    "web-scraper": {
      "url": "https://web-scraper.api.klymax402.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Quickstart -- HTTP (x402)

curl "https://web-scraper.api.klymax402.com/api/scrape?url=https://example.com"
# -> 402 Payment Required, with an x402 payment challenge in the response body

Any x402-aware client (@x402/fetch, x402-agent-tools, ATXP) handles the 402 -> sign -> retry cycle automatically.

web_scrape_to_markdown

When to use: summarizing articles, building RAG corpora, researching topics from web sources, or extracting data from documentation pages. Essential for any workflow that needs to scrape and extract content from web pages as LLM input. Drop-in replacement for Firecrawl scrape.

When to use: building research corpora, comparing content across competitor pages, or bulk documentation extraction. Essential when you have 3+ URLs to process in one workflow.
