Included with every paid plan

MCP server access is included with your RQE plan — it is an entitlement of your subscription, not a separate purchase, and it is never billed per call. Every plan is a hard monthly cap: when you reach your allowance the API returns a clear 429 response, usage resets at the start of your next monthly cycle, and no overage is ever charged automatically. Upgrade or downgrade any time from your billing portal; monthly and annual billing carry identical monthly allowances.

Sandbox Mode

Sandbox requests return realistic mock data using the Binary³ demo dataset. Sandbox responses follow the exact same schema as live production responses, so your integration code works without modification when you upgrade.

Sandbox data is not derived from real domain scans. No PII or real infrastructure data is required to test.

To switch from sandbox to live data, upgrade to any paid plan and replace your sandbox API key with your production key.

What Counts Against My Allowance?

Standard API Call

1 request

Each call to the /score endpoint counts as 1 REST request.

PDF Report Generation

2 requests

Generating a branded PDF via /report/pdf counts as 2 REST requests.

Short rate windows also apply per plan. If you exceed one, the API returns a 429 response with an accurate Retry-After header — wait and retry; nothing is billed. Monthly exhaustion returns 429 with your reset date and an upgrade flag.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a card for the Sandbox? ▼

No. Sandbox is free forever and requires no credit card — sign up and start with 25 REST requests, 25 MCP calls, and 3 MicroDefend scans per month.

Is overage billed automatically? ▼

No — never. Every plan is a hard monthly cap. When you reach your allowance, requests are denied with a clear 429 response until your next monthly cycle starts. You will never receive a surprise charge from the RQE API or MCP usage.

Is MCP access a separate subscription? ▼

No. MCP server access is included as an entitlement of your RQE plan, with its own monthly tool-call allowance. There is no standalone MCP charge.

How does annual billing work? ▼

Annual plans charge once per year at a 15% discount and carry the same monthly allowances as monthly plans — your usage still resets every month, not once per year.

Can I scan any domain? ▼

Production scanning requires verifying ownership or control of each target domain from your developer portal. Sandbox targets need no verification.

How do I change or cancel my plan? ▼

Manage your subscription any time from the billing portal in your developer dashboard. Cancellation keeps your account and data; paid access ends at the close of the paid period and your account reverts to the free Sandbox allowances.
