- Worth noticing
- The sample MCP config installs `@tollgate/mcp` through npx; showcase rates range from 1 to 5 sats.
Field notes
The public inspector is set up around an unpaid request: a visitor can choose a showcase endpoint, send the request, then retry after paying; the example also accepts an optional Cashu token. The directory lists Markdown at 2 sats, BTC Intel at 1 sat, and JS Sandbox at 5 sats. A displayed MCP configuration runs `@tollgate/mcp` with Satgate's gateway URL. The homepage describes the payment flow as live mainnet, a claim not independently verifiable from the supplied capture.
