## Quickstart
### Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client
```jsonc
{
"mcpServers": {
"datafood": {
"transport": "http",
"url": "https://toughlovesec.win/mcp"
}
}
}
```
### Raw JSON-RPC
**`tools/list`:**
```bash
curl -s -X POST https://toughlovesec.win/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' | jq
```
**`tools/call` (free preview):**
```bash
curl -s -X POST https://toughlovesec.win/mcp \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call",
"params":{
"name":"datafood_bundle",
"arguments":{

## Payment paths
DataFood supports two agent-native payment methods:
1. **x402** — pay-per-call via the `X-Payment` HTTP header (HTTP 402 challenge/response).
2. **Stripe Checkout** — pass `session_id` from a `/api/checkout/*` flow into `datafood_bundle`. Day/week passes auto-unlock.
Free 1-row preview (up to 5 bundle items) requires **no auth**.

## Cost comparison (real numbers)
A typical agent fetching 10 data types per task:
| Method | Cost / call | Vendors to manage |
|---|---|---|
| 10 individual APIs (Alchemy, Etherscan, OpenWeather, NewsAPI, …) | ~$0.06 | 10 |
| **DataFood `datafood_bundle` (10 queries)** | **$0.005** | **1** |
**~92% cheaper, one auth surface, one invoice.**
