How It Works

  1. Claude/Cursor sees Pylon's tools via MCP
  2. User asks "take a screenshot of stripe.com"
  3. Claude calls pylon_screenshot with { "url": "https://stripe.com" }
  4. MCP server sends the request to Pylon's gateway
  5. Payment is handled automatically via x402 on Base
  6. Claude shows the screenshot to the user

No API keys. No accounts. No subscriptions. Just pay-per-request.
