Monetize MCP Servers: Sell Tools to AI Agents and Humans

Developers can now monetize their Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers by selling access to AI agents and human users. MarketNow facilitates this by allowing developers to set prices between $0.99 and $9.99, taking an 80% cut of sales. Payments can be processed via Stripe for traditional credit card users or through x402 and USDC on the Base network for AI agents, offering a borderless and low-cost transaction method. AI
