Setup
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pylon": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pylonapi/mcp"]
}
}
}Standalone
npx @pylonapi/mcpThe server communicates via stdio using the MCP protocol. Capabilities are auto-discovered from the Pylon gateway at startup.
How It Works
- Your AI agent calls a Pylon tool (e.g.
web_scrape) - The MCP server routes the request to
api.pylonapi.com/do - Payment is handled automatically via x402 (USDC on Base)
- 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.
