OpenHeab vs MCP
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard for tool calling between LLMs and tools. OpenHeab is the platform that issues identities, settles payments, and audits actions for every MCP tool call.

Why OpenHeab
OpenHeab implements MCP
OpenHeab agents speak MCP. Wrap any MCP server as a billable, audited, identity-bound tool.
MCP without infrastructure isn't enough
Tool calls need: who is calling, did they pay, what did they do. OpenHeab answers all three for every MCP request.
Marketplace economics
Sell your MCP server through OpenHeab's marketplace, get paid in real money, take 70% of every install (we take 30%).
Frequently asked
Does OpenHeab support MCP?
Yes — natively. Every MCP tool call gets identity, payment, and audit on OpenHeab.
Why use OpenHeab instead of plain MCP?
MCP is the wire format. OpenHeab is who you authenticate, bill, and audit through. Plain MCP has none of that.
