MCP support
It exposes proxied backend tools and gateway account tools to MCP clients over HTTP. Clients connect to its endpoint using an API key.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

AgentPay Gateway MCP
One MCP installation gives your agent access to 42 backend servers — web search, legal analysis, domain intelligence, QR codes, email verification, SEC filings, patent lookup, and more — with per-call credit billing and one API key instead of 42.
What your agent can do
- Call any of the 90+ tools across 42 specialized backend servers through a single MCP endpoint — no separate accounts or API keys per service
- Pay per call using a credit system: most tools cost 1–3 credits, compute-heavy tools (contract analysis, SEO audit, legal contract generation) cost 5–8 credits
- Check remaining daily credits and account status at any time via
gateway_info - Get a Stripe checkout link to upgrade when credits are exhausted — the server returns the URL directly
- Run in demo mode locally (no database) or full mode with Supabase-backed credit ledger and Stripe billing
- Deploy via Docker with environment variables for a production-ready self-hosted gateway
Installation
Requires: Python 3.10+, mcp, httpx, anyio packages.
pip install mcp httpx anyio
The gateway runs as an HTTP server (not stdio). It must be started separately before connecting your MCP client.
# Demo mode — no database required
python server.py --port 8000
# Production mode — set env vars first
export SUPABASE_URL=https://your-project.supabase.co
export SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=your-service-key
export STRIPE_API_KEY=sk_live_...
export STRIPE_CHECKOUT_LINK=https://buy.stripe.com/...
python server.py --port 8000

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
