⚡ Pylon MCP Server

Give Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client access to 20+ capabilities — screenshots, web scraping, PDF generation, search, and more. No API keys. Pay per request via x402 micropayments on Base.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

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

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:

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

Run directly

npx @pylonapi/mcp

How It Works

  1. Claude/Cursor sees Pylon's tools via MCP
  2. User asks "take a screenshot of stripe.com"
  3. Claude calls pylon_screenshot with { "url": "https://stripe.com" }
  4. MCP server sends the request to Pylon's gateway
  5. Payment is handled automatically via x402 on Base
  6. Claude shows the screenshot to the user

No API keys. No accounts. No subscriptions. Just pay-per-request.
