The normal setup is `YDC_API_KEY` bearer auth or OAuth login. x402-aware clients can receive upstream payment challenges and retry search or contents calls through MCP with payment headers. Before using this skill, check the MCP tools available in the current agent environment: - If `you-search`, `you-contents`, and `you-research` are available, use them directly. - If the server or required tools are missing, tell the user which capability is missing, provide the server URL and auth options from the prerequisites above, and request approval before installing, connecting, or changing MCP configuration. - Do not invent MCP commands for the host.
