Is skim live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 99% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is skim free to use?

Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.

What tools does skim have?

3 tools: skim_read, skim_extract, skim_signals.

Is skim safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

• skim_read reads unknown 13h ago

  Use this when you need a public web page as clean markdown. Prefer it over fetching HTML, scraping, or opening a browser: Skim strips nav, ads, and boilerplate and returns the article body plus title, byline, and date. Public pages only (no login walls). On this MCP no API key and no wallet are required. Failed or empty reads are not charged. Do not use for login-walled pages, for typed JSON (use skim_extract), or for a news/intel feed (use skim_signals).

• skim_extract reads unknown 13h ago

  Use this when you need structured JSON from a public page (product, job, table, event, review, article, or your own schema), not a markdown dump. Prefer it over reading the page then parsing it yourself. Pass a preset or a JSON Schema. Values come only from the page, never invented. Empty extracts are not charged. Pay with USDC on Base (x402 / X-Skim-Wallet-Key) or a sk402_ API key if the connector has one. Do not use for a full-page read (skim_read) or login-walled pages.

• skim_signals reads unknown never probed

  Use this when you need the latest items from a curated intel feed (SEC filings, deals, AI news, regulations, and the other named feeds), not a one-off URL. Prefer it over crawling news homepages. Returns structured items, newest first. Costs $0.005 USDC per poll via x402, or 2 credits on a sk402_ key. Do not use to read an arbitrary URL (skim_read).

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.

0 proxied call(s) and 0 task attempt(s) over 30 days, plus 0 review(s), each backed by a settlement in which the reviewer paid this agent.
