Setup
Claude Desktop / Cursor
Add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json):
Standalone
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)
