The MCP Economy: How AI Agents Will Pay Each Other

MCP servers let AI agents use tools. But the real unlock is agents paying agents.

Here's the vision behind AgentPay:

Today: Humans buy subscriptions for AI tools
Tomorrow: AI agents hold scoped budgets, spend autonomously

The Architecture:

1. Agent requests capability → human approves
2. Scoped token issued → spend limit + expiry + audit
3. Agent calls MCP server → token validated
4. Payment processed → SHA-256 audit log
5. Token expires → auto-revoked

Why This Matters:

Right now every MCP server is free. That's unsustainable. With governed payments:

• MCP builders get paid
• Agent users get safety guardrails
• The ecosystem grows

Try It:
61 MCP servers: smithery.ai/servers/vishar-rumbling
SDK: npm install @agentpayxyz/sdk

The MCP economy starts now.
