Ship MCP Pro β Ship a Paid MCP Server
Fewer than 5% of the 11,000+ MCP servers make any money. Demand is surely not missing, agents are calling tools millions of times a day but the billing plumbing is genuinely annoying: license verification, refund handling, tiering, rate limits, remote transport, deployment.
Ship MCP Pro is that plumbing, done properly, once:
- π License-key gating (Payhip, Gumroad & Lemon Squeezy) β sell keys, server verifies them. Disabled/refunded keys, 24h caching, offline grace: handled. Provider is one env var.
- ποΈ Free/pro tiers per tool β your free tier is the funnel; rejection messages are upsells the agent relays verbatim.
- β±οΈ Rate limiting β sliding window, per caller, per tier. Change one object to reprice.
- π Usage metering β know which tools get used before you price v2.
- π stdio + streamable HTTP β local installs or a hosted server (stateless; deploys to Railway/Fly/any Docker host in minutes β guides included).
- β 27 unit tests, strict TS, Dockerfile, CI β it's a codebase, not a gist.
- π£ Launch kit β the exact directory checklist (PulseMCP, mcp.so, Glama, Smitheryβ¦) that gets servers ~10x more installs.
The 20-minute path: write your tools as pure functions β mark each "free" or "pro" β paste your Payhip product secret key β ship. Your buyers paste one config block into Claude Desktop/Cursor.

Built by a developer who got tired of watching great MCP servers earn $0.
