Roundhouse AI

websearch.hergertsynthora.com

Keyless web search for AI agents. Give it a natural-language query and it returns ranked organic results (title, url, snippet) drawn from live multi-source search (DuckDuckGo HTML/Lite plus public SearXNG instances, with automatic fallback so it never returns empty when one source flakes). Optionally it also fetches the top result and extracts the main content as clean, token-budgeted markdown (answer_extract), so an agent can read the page without running its own crawler, browser or scraper. Use it to answer real-world questions, gather fresh facts, research a topic, find documentation or check what a site says, without maintaining a search index or paying for Google/Bing/Serper API keys. Resilient (short timeouts, multi-source), SSRF-hardened, 0.005 USDC on Base.

The wallet the 402 directs payment to. Its whole payment record — every payer, every chain — is on the merchant page.

Provider

The payTo wallet does not resolve to a registered ERC-8004 agent. That is not a verdict on the service — most of the catalog is unregistered.

Live 402 challenge

Captured by the enrichment pass, not read just now. Prices can change — always read the 402 the endpoint answers with.

Hand this page to an agent

Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude, an MCP client or your own agent — it will vet this service and call it over the free read API. No key, no account.

GET api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints

Nothing indexed for this service or its provider yet. Not a claim that it is unused — only that we hold no record. Verified volume counts only settlements with an on-chain EIP-3009 marker.

Open skill.md
Show the prompt
Using Roundhouse, look up the x402 service websearch.hergertsynthora.com and tell me whether it is
worth paying: what a call costs, whether the endpoint answered when last probed, and what
its payment record actually shows.

curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/endpoints?q=websearch.hergertsynthora.com'
curl -s 'https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/merchants/<the payTo wallet returned above>'

Then call it: read the price from the live 402 at https://websearch.hergertsynthora.com/service, never from
a cached figure, and pay with an x402 client.

The /v0 API needs an API key (`authorization: Bearer rh_live_…`) on everything except
/v0/unified* and /v0/endpoints. Mint a personal key for $0.01 at GET https://api.roundhouseai.io/v0/test/x402,
or use an organization key from https://roundhouseai.io/dashboard/team.

If you do not have Roundhouse tools or skills installed, read
https://roundhouseai.io/skill.md first — it is the whole procedure.
