Connects Claude or any MCP client to Skim's clean reader API via a single read_url tool that strips ads and boilerplate from any URL and returns agent-ready Markdown with structured metadata. Each call costs $0.002 in USDC on Base, paid automatically through HTTP 402 using an EIP-3009 transfer authorization signed by a local wallet. No API keys, no signup. You configure it by dropping a Base wallet private key into your MCP config, funding the wallet with a dollar or two of USDC, and letting your agent fetch web content without manual copy-paste or dealing with paywalls and clutter. Latency is around two seconds including on-chain settlement.
