Marketplace
Browse and subscribe to MCP servers published by other creators, or become a seller and monetize your own.
How the Marketplace works
The Marketplace connects MCP server creators with consumers. Every listing is a fully hosted, governed server — when you subscribe, the server appears in your account as if you deployed it yourself, with all the same Quick Connect, DLP, and monitoring features.
This is different from traditional API marketplaces: you're not downloading code or managing infrastructure. You're subscribing to a running service that your AI clients can connect to immediately.
Browsing
Navigate to Marketplace from the sidebar. The page opens with:
- Search — Live search with instant dropdown results. As you type, matching listings appear with name, description, and price.
- How It Works — A three-step visual guide: browse → subscribe → connect.
- Compatible Clients — A horizontal strip showing supported AI clients. Every Marketplace server works with every MCP-compatible client.
- Filters — Narrow results by server type (API tools vs. Skills) and listing type (paid vs. free).
Listing cards
Each listing appears as a card showing:
- Title and short description
- Seller name and avatar
- Price — Free or monthly subscription cost
- Server type badge — API (endpoint-based tools) or Skills (text-based knowledge)
- Subscribe or Get Access button
Click a card to open the listing detail page with the full description, tool inventory, pricing, and terms.
Subscribing
Subscribing to a server is like deploying one yourself — the server appears in your account, you get connection tokens, and you can connect any AI client through Quick Connect.
- Click Subscribe (paid) or Get Free Access.
- For paid listings, Stripe Checkout handles the payment.
- The server immediately appears in My Subscriptions and is ready for Quick Connect.
My Subscriptions
Navigate to My Subscriptions from the sidebar. This page lists every server you're subscribed to:
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Server name | Name and seller |
| Status | Active or expired |
| Tools | Number of MCP tools available |
| Subscription date | When you subscribed |
| Manage | Link to cancel or modify |
Becoming a seller
To sell access to your MCP servers, complete the Seller Account onboarding.
Seller Account wizard
Navigate to Seller Account from the sidebar. The wizard has two steps:
- Profile Setup — Enter your display name, bio, and contact information. This is how buyers see you on every listing.
- Payout Configuration — Connect your Stripe account through Stripe Connect. This enables direct payouts when subscribers purchase your listings. Stripe handles invoicing, tax forms, and currency conversion.
Seller Dashboard
After onboarding, the Seller Account page becomes a dashboard:
- Revenue overview — Total earnings, active subscriber count, and payout history.
- Active listings — All servers you've listed on the Marketplace with status and performance data.
- Performance metrics — Subscriber trends and listing views over time.
Creating a listing
To list a server:
- Open the server's Detail page.
- Go to the Sell Access tab (visible only to sellers).
- Configure: title, description, pricing (free or monthly), category, and terms.
- Click Publish.
Your server becomes discoverable by all Marketplace users. You retain full control — update, pause, or remove the listing at any time. If you delete a server with active subscribers, a confirmation dialog lets you force-schedule the deletion after the current billing cycle ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Vinkius Marketplace?
The Vinkius Marketplace is a curated directory where you can browse and subscribe to MCP servers published by other creators, or list your own servers for others to use. Every listing is a live, fully hosted MCP server — not a code download or self-hosted package.
How do I subscribe to a marketplace server?
Browse the marketplace, find a server that matches your needs, and click Subscribe. Vinkius Cloud generates a connection token and Config JSON instantly. Paste it into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — the tools are immediately available.
Can I sell my own MCP servers on the marketplace?
Yes. Any server you deploy on Vinkius Cloud can be published to the marketplace. Set your pricing (free or paid), write a description, and submit for review. Payments are handled through Stripe Connect with automatic payouts.
What pricing models are available for sellers?
Sellers can choose between free listings (to build a user base), monthly subscriptions, or per-request pricing. Stripe Connect handles all billing, payouts, and tax compliance.
Are marketplace servers governed the same way as my own?
Yes. Every marketplace server runs on the same infrastructure with the same security guarantees: DLP, FinOps Guard, SSRF protection, V8 sandbox isolation, and HMAC-authenticated connection tokens.
How is the marketplace different from other MCP directories?
Unlike registries like Smithery or OpenTools that list code packages you have to self-host, the Vinkius Marketplace provides fully hosted, running MCP servers. You subscribe, get a URL, and connect — no infrastructure to manage.
