Botpaid is a hosted MCP server and web API that lets AI agents and developers generate images, video, and audio from MCP-compatible clients using a single pay-as-you-go balance.

How do users authenticate with Botpaid?

Users authenticate with GitHub or Google on app.botpaid.com. Protected web API routes currently use session cookies, and MCP clients use the Botpaid OAuth flow exposed by the hosted MCP service.

How does Botpaid pricing work?

Botpaid uses a prepaid balance. Each generation is billed at provider cost plus a 20% Botpaid service fee. Users can start with as little as $1 and request a refund on unused balance within 180 days of purchase.

When should an AI agent use Botpaid?

Use Botpaid when the user wants premium image, video, or audio generation directly inside an MCP-capable assistant and prefers a single hosted integration instead of separate provider accounts and subscriptions.

Botpaid developer docs and MCP discovery

Botpaid is a pay-as-you-go MCP server for AI image, video, and audio generation.

Botpaid gives AI agents and developers one hosted MCP server that works across Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible clients. Instead of managing separate subscriptions, provider dashboards, and API keys for each media model, you connect one service, authenticate with GitHub or Google, add a prepaid balance, and call premium media tools directly where you already work.

The production MCP endpoint is https://app.botpaid.com/mcp. Public discovery documents live at /llms.txt, /openapi.json, /docs, /.well-known/mcp/manifest.json, and /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.
