mpp-mcp-gateway

Monetize any MCP server with stablecoin micropayments via the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) on the Tempo blockchain.

Build MCP tool servers that charge AI agents per-call, per-session, or via access keys — settled in pathUSD and other TIP-20 stablecoins. Build AI-agent clients that pay for those tools automatically with configurable spending caps.

Overview

mpp-mcp-gateway is a TypeScript library that adds stablecoin micropayment gating to MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. When an AI agent calls a paid tool, the server issues a 402 Payment Required challenge. The agent's client signs a payment transaction on the Tempo blockchain, retries the call with a credential, and the server verifies settlement before running the handler and returning the result with a receipt.

Key capabilities:

  • Four pricing models — per-call, tiered, session (payment channels), and access-key (subscriptions)

  • Multi-currency support — accept multiple TIP-20 stablecoins per tool

  • Exact revenue tracking — BigInt arithmetic prevents float drift across millions of sub-cent payments

  • Pluggable storage — in-memory, Upstash Redis (atomic CAS), Cloudflare KV, or bring your own

  • Rate limiting — token bucket (in-memory or Redis-backed) with per-tool overrides

  • Auth middleware — bearer token, API key, HTTP Basic, signed URLs, CORS — all timing-safe

  • Prometheus metrics/metrics endpoint, zero dependencies

  • OpenTelemetry tracing — opt-in span tree per paid call, zero cost when disabled

  • Webhooks — HMAC-signed event push with retry, backoff, and dead-letter hooks

  • Service discovery — OpenAPI 3.1 with x-payment-info extensions (crawled by mpp.land)

  • Dashboard — React UI + JSON API for live revenue and call monitoring

  • Graceful shutdown — drain in-flight calls, fire hooks, settle webhooks

  • Runtime-portable — works on Node.js 20+, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, Deno, Bun

  1. Agent calls a paid tool via MCP

  2. Server responds with MCP error code -32042 containing an MPP challenge

  3. Client enforces spending caps, signs the payment, retries with a credential

  4. Server verifies on-chain settlement via mppx

  5. Handler runs, result is returned with a payment receipt (tx hash, timestamp)

Quick Start

Server (tool provider)

import { createPaidMcpServer } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway/server'
import { z } from 'zod'

const server = createPaidMcpServer({
  name: 'my-api',
  version: '1.0.0',
  recipient: '0xYourWalletAddress',
  secretKey: process.env.PAYMENT_SECRET_KEY!,
  network: 'testnet',
  tools: [
    {
      name: 'get_weather',
      description: 'Get weather for a city. $0.001 per call.',
      inputSchema: { city: z.string() },
      pricing: { type: 'per-call', amount: '0.001' },
      handler: async ({ city }) => ({
        content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Weather in ${city}: 72°F, sunny` }],
      }),
    },
    {
      name: 'ping',
      description: 'Free liveness check.',
      inputSchema: {},
      // No pricing = free tool
      handler: async () => ({
        content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'pong' }],
      }),
    },
  ],
})

await server.startStdio()

Client (AI agent)

import { createPaidMcpClient } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway/client'
import { StdioClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js'

const client = createPaidMcpClient({
  name: 'my-agent',
  version: '1.0.0',
  privateKey: process.env.AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY! as `0x${string}`,
  maxPerCall: '0.10',    // safety cap: max $0.10 per single call
  maxTotal: '10.00',     // safety cap: max $10.00 total spend
  network: 'testnet',
})

const transport = new StdioClientTransport({
  command: 'node',
  args: ['server.js'],
})
await client.connect(transport)

// Free call — no payment required
const ping = await client.callTool('ping')
console.log(ping.content[0].text) // "pong"
console.log(ping.paid)            // false

// Paid call — automatic 402 → sign → retry
const weather = await client.callTool('get_weather', { city: 'Tokyo' })
console.log(weather.content[0].text) // "Weather in Tokyo: 72°F, sunny"
console.log(weather.paid)            // true
console.log(weather.receipt?.reference) // "0xabc...def" (tx hash)

await client.close()

Pricing Models

Per-Call

Fixed price per invocation. One on-chain transaction per call.

pricing: { type: 'per-call', amount: '0.001' }

Tiered

Price decreases (or increases) based on cumulative call count.

pricing: {
  type: 'tiered',
  tiers: [
    { upTo: 100, amount: '0.01' },
    { upTo: 1000, amount: '0.005' },
    { upTo: 'unlimited', amount: '0.001' },
  ],
}

Session (Payment Channels)

Agent opens an on-chain escrow channel once. Subsequent calls submit signed vouchers off-chain. Server settles the highest voucher when the channel closes. Best for streaming or high-frequency tools.

pricing: {
  type: 'session',
  amount: '0.0005',          // per-unit price
  unitType: 'request',       // informational label
  suggestedDeposit: '0.50',  // hint for initial channel funding
}

Client-side session management:

// Make multiple calls against the same channel
await client.callTool('think', { topic: 'AI alignment' })
await client.callTool('think', { topic: 'quantum computing' })

// Cooperatively close and settle on-chain
const result = await client.closeSession('think')
console.log(result.receipt.reference) // settlement tx hash

Access Key (Subscriptions)

Agent pays once upfront and receives an opaque token. Subsequent calls present the token — no further payment until the key expires or is exhausted. Best for "buy a day pass" or "buy N calls" UX.

pricing: {
  type: 'access-key',
  amount: '0.01',       // upfront cost
  validFor: '1d',       // time limit (supports: 60s, 30m, 4h, 7d)
  maxCalls: 100,        // call limit (at least one of validFor/maxCalls required)
}

The client handles caching automatically:

// First call: pays $0.01, receives access key
const r1 = await client.callTool('premium_data', { query: 'foo' })
console.log(r1.paid)                    // true
console.log(r1.accessKey?.justIssued)   // true
console.log(r1.accessKey?.remainingCalls) // 99

// Subsequent calls: free (key presented in _meta)
const r2 = await client.callTool('premium_data', { query: 'bar' })
console.log(r2.paid)  // false

Multi-Currency

Any pricing model can accept multiple TIP-20 stablecoins:

pricing: {
  type: 'per-call',
  amount: '0.001',
  accept: [
    { currency: '0x20c0...0000', amount: '0.001' }, // pathUSD
    { currency: '0x20c0...0001', amount: '0.001' }, // alphaUSD
  ],
}

Server API

import { createPaidMcpServer, PaidMcpServer } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway/server'

const server = createPaidMcpServer(config)

// Start on stdio (for CLI / subprocess use)
await server.startStdio()

// Or access the underlying McpServer for custom transports
const mcpServer = server.server
await mcpServer.connect(someTransport)

// Runtime inspection
server.getStats()           // GatewayStats (calls, revenue, sessions, keys)
server.listTools()          // tool names, descriptions, current prices
server.getRecentCalls(100)  // last N calls from the ring buffer
server.getInFlightCount()   // currently active handlers
server.isShuttingDown()     // true after close() begins
server.describe()           // full descriptor for discovery/OpenAPI

// Access-key management
await server.listAccessKeys()          // live keys issued by this instance
await server.revokeAccessKey(token)    // { revoked: boolean }

// Graceful shutdown
await server.close({ timeoutMs: 25_000 })

Client API

import { createPaidMcpClient, PaidMcpClient } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway/client'

const client = createPaidMcpClient(config)

await client.connect(transport)
await client.listTools()
const result = await client.callTool('tool_name', { arg: 'value' })

// Spending state
client.getSpending()    // { totalSpent, remaining, maxTotal, maxPerCall, ... }
client.resetSpending()  // reset cumulative counter (for tests)

// Access key management
client.getAccessKeys()          // cached keys by tool name
client.clearAccessKey('tool')   // force re-payment on next call
client.clearAccessKeys()        // drop all cached keys

// Session management
client.getOpenSessions()        // open channels by tool name
await client.closeSession('tool') // settle channel on-chain

await client.close()

Transports

The gateway works with any MCP transport. Examples included:

Transport

Use Case

Example

stdio

CLI tools, subprocess spawning

examples/paid-weather-mcp/

Streamable HTTP

Network servers (modern)

examples/paid-weather-http/

SSE (legacy)

Older MCP clients

examples/paid-weather-sse/

In-Memory

Testing, same-process

examples/in-memory-demo/

Store Adapters

The gateway uses a pluggable MppMcpStore interface for persisting access-key records and session channel state.

import { Store } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway/stores'

Adapter

Atomicity

Use Case

Store.memory()

Atomic (promise-chain)

Tests, local dev, single-instance

Store.upstash(redis)

Atomic (Lua CAS)

Production, multi-instance

Store.cloudflareKv(ns)

Best-effort

Edge access keys (not for sessions)

Store.bridge(legacy)

Best-effort

Backward compat with mppx stores

Upstash Example

import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis'
import { createUpstashStore } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway/stores'

const store = createUpstashStore(
  new Redis({ url: process.env.UPSTASH_URL!, token: process.env.UPSTASH_TOKEN! }),
  { keyPrefix: 'mppmcp:', ttlSeconds: 30 * 24 * 3600 }
)

const server = createPaidMcpServer({
  // ...
  accessKeyStore: store,
  sessionStore: store,
})

Custom Store

Implement the four-method interface:

interface MppMcpStore {
  get<T>(key: string): Promise<T | null>
  put(key: string, value: unknown): Promise<void>
  delete(key: string): Promise<void>
  update<T>(key: string, transform: (current: T | null) => T | null): Promise<T | null>
}

The update method must guarantee atomic read-modify-write. The transform callback may be called multiple times under contention (CAS-style backends).

Rate Limiting

Rate limiting fires before payment and handler logic — denied calls never issue a 402 or run your handler.

const server = createPaidMcpServer({
  // ...
  rateLimit: {
    refillPerMinute: 60,   // sustained rate
    capacity: 10,          // burst capacity
    perTool: {
      expensive_ai: { refillPerMinute: 5, capacity: 2 },
      cheap_lookup:  { refillPerMinute: 600, capacity: 100 },
    },
    // Custom bucketing (e.g. per-session on HTTP transports)
    keyExtractor: (toolName, extra) => `${toolName}:${extra.sessionId ?? 'default'}`,
  },
})

For multi-instance deployments, use the Upstash-backed limiter:

import { upstashTokenBucketLimiter } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway/rate-limit'

const limiter = upstashTokenBucketLimiter(redis, {
  keyPrefix: 'mppmcp:rl:',
  refillPerMinute: 120,
  capacity: 20,
})

const server = createPaidMcpServer({
  // ...
  rateLimit: { limiter },
})

Authentication Middleware

Five Express middleware factories for protecting dashboard, metrics, and discovery endpoints:

import { auth } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway'

// Bearer token (constant-time comparison)
mountDashboard(server, app, {
  middleware: auth.bearerToken(process.env.DASHBOARD_TOKEN!, { realm: 'admin' }),
})

// API key in custom header
mountMetrics(server, app, {
  middleware: auth.apiKey({ header: 'x-api-key', value: process.env.METRICS_KEY! }),
})

// HTTP Basic Auth (multi-user)
mountDashboard(server, app, {
  middleware: auth.basicAuth({ users: { admin: 'secret' }, realm: 'gateway' }),
})

// HMAC-signed URLs with TTL
mountDashboard(server, app, {
  middleware: auth.signedQuery({ secret: process.env.URL_SECRET!, ttlSeconds: 300 }),
})

// Public CORS for registry crawlers
mountDiscovery(server, app, {
  middleware: auth.publicCors(),
})

Dashboard & Monitoring

JSON API

import { mountDashboard } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway'

mountDashboard(server, app, { prefix: '/api' })

Exposes:

Endpoint

Response

GET /api/stats

{ stats: GatewayStats } — calls, revenue, sessions, keys, uptime

GET /api/tools

{ tools: [{ name, description, price }] }

GET /api/calls?limit=N

{ calls: CallLogEntry[] } — newest first

GET /api/keys

{ keys: AccessKeyListEntry[] } — live access keys

DELETE /api/keys/:token

{ revoked: boolean } — revoke a key (mutating; protect with middleware)

Prometheus Metrics

import { mountMetrics } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway'

mountMetrics(server, app, {
  middleware: auth.bearerToken(process.env.METRICS_TOKEN!),
})

Exposed metrics:

  • mppmcp_calls_total{tool} — counter by tool

  • mppmcp_calls_by_mode_total{mode} — paid, free, session, access_key, total

  • mppmcp_revenue_micro_usd_total{tool} — cumulative revenue in micro-USD

  • mppmcp_in_flight_calls — gauge of active handlers

  • mppmcp_access_keys_issued_total / expired_total

  • mppmcp_sessions_opened_total / closed_total

  • mppmcp_rate_limited_total — calls rejected by the rate limiter

  • mppmcp_rejected_shutting_down_total — calls rejected during shutdown

  • mppmcp_uptime_seconds

  • mppmcp_shutting_down

React Dashboard

A pre-built React + Vite dashboard lives in dashboard/. It polls the JSON API every 2 seconds and displays:

  • Revenue counters and tool table sorted by revenue

  • Live call log color-coded by payment mode

  • Access key and session statistics

cd dashboard
npm install
npm run build

Serve dashboard/dist/ as static files from your Express app.

Service Discovery

Generate and serve an OpenAPI 3.1 document with x-payment-info extensions per the MPP service-discovery IETF draft. Public registries like mpp.land crawl this automatically.

import { mountDiscovery } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway'

mountDiscovery(server, app, {
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
  categories: ['data', 'search'],
  docs: { homepage: 'https://example.com/docs' },
})
// GET /openapi.json → OpenAPI 3.1 with x-payment-info per tool

Webhooks

Push events to a URL with HMAC-SHA-256 signatures. Delivery is fire-and-forget (non-blocking), with retry and exponential backoff.

const server = createPaidMcpServer({
  // ...
  webhooks: {
    url: 'https://example.com/webhook',
    secret: process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET!,
    events: ['payment.received', 'session.closed'], // or omit for all
    maxAttempts: 3,
    onDrop: async (event, lastError) => {
      // Dead-letter: persist to DB for replay
      await db.insert('webhook_dlq', { event, error: lastError })
    },
  },
})

Event types: payment.received, access-key.issued, access-key.expired, session.opened, session.closed, call.failed

Receiver verification:

import { createHmac } from 'node:crypto'

function verify(req) {
  const expected = 'sha256=' + createHmac('sha256', WEBHOOK_SECRET)
    .update(`${req.headers['x-mppmcp-timestamp']}.${req.body}`)
    .digest('hex')
  return timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(expected), Buffer.from(req.headers['x-mppmcp-signature']))
}

OpenTelemetry Tracing

Opt-in. Pass a tracer to get a span tree per paid call. Zero overhead when disabled.

import { trace } from '@opentelemetry/api'

const server = createPaidMcpServer({
  // ...
  tracer: trace.getTracer('mpp-mcp-gateway', '1.0.0'),
})

Span tree:

mppmcp.tool.call (root)
├── mppmcp.payment.charge   (or mppmcp.session.advance, mppmcp.access-key.redeem)
└── mppmcp.handler.run

Attributes: mppmcp.tool.name, mppmcp.pricing.type, mppmcp.amount, mppmcp.payment.mode, mppmcp.payment.tx-hash, mppmcp.session.action, mppmcp.error.code

Operator CLI

Inspect and manage deployed gateways from the command line:

npx mpp-mcp inspect https://my-gateway.fly.dev --token=secret123
npx mpp-mcp stats https://api.example.com
npx mpp-mcp tools https://api.example.com

Design Principles

  • Revenue exactness — all money math uses bigint base units (6 decimals). No float drift after millions of operations.

  • Zero-cost opt-in — tracing, webhooks, and rate limiting are no-ops unless configured. Non-traced deployments allocate no spans.

  • Pluggable everything — stores, loggers, rate limiters, and auth are interface-based. Swap implementations without touching gateway code.

  • Fail fast — configuration errors throw at construction time, not at request time.

  • Errors are values — typed error classes with stable codes. Use instanceof or err.code for programmatic handling.

  • Ring buffer call log — O(1) pre-allocated, never grows. No GC pressure under high throughput.

  • Graceful lifecycle — shutdown gate rejects new calls, drain waits for in-flight, webhook flush, then disconnect.

  • Amount math (BigInt conversions, edge cases)

  • Auth middleware (all 5 factories)

  • Call-log ring buffer (wrap-around, capacity limits)

  • Graceful shutdown & drain

  • Dashboard API responses

  • Discovery / OpenAPI generation

  • Error taxonomy

  • Free tools (no-payment path)

  • Logger (structured output, redaction, child loggers)

  • Prometheus metrics formatting

  • Multi-currency discovery

  • Paid flow (402 → credential → receipt)

  • Pricing calculations (tiered, per-call)

  • Rate limiting (token bucket, denial, retry-after)

  • Revenue exactness (BigInt accumulation across many calls)

  • Runtime helpers (randomHex, hmacSha256Hex)

  • Session lifecycle (open → voucher → close → settle)

  • Spending caps (per-call, total, session deposit)

  • OpenTelemetry tracing (span attributes, error recording)

  • Webhooks (delivery, retry, HMAC signature, dead-letter)

  • Type tests (via tsd)

  • Throughput benchmarks (via vitest bench)

Graceful Shutdown

Wire close() to your container's shutdown signal:

process.on('SIGTERM', async () => {
  try {
    await server.close({ timeoutMs: 25_000 })
    process.exit(0)
  } catch {
    process.exit(1) // drain timed out
  }
})

Structured Logging

The library ships a pluggable Logger interface. Default: JSON to stderr with automatic redaction of secrets (private keys, credentials, signed transactions).

import { consoleLogger, silentLogger, withRedaction } from 'mpp-mcp-gateway'

// Custom logger
const server = createPaidMcpServer({
  // ...
  logger: withRedaction(consoleLogger({ level: 'debug', pretty: true })),
})

// Silence for tests
const server = createPaidMcpServer({
  // ...
  logger: silentLogger(),
})

Adapt to pino, winston, or any logging library:

const adapter: Logger = {
  debug: (m, c) => pino.debug(c, m),
  info: (m, c) => pino.info(c, m),
  warn: (m, c) => pino.warn(c, m),
  error: (m, c) => pino.error(c, m),
  child: (bindings) => /* wrap pino.child(bindings) */,
}
