Cloudflare opens Monetization Gateway beta for agent pay per use
Cloudflare said its Monetization Gateway is in closed beta, letting domain owners charge agents for websites, APIs, MCP tools, or datasets with HTTP 402. It said four customer use cases are already in production, and AI Gateway now supports request time inference payments for U.S.-based Cloudflare customers on select models.
Why it matters. This gives agent builders a way to buy APIs, tools, data, or model inference per request over HTTP instead of relying on subscriptions, prepaid credits, or API keys.
