Howth Technology Factory
Seven tools. One family. Zero bloat.

Focused tools for people — and the agents working for them.

A small, sharp set of utilities that each do one job well. Use them from a browser in seconds, or call them directly from an AI agent's workflow — same tool, same result.

Built for humans and AI agents

Click a button, or call it from code. Same tool, either way.

Every tool here runs as an Apify Actor — which means it's also a remote MCP server. An AI agent can call it directly inside a conversation, with the same typed inputs and outputs a person gets in the browser. No separate "API mode" to configure.

  • One atomic action per call, typed inputs and outputs
  • Works with Claude, Cursor and any MCP-compatible client
  • Pay-per-event pricing — an agent only spends on results it actually gets
# Any tool's MCP endpoint follows the same shape

Every tool does one job, and does it properly — no bloated dashboards, no half-finished features.

Speed

Built compute-light from the ground up, so results come back in seconds, not minutes.

Deterministic where it matters — the same input produces the same output, every time.
