Setup

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pylon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pylonapi/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Standalone

npx @pylonapi/mcp

The server communicates via stdio using the MCP protocol. Capabilities are auto-discovered from the Pylon gateway at startup.

How It Works

  1. Your AI agent calls a Pylon tool (e.g. web_scrape)
  2. The MCP server routes the request to api.pylonapi.com/do
  3. Payment is handled automatically via x402 (USDC on Base)
  4. Results are returned to your agent

No API keys to manage. No billing dashboards. No rate limit negotiations. The x402 protocol handles authentication via payment — if you can pay, you can call.

x402 Payments

All requests are paid via the x402 protocol — HTTP-native micropayments on Base (L2). Each call costs fractions of a cent in USDC.

Live on Base Mainnet.
