How It Works
- Claude/Cursor sees Pylon's tools via MCP
- User asks "take a screenshot of stripe.com"
- Claude calls
pylon_screenshotwith{ "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.
