PayGate MCP — Monetization Gateway for AI Agents tools (6)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsget_earningsFreeReport how much the user has earned selling their tools. Use when they ask about sales, revenue, income, how much they made, how many calls were paid, or which tool sells best. Returns paid calls, gross revenue, commission and net revenue, broken down per tool. Requires the api_key from register_server.
get_my_listingFreeReview what the user currently has for sale. Use when they ask what they are selling, what their prices are, where their money goes, or want to check their listing before changing it. Returns the proxy URL, payout destination, commission rate and every listed tool with its price. Requires the api_key from register_server.
list_registered_serversFreeFind a paid tool that does something you cannot do yourself. Use when the user needs a capability you lack and is willing to pay per use, or asks what paid tools, APIs or data sources are available. Returns every tool on the market with its price per call in USD and the endpoint to call it. Browsing is free and needs no key.
register_serverFreeStart charging for an MCP server the user owns. Use when they want to monetize, sell, charge for, get paid for, put a price on, or make money from a server, API or tool. Buyers pay their wallet DIRECTLY on-chain — PayGate never holds the money, so there is no payout to wait for, no balance to withdraw and no commission taken. Their server is never modified and needs no payment code. Tools are imported automatically, so it must be publicly reachable over HTTPS and answer tools/list. Returns a proxy URL and a secret api_key shown only once; save it, every other seller tool needs it.
set_tool_priceFreeReprice or unlist something the user already sells. Use when they want to raise, lower or change a price, make a tool free, pause selling it, or take it off the market. Requires the api_key from register_server.
verify_ownershipFreeProve the user owns the server they listed, earning a trusted badge in the marketplace. Use after they have published their verification token at /.well-known/paygate-verify on the server's domain. PayGate fetches that URL and confirms the token matches. Verified sellers can be filtered for by buyers, so this directly increases how often their tools get chosen. Requires the api_key from register_server.

What the publisher says
From the PayGate MCP — Monetization Gateway for AI Agents repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
PayGate MCP
Monetization gateway for Model Context Protocol servers. Put any MCP server behind a pay-per-call toll that AI agents can settle autonomously — no signup, no API keys, no human in the loop.
Live endpoint: https://paygate-mcp.rendercriativo.workers.dev/mcp
What it does
An agent calls a tool. If the tool is monetized, PayGate answers with an x402 v2 payment challenge instead of the result. The agent signs a USDC transfer authorization, retries, and gets its answer. Settlement happens on Base; the developer never touches payment code.
agent ──tools/call──▶ PayGate ──▶ 402 challenge (price, asset, payTo)
agent ──signed payload──▶ PayGate ──verify──▶ facilitator
PayGate ──▶ developer's MCP server ──▶ result
PayGate ──settle──▶ facilitator ──▶ USDC on Base
agent ◀── result + settlement receiptPayment is verified before the tool runs and settled after it returns. If the tool fails or returns an error, nothing is charged.
For agents
Discovery is free. Ask PayGate what is for sale:
curl -X POST https://paygate-mcp.rendercriativo.workers.dev/mcp \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
"params":{"name":"list_registered_servers","arguments":{}}}'Calling a monetized tool without payment returns a spec-compliant challenge — a tool result with isError: true whose structuredContent holds the PaymentRequired object:
{
"x402Version": 2,
"error": "Payment required: calculate_fator_r custa $0.02 USDC.",
"resource": { "url": "mcp://tool/calculate_fator_r", "mimeType": "application/json" },
"accepts": [{
"scheme": "exact",
"network": "eip155:8453",
"amount": "20000", // 6-decimal USDC units
"asset": "0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913",
"payTo": "0x82e3...999e",
"maxTimeoutSeconds": 120,
"extra": { "name": "USD Coin", "version": "2" } // EIP-712 domain
}]
}Sign an EIP-3009 TransferWithAuthorization using exactly the domain in extra, then retry the call with the payment attached under params.meta["x402/payment"]. The settlement receipt comes back in meta["x402/payment-response"].
The USDC EIP-712 domain name is "USD Coin" on Base mainnet and "USDC" on Base Sepolia. Using the wrong one makes every signature fail verification.
A working reference client is in scripts/pay-test.mjs:
PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node scripts/pay-test.mjsThe paying wallet needs USDC on Base — but no ETH: gas is covered by the facilitator.
Both x402 transports are supported. HTTP clients can use the base64 PAYMENT-REQUIRED / PAYMENT-SIGNATURE / PAYMENT-RESPONSE headers instead of the MCP _meta binding.
For sellers
The whole seller lifecycle is exposed as MCP tools, so an agent can run it end to end — tell your assistant to monetize your server and it can do everything below on its own:
