Overview

What is Data Formatter?

Data Formatter converts CSV, XML, or Markdown input into JSON or HTML output using Claude AI. Part of the x402 micropayment task market, it offers a paid endpoint ($0.005 USDC per call on Base mainnet) and a free trial endpoint with 32KB input limit. Designed for MCP-compatible agents and Claude Desktop.

How to use Data Formatter?

Install via Smithery or connect directly to the SSE endpoint (https://project-formatter-production.up.railway.app/sse) for the MCP tool format_data. Alternatively, send HTTP POST requests to /v1/format (paid, requires x402 payment header) or /v1/format/trial (free). Specify input, from_format, and to_format parameters; optionally add validate=true on the paid endpoint.

FAQ from Data Formatter

What does Data Formatter do that alternatives don't?

Data Formatter uses Claude AI for intelligent conversion and optionally validates the structural integrity of the output, all on a pay‑per‑call basis.

What are the runtime or payment requirements?

Paid calls require a valid x402 payment header with $0.005 USDC on Base mainnet (contract 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913). The free trial endpoint needs no payment.

Where does my data go during conversion?

Input data is sent to the live service at https://project-formatter-production.up.railway.app and is processed server‑side. The README does not specify data retention or privacy guarantees.

What transports and authentication are available?

The server supports HTTP REST (paid: /v1/format with x402 payment header; trial: /v1/format/trial) and MCP SSE transport (/sse). The paid endpoint requires cryptographic payment authentication; the trial endpoint has no auth.

Are there any known limits?

The free trial endpoint is limited to 32KB input and does not support the ?validate=true parameter. The paid endpoint has no documented input size limit in the README.
