Payments for MCPs Building the Future
summary
MC Pay enables per-call stablecoin payments for MCP servers using the X42 protocol and HTTP 402 so agents pay without subscriptions or API keys. It ships an SDK and dashboard for pricing, analytics and Coinbase server wallet onboarding; payments use signed messages to settle USDC (EIP-3009 style). MCP Build scaffolds monetized servers and auto-deploys to Vercel for rapid experiments. Roadmap includes zk receipts and dynamic pricing, and current components are live for testing with real payments.
