🧵 1/ Just dropped a 90-sec demo of MCPay.fun for the Coinbase hackathon project that turns x402 into MCP payments.

"Monetize your MCP server in one click"

2/ Why?

Developers struggle to monetize AI tools and APIs without setting up full SaaS infrastructure, managing API keys, or relying on centralized marketplaces.

Consumers and AI agents face friction: paywalls, subscriptions, OAuth flows, or unavailable APIs make it hard to access services on demand.

3/ Tool Stack

• x402 for the 402 ↔️ payment dance
• CDP Wallet to sign + send USDC on Base
• Pinata private IPFS MCP server so agents can pay-to-pin files

Amongst others...

4/ Demo

See how I register something super quick and make micropayments via MCP for tool use

5/ Give me feedback

If you’re building autonomous agents or usage-based APIs, give it a spin and tell me what breaks. 👾 Alpha (testnet) live at https://mcpay.fun – and yes, it’s all pay-per-use.
