A new tool called MCP Billing Gateway has been developed to simplify the monetization of MCP servers. This reverse proxy handles all billing processes, including Stripe subscriptions and per-call credits, without requiring modifications to the existing MCP server code. The gateway authenticates callers, checks for credits or subscriptions, processes payments, and then forwards the request to the unchanged MCP server, returning a 402 Payment Required error if payment fails before the server is contacted. The solution aims to reduce the development time typically spent on integrating billing systems, which can take several weeks. AI
