Three steps to your first paid call
Connect your server or deploy one. Set a price. Get paid.
Connect
Paste your MCP URL or deploy from GitHub. Both paths give you a trusted endpoint with auth, billing, and analytics.
Already running a server? Connect it to Dock0 and we add auth, per-call billing, and a client-ready endpoint. Your server stays where it is.
dock0 connect --name my-tool \ --url https://server.com/mcp \ --price 0.01
Starting from code instead? Deploy directly on Dock0. We build, host, and monitor the runtime. TypeScript and Python supported.
dock0 github connect dock0 mcp add --repo owner/repo
Set Your Price
On paid plans, set any price per successful call. Buyers pay only for what they use. Free tools work too.
Earn
Buyers top up a wallet, spend per successful call, and creators keep 95% after Dock0's 5% fee. Payouts sweep weekly through Stripe Connect.
Everything between your server and getting paid
Auth, billing, payouts, rate limits, and distribution-ready endpoints — one integration, no billing code.
Per-Call Billing
Metered per invocation. Set any price from $0.001 to $1+ per call.
Stripe Payouts
5% Dock0 fee on paid calls. Weekly Stripe Connect payouts once earnings reach $25.
API Key Auth
Per-key auth with rotation and revocation.
Rate Limiting & Guardrails
Configurable RPM limits per API key.
Client-Ready Remote Access
Connect an existing server — instant paid endpoint. No build needed.
Public Directory
Toggle public visibility. Buyers discover tools and self-serve API keys.
Real-Time Analytics
Call volume, error rates, latency, revenue — all in real-time.
CLI
Full CLI for every operation: npm install -g dock0
Agent-Ready
Standardized remote MCP endpoints that any compatible client (Claude, Cursor, etc.) can discover and connect to.
Hosted Runtime
Deploy from GitHub — we build, host, and monitor it. Zero config.
Agent Guardrails
Deep proxy instrumentation that protects buyers, verifies quality, and builds trust over time.
Per-Session Spend Caps
Buyers set a max $X per agent session. No runaway bills.
Loop Detection
Auto-detect agents calling the same failing tool repeatedly. Pause before it costs.
Budget Mode
User sets a $5 budget, agent operates within it — no re-approval needed.
Auto-Pause on Failures
Stop billing when a tool is broken. Protect buyers automatically.
Simple, transparent pricing
Start free. Pay for hosting or gateway access. Dock0 takes 5% on successful paid calls.
Gateway charges for billing, metering, and payouts on servers you host yourself. Creator and Pro add hosted deployments on Dock0 infrastructure.

Launch policy: buyers fund a wallet from $25, creators are paid weekly once earnings reach $25, and Dock0 currently absorbs wallet-funding and payout processor fees.
Calculator Examples
| Price/call | Monthly calls | Gross revenue | Dock0 fee (5%) | You earn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $0.001 | 100,000 | $100 | $5 | $95 |
| $0.01 | 10,000 | $100 | $5 | $95 |
| $0.05 | 5,000 | $250 | $12.5 | $237.5 |
| $0.1 | 1,000 | $100 | $5 | $95 |
You built something useful. You’re giving it away.
Not because it isn’t worth money. Because adding billing is a whole project in itself. So they either:
- →Leave it free forever
- →Slap on a $10/month subscription nobody wants
- →Never launch because monetization is too painful
None of those are good options when you built something genuinely useful.
Why billing always becomes a side quest
- Stripe setup takes a weekend
- Webhooks break in production
- Per-call billing needs custom code
- Micro-payments aren't profitable with Stripe fees
- Auth & API key management — yet another thing to build
The missing economic layer for AI tools
Thousands of developers have built useful tools that connect AI agents to the world, but almost none of them get paid.
The protocol exists, but the infrastructure lacks a built-in cash register to meter usage and process per-call payments.
Dock0 adds the missing layer between “works” and “earns.” You set a price per call, and we handle the billing, auth, and payouts automatically.
Dock0 is the cash register.
