Salesforce and Google Apigee introduce new AI agent metering and on-premise solutions

Salesforce is introducing a new pricing model called Flex Credits, which will charge for AI agent interactions with production environments. This move aims to meter "Headless Platform Interactions" and draw down credits for each successful agent call. Google's Apigee is also adapting by allowing MCP (Meta-Compute Platform) to run within customer clusters, addressing requests for on-premises solutions. Additionally, Cloudflare has implemented its first MCP event, using its Workers Issues feature to send error monitoring data to agents without requiring an SDK. AI

IMPACT New pricing models for AI agent interactions could influence how businesses integrate and pay for AI services.
