    No: the server works without sign-in

    Context-efficient microtools for AI agents. 33 tools total. Flagship fetch_extract: 98.1% median token reduction (53,820 → 2,001 tokens) — saves ~$0.156/call at Sonnet pricing vs loading raw HTML.

    Paid tools: web extraction, full-page screenshots, background removal (fal.ai rembg), keyword research (DataForSEO), PDF text extract, HTML-to-Markdown, page asset/link inventory, temporary file upload.

    20 always-free utility tools: UUID, hash, Base64, URL encode/decode, JSON format/query, timestamps, text stats, regex extract, CSV/JSON query, RSS/sitemap parse, and more.

    Pricing: $0.02 USDC on Base via x402 (EIP-3009), or $0.01 prepaid (deposit ≥$0.50 USDC, off-chain debit, no per-call gas). First call free per wallet on most tools.

    Includes pay-proxy: local stdio bridge that auto-signs x402 challenges — any MCP client gains payment capability without code changes or API keys.

    Requires a local install: run the server on your machine, then point your client at it.

    How to connect

    How to connect ToolSnap MCP to Claude

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    This server runs locally: it is wired up through the client config, and the project documentation carries the steps.

    How to connect ToolSnap MCP to ChatGPT

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.
