## 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":"kraken.com/get_coin_price","input":{"coin":"Bitcoin"}}'
```

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`.

- Show me ETH's live price in euros, plus its 24h high and low.
- How much is Solana trading for in GBP right now, and how has it changed since midnight UTC?
- Get the bid and ask spread for Cardano quoted in CAD on kraken.com.
