You're building AI tools, MCP servers, or agent plugins. You need to get paid for them. There's no existing licensing infrastructure for AI agents — until now. Monaiq is the first platform purpose-built to monetize the AI supply chain.
The AI Monetization Gap
AI agents, MCP servers, and tool plugins are the next economy. But there's no infrastructure to monetize them. You can't use Stripe to meter tool invocations. You can't use a license key to gate agent capabilities. The primitives don't exist — so builders either give tools away free or hack together custom solutions.
Monaiq provides the licensing and metering primitives AI tools need.
License the AI supply chain
The monetization primitives AI tools need.
Tool Invocation Metering
Meter every tool call your agent makes. Set rate limits, track consumption, and bill based on actual usage — not just seat count.
Feature-Level Gating
Gate specific agent capabilities behind license tiers. Free agents get basic tools. Paid agents unlock advanced capabilities.
MCP-Native
Monaiq's own MCP server proves the model. Your AI tools integrate with the same protocol — licensing becomes part of the agent ecosystem.
Subscription + Usage Hybrid
Charge a base subscription plus usage overages. The natural pricing model for AI tools that have unpredictable consumption patterns.
Offline-Capable
Cryptographic verification works without network calls. License local agents, edge deployments, and embedded AI without phone-home requirements.
Reseller Distribution
Sell AI tools through reseller channels. Let partners bundle your agent capabilities into their platforms.
What you can monetize
Concrete monetization scenarios for the AI economy.
MCP Servers
Charge per tool invocation or monthly subscription for access to your MCP server's tools. Gate premium tools behind higher tiers.
AI Plugins
License agent plugins with feature gating. Free tier gets basic capabilities, pro tier unlocks advanced tools and higher rate limits.
Agent Toolkits
Sell SDK access with usage metering. Track API calls, token consumption, or custom metrics. Bill per usage or subscription.
From free tool to monetized agent in minutes
Meter tool invocations and gate capabilities with a few lines of code.
public async Task<ToolResult> HandleToolCall(ToolRequest request)
{
// AI agent tool gating
var canUseTool = await licensingService.AssertLicense(
LicensingServiceReference.ServiceReference, context,
ServiceAccessLicenseAssertion.Create(request.ToolName));
if (!canUseTool)
return ToolResult.Denied("Upgrade to access this tool.");
// Track tool invocations
await licensingService.PerformOperation(
LicensingServiceReference.ServiceReference, context,
new RateLimitLicenseFeatureOperation(toolInvocationFeature, quantity: 1));
return await ExecuteTool(request);
}
