# SolvaPay - Payment Infrastructure for AI Agents & APIs

> Payment platform for AI agents, MCP tools, and APIs with conversational checkout and usage-based billing

## About

SolvaPay provides payment infrastructure specifically designed for AI services, conversational interfaces, and modern APIs. We enable developers to monetize AI agents, MCP tools, and APIs with minimal integration effort.

## Products

### MCP Pay
Monetize Model Context Protocol tools with built-in payment flows. Add paywalls to any MCP server in minutes.

### Agent Pay
Payment infrastructure for AI agents — conversational checkout, usage tracking, and billing without breaking the chat experience.

## Key Features

- **Conversational Checkout**: Native payment flows inside chat interfaces without redirects or context switching
- **API & MCP Monetization**: Turn any API, MCP tool, or dataset into a revenue stream with pay-per-use billing
- **Usage-Based Pricing**: Automatic usage tracking, metering, and invoicing
- **Subscription Management**: Support for flat, metered, and hybrid pricing models
- **SDK Integration**: Drop-in scripts for Express, Next.js, MCP servers, and more
- **Vibe Code Compatible**: Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, and Bolt

## Core Concepts

### payable() Function
Wrap any endpoint with `payable()` to add payment protection and usage tracking:
```typescript
import { createSolvaPay } from '@solvapay/server';
const solvaPay = createSolvaPay();
const payable = solvaPay.payable({});

app.post('/api/generate', payable.http(async (req) => {
  // Your business logic here
  return { result: 'generated content' };
}));
```

### Integration Time
- Setup: 5 minutes
