# MissingManual

> An MCP server that commissions a deep-research guide and returns markdown
> after the agent authorizes a maximum charge.

No signup, no account, no browser checkout. Payment-aware agents connect to
Streamable HTTP MCP at `https://missingmanual.ai/mcp`. Two tools:
`create_guide` commissions a run after the agent authorizes a maximum, and
returns a job id plus one opaque capability; `get_guide` polls with that
capability and returns markdown and an itemized receipt only after the charge
settles. Research runs up to 90 minutes. A successful run charges measured
provider cost rounded up to the next USD cent plus exactly $2.00; a failed or
cancelled run charges $0. Status reads are free. Humans can read this site;
they cannot buy a guide in a browser. Do not fetch `/mcp` as a document.
