# Monetize an MCP server with SDK integration

> Use the SolvaPay TypeScript SDK to monetize an MCP server with full control over auth, paywall behavior, and tool access.

Use this guide when you want to monetize an MCP server but keep implementation control in your own codebase.

## Who this is for

* Teams building custom MCP server behavior
* Teams that need custom auth and entitlement logic
* Teams that want SDK-level control instead of the no-code MCP integration

## What you will achieve

By the end, your MCP server uses the SolvaPay SDK to enforce purchases and manage monetized tool access.

## Prerequisites

* A SolvaPay account
* A product and at least one plan in the SolvaPay Console
* A TypeScript MCP server project

Start from `createSolvaPayMcpServer` — the recommended factory that wires the transport, intent tools, paywall, and UI resource for you, so you register paid tools with `registerPayable` instead of hand-rolling an MCP server.

## Steps

1. Complete [SDK quick start](/sdks/typescript/setup/quick-start) to set up the base paywall flow.
2. Follow the [MCP integration guide](/sdks/typescript/guides/mcp).
3. Configure identity with [custom auth](/sdks/typescript/guides/custom-auth) if your server uses external auth.
4. Add usage billing with [usage events](/sdks/typescript/guides/usage-events) where needed.
5. Render a custom checkout or account UI inside the host iframe with the [MCP App integration guide](/sdks/typescript/guides/mcp-app).

## Verify

* Protected MCP tools require an eligible purchase
* Valid purchases allow tool execution
* Usage events are recorded for billable calls
