How It Works

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

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

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
`PYLON_GATEWAY_URL`	`https://api.pylonapi.com`	Gateway URL (override for self-hosted)
