Text Summarizer

What is Text Summarizer?

Text Summarizer compresses long-form text to a target length and format using Claude AI. It accepts plain text, Markdown, or JSON input and is part of the x402 micropayment task market. Designed for autonomous agents, document pipelines, and developers needing reliable, cheap per-call text compression without managing prompt engineering or model selection.

How to use Text Summarizer?

Two access modes: via MCP tools over SSE (connect any MCP-compatible client, billing through MCP‑Hive) or via REST with x402 micropayments ($0.005 USDC per call on Base mainnet). A free trial endpoint /v1/summarize/trial is available for prose-only summaries up to 4KB. Add the server URL to your MCP client config or use curl to the paid or trial endpoints with the required request fields.

FAQ from Text Summarizer

What makes Text Summarizer different from using Claude directly?

Text Summarizer handles prompt engineering, length control, and format selection automatically, charges a fixed per‑call fee ($0.005 USDC), and supports both MCP and REST access with no need to manage API keys.

What are the runtime requirements and dependencies?

Paid calls require a USDC balance on Base mainnet and an x402‑capable HTTP client. The trial endpoint has no payment requirement. MCP access requires an MCP‑compatible client (billing via MCP‑Hive).

Where does my data go during summarization?

Input text is sent to the service, processed by Claude Haiku 4‑5, and the summary is returned in the response. The README does not mention any data storage or retention beyond the single request.

What input size limits exist?

The paid endpoint accepts up to 100KB of input; the trial endpoint is limited to 4KB. The trial endpoint only supports the prose format.

What transports and authentication are supported?

MCP over SSE (no payment signature needed; billing handled by MCP‑Hive) and REST with x402 v2 (requires a PAYMENT‑SIGNATURE header after a 402 response). The free trial endpoint requires no authentication.
