Auth and billing for your MCP. Agents sign themselves up and pay for the work.

Set up auth and billing
01[ ]
[ Lane is your identity provider ]

Agents create their own accounts, with no manual provisioning.

You cannot meter, check out, or settle against a user you cannot name. Point your MCP's auth at Lane and every session starts with a tenant in your user table instead of a paywall.

Website
one identity all the way to checkout

One identity, every surface the agent arrives from

Before, a paywall built for humans

After, the agent signs its user in

Auth is the unlock. Once the tenant exists, pricing and billing are policy on top of a user you already know, and adoption starts in-session instead of in a meeting

02[ ]
[ Three jobs Lane runs, in order ]

Auth, pricing, and billing.

Your MCP already has traffic it cannot name. Identity makes the user real, pricing makes the work quotable, and billing collects against both.

01 Auth for agents

A tenant, a card on file, and a customer

Point your MCP's auth at Lane. The agent signs its user up mid-session and a tenant lands in your table, with no manual provisioning.

02 Pricing for agents

Charge like Uber, not prepaid credits

Lane drafts a price per tool from what that tool does. Flat, metered, estimate, or by outcome, so nobody tops up a wallet mid-job to keep going.

The hold
AUTHORIZEthe brief opens a hold$50.00
EXTENDscope grew to 20 sites$180.00
SETTLEnever more than the hold$173.40

never more than the hold, never a top-up

03 Billing for agents

Holds that grow with the job

Authorize $50, the scope grows, the hold extends to $180, and $173.40 settles. Never more than the hold.

03[ ]
[ Value-based pricing ]

Credits are the arcade model. Charge for the work instead.

With a tenant and a price in place, the agent can pay the way the job actually runs.

One run, 12 tool calls
Prepaid credits
$12.00 spent5 calls never served

The balance empties mid-run, so the agent gives up and tries another tool

Authorization hold
$7.40 captured$4.60 releasedof a $12.00 hold

Authorized once at the ceiling, then settled at the value delivered

Same run. Credits spend the whole balance and stop at call 7, the hold finishes all 12 and charges $7.40

When free credits run out, agents do not surface a payment link, they try the next tool. It changes what a trial is: a trial on Lane is an authorization nobody captured yet, so converting a user is capturing it rather than asking them to start paying.
