Paid MCP Metering

The two tools occupy clearly different tiers of research: deep_research synthesizes multi-source results while web_search returns raw ranked results. Though related, the difference in output quality and purpose makes misselection unlikely.

Both names use lowercase with underscores and follow a noun_noun pattern (deep_research, web_search). The pattern is internally consistent, though neither uses a verb_noun convention.

Two tools is a minimal but reasonable surface for a focused metered research server. It earns its place by covering both quick lookup and deeper synthesis without unnecessary bloat.

The server covers the two core research workflows, but as a metering-focused server it lacks obvious management or account-aware operations (e.g., balance checks, payment status). This is workable for simple use but leaves gaps for more complex interactions.
