MCP support
Exposes `extract` and `extract_batch` tools through a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint. An `fnet_` key bypasses payment; without it, the server returns an x402 payment-required response.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

x402-gated web extraction gateway for AI agents. Fetch any page and get clean content back — text, markdown, or structured JSON. No API keys, no accounts.
Part of the FoundryNet Data Network. Pay-per-call in USDC (x402) or bypass with an fnet_ Forge key. Also exposed as an MCP server for Smithery/Glama/Claude.

Streamable HTTP endpoint: https://foundrynet-scrape-production.up.railway.app/mcp
claude mcp add --transport http foundrynet-scrape https://foundrynet-scrape-production.up.railway.app/mcp
Tools list without auth (discoverable). Pass an fnet_ key as api_key (or Authorization: Bearer) to bypass payment; otherwise the tool returns an x402 payment_required object.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
