This is a paid API gateway that sits between your MCP client and 42 backend MCP servers, metering each tool call against a credit balance stored in Supabase. Instead of managing connections to dozens of individual servers like search-proxy-mcp, agent-wallet-mcp, or pdf-generator-mcp, you route everything through a single endpoint at localhost:8000/mcp with an API key. It deducts credits per call, enforces daily limits (100 free, 10,000 for $19/mo via Stripe), and proxies requests to the appropriate backend server by port. You'd reach for this if you're building a service where you want usage-based billing across a broad MCP toolset without running infrastructure for each one. The tradeoff is adding a paid intermediary layer to what are otherwise direct MCP connections.
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.
gateway_infoRequires: 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.
