## 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 mac-address-parser-macaddress-openverbs-com-3fb56576 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you parse the MAC address 00-1A-2B-3C-4D-5E and give me all the canonical formats — colon, hyphen, Cisco dot, bare hex — plus its integer value?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to normalize or canonicalize a MAC address from an unknown or mixed input notation into all standard forms, or when you need the integer value of a MAC address. Prefer this over the reformat endpoint when you don't know the target format ahead of time and want all representations at once.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed MAC address string returns a validation error
- Input too short or too long (outside 1-64 characters) rejected by schema
- Unsupported notation that doesn't match colon, hyphen, dot, or bare hex may fail to parse
- Empty address field triggers required field error

## How this service works

Parse a MAC / EUI-48 or EUI-64 address from any common notation (colon, hyphen, Cisco dot, or bare hex) and return it in every canonical form plus its integer value.

## Output

Returns the MAC address normalized into all standard notations: colon-separated (e.g. 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E), hyphen-separated (00-1A-2B-3C-4D-5E), Cisco dot notation (001A.2B3C.4D5E), bare hex (001A2B3C4D5E), plus the integer representation of the address.
