list_modelsList every LLM model available through true402's pay-per-call inference, with live per-token pricing (3% over provider cost, min $0.0001/request). Returns each model's id, provider, and input/output token prices across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Mistral and Together — so an agent can pick a model and know the exact cost before paying via x402 (USDC on Base, no account or API key).chatSend a chat completion request to an LLM via true402 (PAID x402 service, USDC on Base). Requires a funded wallet (WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY) on the MCP server.seo_auditAudit web pages for SEO + GEO (generative-engine optimization).
