## What it does

The server can render pages and capture screenshots, extract page content, parse feeds and PDF text, resolve links, and inspect DNS, SSL, and WHOIS. Its catalog contains 18 capabilities, including `render`, `extract`, `feed`, `domain`, and `qr`.

Connect over HTTP as an MCP server, then let the agent discover available operations through the capability catalog. Calls beyond the free daily allowance are paid in USDC through x402 on Base. That means paid requests require an agent wallet; calls within the free allowance do not.
