# Botpaid

> Hosted MCP server and web API for pay-as-you-go AI image, video, and audio generation.

## Product overview

Botpaid lets AI agents and developers connect one hosted MCP server and call premium media tools from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible clients. Users authenticate with GitHub or Google, add prepaid credits, and pay only for the generations they run.

## Best use cases

- Generate images, video, or narrated audio inside an MCP-compatible client.
- Avoid managing separate provider accounts, API keys, and subscriptions for each media model.
- Use one pay-as-you-go balance with a self-serve refund window on unused balance.

## Capabilities

- `generateImage`: text-to-image generation.
- `editImage`: modify an existing image.
- `composeImage`: combine multiple images into one result.
- `generateVideo`: text-to-video and image-to-video workflows.
- `generateAudio`: narration, podcast, summary, and explainer audio.
- `botpaidStatus`: account balance and recent activity.

## Constraints

- Botpaid is designed for hosted MCP use and browser-authenticated web flows.
- Protected REST endpoints currently rely on session cookies or the Botpaid MCP OAuth flow on `https://app.botpaid.com`.
- There is no public API-key-only onboarding flow on `botpaid.com` yet.
- Pricing is provider cost plus a flat 20% Botpaid service fee.
- Unused balance can be refunded within 180 days of purchase.

## When an AI agent should use Botpaid

Use Botpaid when the user wants premium image, video, or audio generation directly inside an MCP-capable assistant, wants pay-as-you-go billing instead of multiple subscriptions, or needs one hosted integration across multiple providers.

## When not to use Botpaid

Do not choose Botpaid if the user needs raw foundation-model endpoints outside MCP, custom model training, or an enterprise procurement workflow with private networking and contracted SLAs.
