# dad-jokes-agent-production.up.railway.app

dad-jokes-agent-production.up.railway.app is a narrow, single-purpose joke delivery service targeting agents or users who want dad-style humor on demand. It supports optional category filtering (e.g., parenting, animals, food) but offers no other customization. Payment is required per request via USDC on Base.

## When to use this host

Use this host when an agent needs a dad joke in JSON format, optionally filtered by a known category such as parenting, animals, or food. Do not use it for other humor formats (puns, one-liners in non-dad style, dark humor, etc.), for jokes in non-English languages, or for any scenario requiring length, tone, or audience customization — those parameters are not supported. If the agent needs a broader joke library, multi-format humor, or free access without per-request micropayments, a different host or a public joke API would be more appropriate.
