Creating Paid MCP Servers with PaidMCP

Alby releases PaidMCP, an easy to use SDK for creating paid Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, built entirely on open protocols.

___________________________________________________ (2) Acc to AnthropicAI the "USB-C port for AI applications", MCPs are an open standard, but current solutions for paid MCP servers from Cloudflare and Stripe are not. 🫣 manual checkout pages in agent flows 😩 Difficult developer setup 😤 Delayed settlement and chargebacks ___________________________________________________ (3) PaidMCP is the open way to monetize AI tools. Built on the modelcontextprotocol sdk and leveraging @Nostr Wallet Connect (the USB-C of lightning wallets) to handle payments. No Stripe needed. ⚡ PaidMCP will verify the payment, and then provide access to your tool as normal.
