https://skim402.com answered on 2026-09-23 (page title: "Skim — a clean URL-to-markdown reader for agents"). Source is public at JessieJanie/skim402 (MIT, 2★); created 2026-05-19, last pushed 2026-08-31. Documentation at https://skim402.com/docs answered on 2026-09-23. An MCP initialize handshake against https://skim402.com/mcp completed on 2026-09-23 and listed 3 tools. One unpaid request to https://skim402.com/api/v2/read answered HTTP 402 with a payment payload we could parse (network eip155:8453, asset 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913). No payment was sent: a 402 says the endpoint asked for money in a readable shape, not that paying works or that the seller delivers. The host serves an x402 capability manifest at /.well-known/x402. Listed from a maintainer submission; every field is self-reported except the checks above, which Sato Hub ran itself on 2026-09-23.

Live endpoint probed — we called the hosted MCP endpoint and it answered with its real tool inventory (proves the interface works, not runtime safety).

skim_read— 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,skim_extract— 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 yourseskim_signals— 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.

- Answers a call
- not asked — no tool is named as a read (list_/get_/search_)
Live probe verifies the interface responds — not what the tools do, their safety, or their output quality. The call is one read-only tool named by this server's own list (list_/get_/search_, no mutating verb anywhere in the name, no required arguments and none that look like a key, an address or an amount), asked once a day with no arguments. Not asked is not a failure.

This is the share of our daily checks that succeeded — not an availability guarantee. A check can fail because the host was down, because our runner timed out, or because the network in between dropped it, and only the first of those is a fact about this project. Failures are split by what we can attribute; anything we cannot attribute is counted, not hidden.
