by DCR ## What it cannot do - Create an account: reCAPTCHA image puzzle at registration - Use any task, event or time-slot capability: behind the sign-up wall; MCP needs an account's OAuth token - Start the trial: card required and the checkout is behind registration ## Tips for the owner 1. Let signed agents register without a puzzle 2. Fix the hidden reCAPTCHA challenge 3. Support CIMD and pre-auth server/discover 4. Offer a trial without a card 5.
