## Example call

Request headers and body:

```http
POST /mcp HTTP/1.1
Host: gateway.mcpharbor.dev
Authorization: Bearer <your gateway API key>
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json, text/event-stream
MCP-Protocol-Version: 2026-07-28
Mcp-Method: tools/call
Mcp-Name: europepmc__paper_figures
```

```json
{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "_meta": {
      "io.modelcontextprotocol/clientCapabilities": {},
      "io.modelcontextprotocol/clientInfo": {
        "name": "example-agent",
        "version": "1.0.0"
      },
      "io.modelcontextprotocol/protocolVersion": "2026-07-28"
    },
    "arguments": {
      "doi": "example"
    },
    "name": "europepmc__paper_figures"
  }
}
```

A successful response:

```json
{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": {
    "_meta": {
      "dev.mcpharbor.gateway/call": {
        "chargedMicroUsd": 100,
        "id": "<the id of this charge>"
      }
    },
    "content": [
      {
        "text": "<whatever the upstream tool returned>",
        "type": "text"
      }
    ],
    "resultType": "complete"
  }
}
```

This call costs $0.0001 (100 micro-USD). Reading this page and listing the tool cost nothing.
The `dev.mcpharbor.gateway/call` record in the result is the receipt for that charge. Each
POST is metered separately, so sending the same call again buys another one: see
[agent.txt](https://gateway.mcpharbor.dev/agent.txt), section 7, before retrying.

## Attribution

This provider asks for no attribution. Their terms still apply: see the table above.
