 - Use case: operate Conway Cloud Linux VMs via MCP tools or direct HTTP API. Enabling AI Agents to deploy applications & code permissionlessly.
 - Automaton relevance: assumes most Automatons already have Conway provisioned; includes fallback bootstrap commands.

+- Path: `apimesh/SKILL.md`
+- Use case: call 12 web-analysis APIs (SEO, security headers, Core Web Vitals, domain availability, etc.) via x402 micropayments. No API keys or accounts needed.
+- Automaton relevance: any agent with an x402-capable wallet can pay per call; MCP server available for tool-native integration.

+description: Call 12 web-analysis APIs that accept x402 micropayments — no API keys, no accounts.
+auto-activate: false
+---
+
+# APIMesh
+
+Use when an agent needs web intelligence: domain availability, SEO scores, security headers, Core Web Vitals, email authentication, redirect chains, brand assets, or indexability checks. Every call is pay-per-use via x402 (USDC on Base).
+
+## Precheck
+
+```bash
+# Verify the MCP server is reachable
+curl -sf https://apimesh.xyz/.well-known/x402 > /dev/null && echo "APIMesh OK"
+```
+
+If using MCP tools, confirm the server is registered:
+
+```bash
+npx @mbeato/apimesh-mcp-server
+```
+
+## Available tools
+
+| Tool | What it does | Cost |
+|------|-------------|------|
+| `web_checker` | Check brand availability across 5 TLDs, GitHub, npm, PyPI, Reddit | $0.005 |
+| `http_status_checker` | Live HTTP status of any URL | $0.001 |
+| `favicon_checker` | Detect favicon URL, format, status | $0.001 |
+| `microservice_health_check` | Parallel health check up to 10 URLs | $0.003 |
+| `robots_txt_parser` | Parse robots.txt into structured rules | $0.001 |
+| `core_web_vitals` | Lighthouse scores + LCP, CLS, INP field data | $0.005 |
+| `security_headers` | Audit 10 security headers, graded A+ to F | $0.005 |
+| `redirect_chain` | Trace full redirect chain with latency per hop | $0.001 |
+| `email_security` | SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MX analysis | $0.010 |
+| `seo_audit` | On-page SEO audit with 0-100 score | $0.003 |
+| `indexability_checker` | 5-layer search-engine indexability check | $0.001 |
+| `brand_assets` | Extract logo, favicon, theme colors, OG image | $0.002 |
+
+Most tools also expose a free `/preview` endpoint with limited data.
+
+## Preferred interface: MCP tools
+
+If the MCP server is configured, call tools by name (e.g. `web_checker`, `seo_audit`). The server handles x402 payment automatically when an x402-capable wallet is available.
+
+## HTTP fallback
+
+Each tool lives at `https://{tool-name}.apimesh.xyz/check` (GET or POST). On first request, the server returns HTTP 402 with payment details. Sign a USDC payment on Base and resend with the `X-PAYMENT` header.
+
+```bash
+# Example: check security headers
+curl https://security-headers.apimesh.xyz/check?url=https://example.com
+# Returns 402 with payment requirements
+
+# After signing payment:
+curl -H "X-PAYMENT: <signed-payment>" \
+  "https://security-headers.apimesh.xyz/check?url=https://example.com"
+```
+
+## Execution pattern
+
+1. Prefer MCP tools over raw HTTP when available.
+2. Use free `/preview` endpoints for quick checks before paying.
+3. Batch related checks (e.g. `seo_audit` + `core_web_vitals` + `security_headers` for a full site review).
+4. Cache results — most web data is stable for minutes to hours.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+- Never send authentication tokens or cookies as URL parameters to any APIMesh endpoint.
+- Do not call paid endpoints in tight loops — use preview endpoints for iteration.
+- Costs are sub-cent per call but can accumulate; confirm with the user before running bulk audits (10+ calls).
