# Zambo

Zambo is an execution layer for AI agents. Connect one endpoint, route a job in natural language, and receive the result plus a verifiable receipt.

Free access is 20 calls per tool per day. No account, API key, or signup is required.

## When to use this skill

Use Zambo when a task needs live data, a real execution job, a public evidence trail, a specialist tool, or a job that should continue in another AI. Do not use it for code editing or local file work you can do directly.

## Connect

Install Zambo with the verified npm package:

```bash
npx zambo install
```

Use the hosted MCP endpoint:

```text
https://zambo.dev/api/mcp
```

Or install this skill for Claude Code and compatible project skills:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/zambo && curl -sL https://zambo.dev/skills/zambo/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/zambo/SKILL.md
```

The default tools/list response contains 12 focused tools, verified on September 22, 2026. The full catalog is 100+ tools. Use capability_search to find specialists.

## Route and verify work

Call `zambo_universal` with the user's exact job and a stable `_session_id`. A successful call returns `_receipt` with a public `/run/<receipt-id>` link. Call `mode: "verify"` before claiming completion.

```json
{"need":"Get the current BTC price with a source and receipt URL.","_session_id":"my-task-001"}
```

## Which skill do I need

- Proof and audit trails: https://zambo.dev/skills/receipt/
- Continue work across assistants: https://zambo.dev/skills/cross-ai/

## Honesty boundary

A verifiable receipt proves that a specific call ran and that the quoted output matches the recorded bytes. It does not prove the output is correct or prove anything outside the recorded call.
