Add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http pesttreatment https://pesttreatment.fyi/mcpAdd it to a client that reads an mcpServers file, such as Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)
{
"mcpServers": {
"pesttreatment": {
"url": "https://pesttreatment.fyi/mcp"
}
}
}List the tools with curl
curl -X POST "https://pesttreatment.fyi/mcp" -H "content-type: application/json" -H "accept: application/json, text/event-stream" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'Responses
A successful response has data and meta. A list response also has page, with these fields:
limit- : items on each page.
total- : items that match.
nextCursor- : send it back as
cursor, with the same filters andlimit. It is null on the last page. capped- : true when more items match than the cursor can reach.
fuzzy- : true when the items are close matches for
q.
An error has error (a sentence), code and sometimes details. Branch on code: invalid_parameter, invalid_cursor, not_found, method_not_allowed, rate_limited, internal_error, unavailable.
Rate limits and caching
Each client may send 300 requests in 60 seconds. Every GET response has RateLimit-Limit and RateLimit-Policy. Over the limit you get 429 with Retry-After: wait that many seconds. The limit is counted at each Cloudflare location.
A successful response sends Cache-Control: public, max-age=60, s-maxage=300, stale-while-revalidate=600 and an ETag. Send the ETag back as If-None-Match to get 304 with no body.
Credit and licenses
Show this credit line next to the data you display:
Data from Pest Treatment (https://pesttreatment.fyi). Each record keeps the license of its source, listed in meta.sources. A listing is a record, not an endorsement.
Every response lists its sources in meta.sources. Keep a source's license when you reuse its records.
