A SINGLE PROXY
IN FRONT OF EVERY
PAID CALL.

The mcpmeter proxy sits between the agent and the publisher's MCP server. It authenticates the bearer key, forwards the JSON-RPC body, counts the response, writes the ledger row. Pass-through for everything else.

  • Authenticate (Redis cache)~3 ms
  • Rate-limit check~1 ms
  • Forward to upstreampass-through
  • Write ledger rowasync, batched
02 OPERATION

WATCH
THE METER
TICK.

A simulated stream — every row is the proxy authenticating, forwarding, billing, writing. Real listings populate this once your traffic flows. 200, 402, 429, 502: every status code reads exactly what it says.

VS THE OLD WAY

Move the slider. Watch the bill drop.

Most API marketplaces sell monthly subscription tiers. mcpmeter charges per call, no minimum. The bigger your usage, the more you save.

vs the cheapest tier that covers your volume

Comparison assumes the platform default rate of $0.0002/call — true today across all 23 demo MCPs. Premium MCPs (image gen, video gen, LLM-backed) are priced higher by their publishers, typically $0.10–$5.00/call to cover real upstream compute — see individual listings for actual rates. The structural win is no tier cliffs: every call costs the same, no monthly fee to forget about.
