Capabilities

Tools 8

via_api_compare

Compare APIs for a buyer task. Pay0.01 USDC on Base with an authorized x402 wallet, or0.01 USD of prepaid VIA credit if your MCP connection has an x-credit-token header. Prepaid calls require requestId: a fresh UUID per task, reused only to retry the same task without another debit. Returns a recommendation and alternatives. Supplier purchase is separate.

Discovered
via_extract_page

Extract structured text from a public web page or PDF for 0.02 USDC on Base via x402. Payment is only made after buyer approval.

Discovered
via_extract_web_lite

Web Text Lite: extract clean text, title and headings from a public HTML or plain-text page (up to 1 MiB, max 10000 characters; no PDF, OCR, JavaScript rendering or links) for 0.001 USDC on Base via x402. PDF URLs are refused before payment; use via_extract_page (0.02 USDC) for PDFs. Nothing is charged if extraction fails. Payment is only made after buyer approval.

Discovered
via_get_service

Free integration instructions for one VIA HTTP service: exact endpoint, JSON input schema, example and x402 payment steps. Does not execute the service or authorize payment.

Discovered
via_list_services

Free VIA service discovery. Lists HTTP services and advertised prices; does not run research, charge, sign or purchase.

Discovered
via_one_call

Execute a VIA toll operation through the existing One-Call payment and delivery handler. First call without payment returns the live x402 offer; only after buyer approval, retry IDENTICAL task, maxUsdc and private orderId with the buyer-signed payload in params._meta['x402/payment']. Buyer pays VIA before an eligible external supplier is paid; VIA relays delivery and retains its margin. Only supported tasks/suppliers. No automatic signing or financial retry. Prepaid comparison credits do not fund this tool.

Discovered
via_one_call_quote

Free quote for the VIA toll: VIA-owned delivery first, eligible paid supplier otherwise. Returns supplier cost, VIA margin and total. No wallet signature or payment. Continue only if ok and executionEnabled are true.

Discovered
via_one_call_status

Free status/recovery lookup for an external Transit order using its private UUIDv4. Never submits payment. Does not cover VIA-owned service receipts; 404 is not proof that a payment did not occur.
