## Rules for an agent

- Send `Authorization: Bearer $CONTEXT_DEV_API_KEY` to https://api.context.dev/v1 (e.g. POST /v1/web/scrape with formats {markdown: true}); SDKs: `context.dev` on npm, PyPI and RubyGems, `context-go-sdk` (Go), `context-dev/context-dev-php`; the hosted MCP server uses OAuth. Do not use the deprecated brand.dev domain or @brand-dev packages.
- Keep the API key server-side; it is a bearer token that spends credits
- You are responsible for rights in scraped third-party content; the service grants no licence to it
- Use context.dev package names, not the deprecated brand.dev ones
