## Run it

From code, with a Fous API key in `FOUS_API_KEY`; the answer's `data` holds the output:

```bash
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"method":"cricbuzz.com/get_scorecard","input":{"team_1":"Australia","team_2":"South Africa","match_link":"https://www.cricbuzz.com/live-cricket-scores/147898/rsa-vs-aus-2nd-odi-australia-tour-of-south-africa-2026"}}'
```

From an AI agent connected to the Fous MCP server: its `run` with the same method and input. To connect one, give it `set up https://fous.com/SKILL.md`.
