Seventeen read-only tools: search, pitfalls, cards, related ideas, the evidence behind each card, repos, ideas from other fields, 3D assets, VFX docs and security advisories.

claude.ai and Claude Desktop

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http adtomic /mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and sign in. For CI or headless machines, create an API key on your account page:

claude mcp add --transport http adtomic /mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer adt_live_…"

Any HTTP client

curl -s /api/v1/perfmine_search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer adt_live_…" -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"faster JSON parsing","k":5}'

Agents without an account (x402)

MCP endpoint /x402/mcp: tools/list is free, each tools/call returns the price until it carries _meta["x402/payment"]. Over plain HTTP, /api/v1/{tool} answers 402 with a PAYMENT-REQUIRED header; retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE. USDC on Base, $0.01 per credit, settled only if the call succeeds.
