## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability freetier-agent-api-mcp-server-directory-search-15b9cd3f
```

Example prompt: Find me MCP servers in the Databases category that run locally and are written in Python — show me up to 10 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to discover or search MCP servers by category, language, or deployment scope from a curated directory of 4,259 entries. Prefer this over manual GitHub search or other MCP indexes when you need structured, filterable results with source citations and no signup required, paying only $0.02 USDC per call via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid scope enum value returns an error or empty results
- No results found for a very specific query combination
- Payment not received — endpoint returns HTTP 402 requiring USDC payment on Base
- Query string too broad returns too many results if limit not set
- Network timeout on Cloudflare Pages edge
