Ruff Python Lint API — pay-per-call for AI agents (MCP + x402)

Give any AI agent instant Python linting with ruff. No signup, no API key, no subscription: $0.005 USDC per call, paid automatically over x402 on Base.

• ⚡ Fast: ruff-powered, results in milliseconds
• 🔒 Safe: code is statically analyzed, never executed
• 🤖 Agent-native: MCP tool lint_python for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini/Antigravity and any MCP client
• 💸 Pay only for what you use; the facilitator covers gas, so your wallet only needs USDC
