How to call it

The same tool through each route. MCP clients reach it through Strale’s server at https://api.strale.io/mcp; the call below is what the agent sends.

# Needs an API key. max_price_cents caps what this call may cost.
curl -X POST https://api.strale.io/v1/do \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STRALE_API_KEY" \

Limitations

Converted code can need manual adjustment
AI-powered code conversion — language-specific idioms, standard library differences, and edge cases may require manual adjustment
What to do instead: Run the converted code through the target language's linter and test suite before using in production
