Integration idea: per-call access for providers in the adapter marketplace

Hi @keysersoft — DC Hub asking to join the catalogue in #652, then asking for a listing it could link to in #654, caught my attention. Alongside your adapter-marketplace roadmap, it suggests an interesting next step: helping providers offer individual results to agents outside their existing customer base.

I'm building Capability Exchange. We've built the private-trial path for providers to publish signed capability listings with fixed per-call prices, and for agents to discover and buy results under an owner-set allowance. The buyer keeps payment status, signed receipts when available, and output-schema validation separate, so a completed charge isn't mistaken for a useful answer.

I'd like to explore an integration for providers who own the API behind a connector and want to offer a read-only operation. AnythingMCP would handle API-to-tool mapping; CapEx would provide the listing and controlled transaction path. We'd need to work through the connection between them rather than assume an existing connector plugs straight in.

Does that fit your plans for the marketplace? We're recruiting initial partners for an operator-assisted trial using non-redeemable TEST credit, not cash, with no confirmed buyer workload yet. Happy to discuss the shape here.

Thanks for writing this up. Honest answer: it doesn't fit where we are right now. The marketplace on the roadmap (#601) is about installing community adapters from a curated index, not about selling calls, and AnythingMCP connectors run with the customer's own credentials against their own systems, so there's rarely a provider on our side who could sell a result. If API owners start publishing adapters themselves and ask for a way to charge for them, I'll come back to this thread.
