## Description
Pay-per-call web search and clean-text page fetching for AI agents via x402 (USDC on Base). No API key or subscription.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **search_web** — Search the web and return titles, URLs, and snippets.
- **fetch_url** — Fetch a public http(s) URL and return its main text content as plain text.

## What IOConnex Web Search does

IOConnex Web Search gives AI agents two web-oriented capabilities: searching the web and fetching page content as clean text. It is intended for search and data extraction workflows where an agent needs to find relevant pages, then obtain readable content from those pages for further processing.

The service uses a pay-per-call model. Each request is paid for with USDC on Base through x402, so usage is tied to individual calls rather than a recurring subscription or an API-key arrangement.

## How it works

An MCP-compatible agent connects to IOConnex Web Search and invokes its web search or page-fetching capability. Search helps locate relevant online information; clean-text fetching turns a selected page into text that an agent can use in a subsequent task.

Payment is handled through x402, with USDC on the Base network. The service is therefore suited to agents that can participate in this payment flow and maintain access to the required cryptocurrency network and funds. Calls are billed individually instead of through a prepaid subscription.

## Tools and capabilities

- Web search for discovering relevant online pages.
- Clean-text page fetching for extracting readable content from web pages.
- Per-call payment using USDC on Base through x402.
- Access without an API key or subscription.

## Limitations and notes

IOConnex Web Search is focused on web discovery and page-content retrieval. It does not represent a general-purpose browser, database, or site-specific integration. The pay-per-call design also means that using it requires handling USDC on Base through x402, rather than supplying a conventional API credential.

The lack of an API key and subscription can simplify credential management, but payment remains part of the request flow. Consider this server when usage-based payments fit the agent architecture; choose a different service if the workflow requires a fixed subscription, key-based billing, or capabilities beyond web search and clean-text fetching.
