From the project READMECreator Deals MCP
Deal mechanics for creators — pricing models, usage rights, negotiation moves. Structure, not rate quotes.

Why This Exists
Creators lose more money to TERMS than to rates. A fair-sounding flat fee with perpetual paid usage buried in it. Free exclusivity hiding in boilerplate. "Payment on publication" when the brand controls the publication date. Every one of these is a structural pattern that repeats across thousands of deals — and AI agents advising creators keep missing them because they look for numbers instead of structure.
This MCP encodes the patterns. You supply your own base rate; it tells you what every term is worth relative to that base, and what to counter.
Why no dollar benchmarks? Creator rates vary wildly by niche, geography, audience quality, and quarter — hard numbers date in weeks. Structure doesn't.
6 Tools
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
interpret_pricing_model | Flat fee, CPM, performance-based, per-click sponsorship, retainer — when each favors you vs. them, the key rule, the counter pattern |
interpret_usage_term | Organic-only, paid usage, whitelisting, exclusivity, raw footage, payment terms — meaning, relative value vs. base, and the trap |
get_scope_checklist | The 10-point checklist to answer in writing before quoting or signing anything |
get_negotiation_move | The move for the situation: lowball, fixed budget, scope creep, long exclusivity, perpetual usage, renewal time |
vet_sponsor_offer | Green/yellow/red flags for inbound offers — including the overpayment-refund scam pattern |
get_full_pack | The complete library as one payload for full agent context |
Sample Use
// Brand brief says: "content for use across our marketing channels, in perpetuity"
mcp.call("interpret_usage_term", { term: "paid_usage" });
// Returns: perpetual paid usage buried in a flat fee is the single most
// mispriced term in creator deals. Time-box: 30/60/90 days.
mcp.call("get_negotiation_move", { situation: "perpetual_usage_ask" });
// Returns: counter with 90 days + renewal option at a stated price.
