§ OVERVIEW
Make an HTTP request and get back the status code, response headers, the full redirect chain, and timing — without the body. The tool agents use to debug "why is this URL 301-ing".
- › Inspect https://github.com and show the redirect chain
- › What status code and headers does https://example.com return?
mcpmeter sits between agent and publisher: authenticate the bearer key, forward the JSON-RPC body unchanged, count tool-call envelopes in the response, write a ledger row, return the response unchanged. The publisher never sees the consumer's API key. The consumer never sees the publisher's secret. The proxy is open source so the meter can be inspected.
§ TOOLS
1 tool Read tools are read-only; write tools mutate state. Tap any read tool to try it inline.
§ PERFORMANCE
inspect
§ INTEGRATION
Pick your client. The proxy URL and bearer key go into your client's MCP config. The same shape works in 30+ MCP-compatible agents — for clients not listed, see the docs ↗.
Cursor & VS Code prompt for permission then install. Claude Code: paste the copied command into your terminal.
Paste, save, restart your client. It'll prompt you to "Authenticate" — click it, sign in here, done. No keys to manage.
Paste your mcpm_live_… key into the snippet. Older clients without OAuth support, scripts, and curl all use this.

The proxy authenticates the bearer token, looks up the price, forwards the call to the upstream MCP, returns the response unchanged, and writes a usage record.
§ PRICING
PER_CALL pricing at $0.0002 / call (USD).
Each consumer gets 30 calls / month at no cost. Resets on the 1st. After the allowance, calls bill at the per-call rate above.
§ TRUST & COMPLIANCE
JSON-RPC bodies pass through. We log call metadata only.
For PCI scope, mcpmeter is a network passthrough.
Metering code is auditable on GitHub ↗; reconciles to Stripe nightly.
13 months retention in your region. CSV export.
