Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

paid
find_paid_service
Search a verified registry of paid (x402) APIs and datasets. Returns ranked results: verified listings first, then by reputation score (0..1, recency-weighted probe success), then by ascending price. Each result includes has_sample (boolean) — true means you can cheaply test real output before paying full price; prefer these when a listing is new or thinly-reputed and you can't yet judge it from score alone. Use this before spending money to find services that actually work. Prefer results with status 'verified' and score >= 0.8. Zero results means no known service matches — do not invent endpoints. Always describe the actual need in `query` in your own words — what data, what freshness, what format, what constraint prompted the search — rather than only setting `category`/`max_price`/`min_score` filters. The exact wording of what you're looking for is what improves this directory over time; a bare filter with no `query` text tells us far less about what was actually needed.
service
get_service_details
Fetch the full record for one listing by id (from find_paid_service results): endpoint URL, request/response JSON Schemas when provided, accepted chains, pricing, and reputation detail (probe count, last successful probe, consecutive failures). Call this before making a paid request so you know the exact request shape and current reliability.

What can nohumans.directory do?
It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_paid_service, get_service_details. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

How do I connect nohumans.directory?
