## The Hook

Scry gives agents MCP and SQL/program access to public-record corpora — query the indexed dataset instead of scraping pages one by one.

## What's Good

Hosted freemium research surface. MCP lives at mcp.scry.io, with SQL and programmatic query paths over public-record corpora. The free path starts with $5 credit and no card; queries often land at $0 under the slack, with an x402 USDC lane for machine-native payment. Useful when the corpus matters more than another page-fetch wrapper.

## The Catch

Researcher is non-commercial; Team starts from $2k. This is a hosted data product, not an OSS dump you can fork and self-host. Vs Firecrawl / Crawl4AI / Context7: Scry is indexed corpus + SQL, not page fetch, crawl, or documentation packing. Check corpus coverage, freshness, and commercial terms before treating a query as evidence.

## Verdict

Freemium public-record research API. MCP+SQL over an indexed corpus; not Firecrawl, Crawl4AI, or an OSS database.
