What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 10, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• process_json

  Optional per-query x402 payment costs 0.005 native USDC on Base: tools/call params._meta["com.thejqapi/payment"]={mode:"query",idempotency_key:"fresh UUID"}; add signed _meta["x402/payment"] on retry. Keep the identical arguments and key. Active passes never incur this charge. Pa

  Store one JSON document in private temporary storage for repeated process_json queries; this does not run a jq filter. Use when the same input will be queried more than once. For a single query, pass input or url directly to process_json instead. Provide exactly one of input or u

• delete_upload

  Permanently delete only the JSON upload identified by upload_id; other uploads, filters, modules, and quota records are unaffected. Use after the final process_json query or when early removal is needed. Use get_upload to inspect availability first if uncertain; do not delete whi

• purchase_access

  Purchase or resume a prepaid access pass for the UUID configured in the MCP client Authorization header. The fixed price is 2 USDC for 30 days of unlimited jq queries and zero application query logs; each renewal is a separate purchase after expiration. Use only when paid access
