MCP Billing Gateway

Glama MCP Server

Fügen Sie Stripe-Abonnements, Credits pro Aufruf und x402-Krypto-Zahlungen zu jedem MCP-Server hinzu — ohne Abrechnungscode schreiben zu müssen.

MCP Billing Gateway ist ein gehosteter Abrechnungs-Proxy, der zwischen KI-Agenten und Ihrem MCP-Server sitzt. Er übernimmt automatisch die Zahlungsüberprüfung, Nutzungsverfolgung und die Durchsetzung von Tarifen. Sie registrieren Ihren Server, legen einen Preisplan fest und verweisen Aufrufer auf die Proxy-URL. Kein Abrechnungscode erforderlich.

Live-Service: https://mcp-billing-gateway-production.up.railway.app

Installation

pip install mcp-billing-gateway

Oder mit uvx:

uvx mcp-billing-gateway

Konfiguration für Claude Desktop

Hinzufügen zu ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) oder %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-billing-gateway": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-billing-gateway"]
    }
  }
}

Konfiguration für Cursor

Hinzufügen zu .cursor/mcp.json in Ihrem Projekt:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-billing-gateway": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-billing-gateway"]
    }
  }
}

Starten Sie Ihren Editor nach dem Hinzufügen der Konfiguration neu, um den MCP-Server zu aktivieren.

Beschreibung

get_billing_info

Gibt Service-Fähigkeiten, unterstützte Zahlungsmethoden, Funktionen und Integrationsdokumente zurück

Der lokale MCP-Server bietet Service-Discovery. Die vollständige Abrechnungsfunktionalität läuft auf dem gehosteten Gateway — registrieren Sie sich als Betreiber und leiten Sie Ihre MCP-Server darüber weiter.

Funktionsweise

AI Agent → MCP Billing Gateway → Your MCP Server
            (billing enforced here)
  1. Registrieren Sie sich als Betreiber und erhalten Sie einen API-Schlüssel

  2. Registrieren Sie Ihre MCP-Server-URL + Preisplan

  3. Verweisen Sie Aufrufer auf Ihren Proxy-Slug: https://mcp-billing-gateway-production.up.railway.app/proxy/{your-slug}/mcp

  4. Aufrufer zahlen via Stripe-API-Schlüssel oder x402 USDC — die Abrechnung erfolgt transparent

Funktionen

  • Abrechnung pro Aufruf — berechnen Sie Aufrufern jeden Tool-Aufruf (Fiat oder Krypto)

  • Abonnements — monatliche/jährliche Stripe-Pläne mit Aufruflimits

  • Gestaffelte Preise — kostenloser Tarif + kostenpflichtige Tarife basierend auf der Nutzung

  • x402-Mikrozahlungen — akzeptieren Sie USDC auf Base von KI-Agenten ohne API-Schlüssel

  • Betreiber-Dashboard — verfolgen Sie Umsatz, Nutzung und Aufrufer in Echtzeit

  • MCP-Transport — vollständiger Streamable HTTP MCP-Transport am /mcp/-Endpunkt

Schnellstart

1. Als Betreiber registrieren

curl -X POST https://mcp-billing-gateway-production.up.railway.app/api/v1/operator/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email": "you@example.com", "name": "Your Name"}'

Antwort:

{
  "operator_id": "op_abc123",
  "api_key": "bg_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "message": "Operator registered successfully"
}

2. Ihren MCP-Server registrieren

curl -X POST https://mcp-billing-gateway-production.up.railway.app/api/v1/servers \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer bg_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "My MCP Server",
    "upstream_url": "https://your-mcp-server.com/mcp",
    "proxy_slug": "my-server"
  }'

3. Einen Preisplan erstellen

curl -X POST https://mcp-billing-gateway-production.up.railway.app/api/v1/servers/{server_id}/plans \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer bg_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Pay as you go",
    "billing_model": "per_call",
    "price_per_call_usd_micro": 10000,
    "free_calls_per_month": 100
  }'

4. Aufrufer mit Ihrem Proxy-Server verbinden

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "url": "https://mcp-billing-gateway-production.up.railway.app/proxy/my-server/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer CALLER_API_KEY"
      }
    }

Das Gateway ist ein transparenter Proxy. Aufrufer interagieren normal mit Ihrem MCP-Server — das Gateway fängt Anfragen ab, überprüft die Zahlung, verfolgt die Nutzung und leitet an Ihren Upstream-Server weiter.

Selbst gehostet

Das Gateway steht unter der oben genannten gehosteten URL zur Verfügung. Für selbst gehostete Bereitstellungen klonen Sie das Server-Repository und stellen Sie es via Docker bereit:

docker build -t mcp-billing-gateway .
docker run -p 3000:3000 mcp-billing-gateway

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool retrieves information, implying a read-only operation, but fails to detail aspects like authentication needs, rate limits, response format, or error handling. This leaves significant gaps in understanding how the tool behaves.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's function without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded with the core action and resource, making it easy to parse and understand quickly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has zero parameters, 100% schema coverage, and an output schema exists, the description's focus on purpose is adequate. However, it lacks behavioral details (e.g., response structure, error cases) that could enhance completeness, especially since no annotations are provided to fill those gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has zero parameters, and the input schema coverage is 100%, so no parameter documentation is needed. The description appropriately does not discuss parameters, focusing instead on the tool's purpose, which aligns with the baseline expectation for parameterless tools.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Get information') and target resource ('MCP Billing Gateway service and integration options'), making the purpose understandable. It lacks sibling tools for differentiation, but the scope is well-defined. No tautology or misleading elements are present.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool, such as for setup, troubleshooting, or comparison with other services. The description implies usage for general information retrieval but offers no context, alternatives, or exclusions, leaving the agent without operational direction.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Disambiguation5/5

With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools, as there are no other tools to confuse it with. The tool's purpose is clearly defined as retrieving billing information, making disambiguation trivial.

Naming Consistency5/5

The single tool name 'get_billing_info' follows a clear verb_noun pattern (get + billing_info), which is consistent with itself. Since there are no other tools, there is no inconsistency to evaluate, and the naming is straightforward.

Tool Count2/5

A single tool is too few for a server named 'MCP Billing Gateway SDK', which suggests a broader scope for managing billing operations. This minimal set likely leaves significant gaps in functionality, such as creating, updating, or deleting billing data, making it inappropriate for comprehensive billing tasks.

Completeness1/5

The tool set is severely incomplete for a billing gateway domain, as it only provides a read operation (get_billing_info) without any support for create, update, delete, or other essential billing workflows. This will cause agent failures when attempting to perform full billing lifecycle management.
