## 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":"passportindex.org/get_passport_rank","input":{"country":"Japan","include_destinations":true}}'
```

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`.

## Ask your agent

- How strong is the Brazilian passport globally? I need its world ranking and mobility score.
- Pull up Passport Index data for JP — rank, mobility score, and how many countries are visa-free vs visa required.
- I hold an Indian passport. Can you list every destination and whether I need a visa, eVisa, or visa on arrival?
- What's the mobility score for a Nigerian passport, and how many places offer visa on arrival or eVisa?
- Check passportindex.org for the Canada passport: give me the global rank plus the full destination-by-destination visa breakdown.
