Server instructions

Frontera Signal sells construction data for the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, per call over x402: USDC on Base, no account or API key. These tools are free and read-only. Start with list_endpoints, read a real answer with get_sample, then use how_to_pay to check your parameters and get the exact URL and price. get_free_series returns the latest 4 weeks of each weekly series at no cost. Payment happens on the HTTP API with an x402 client, never through these tools.
