Bundle micropayments save 92% vs. paying per-API to 16 different vendors.

    }
  }

Raw JSON-RPC

tools/list:

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):

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":{
        "free": true,
        "queries":[

          {"type":"news-hn-top"}
        ]
      }

  }' | jq

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.
