$750k SAFE · $6M cap

For investors

Raising $750k on a post-money SAFE at a $6M cap — the first outside money the company has taken, and it is being raised before launch rather than after traction. The economics are published on the site rather than in a deck; every figure below is marked counted from this catalogue or an assumption we chose.

Before the call. The SAFE itself and a short deck go out on request. There are no revenue numbers to send: nothing has been sold yet, and the catalogue below is the whole of what exists. The terms on the left are the whole of what is already decided; nothing about them is negotiated on a page.

On the call. Use of proceeds, the plan behind it and the risk register are gone through directly, under a mutual NDA. They are deliberately not published.

Diligence. One entity, one cap table, no debt and no prior round, so there is very little to unpick: incorporation, the cap table and the contracts open after the first conversation.

mcprush.com is the only entity — no operating company elsewhere, no holding structure above it and none planned. All intellectual property, every contract and the Stripe account money moves through belong to it.
The model

We sell other people's MCP servers and agent skills. A publisher sets their own price in one of three models and keeps 88%; we are merchant of record, so the charge, the VAT and the refund are ours, and every Friday each publisher's share moves into their Stripe Connect account. Buyers pay nothing for the marketplace and are billed for exactly one thing: Pro, at $9 a month.

Why this is not a directory

Almost everything in this category is a list: a searchable page of MCP servers with a GitHub link at the end of each row. A list is useful and costs nothing to run, which is why there are so many of them — and it is also the reason none of them can pay anybody. A directory can list a server. It cannot bill for one.

Between a listing and a publisher being paid there are seven things, and every one has to exist before the first dollar moves: identity and per-install keys, metering a buyer will accept as evidence, a budget cap that refuses a call rather than sending a larger invoice, one invoice across every publisher a buyer uses, refunds and chargeback defence, sales tax in every jurisdiction the charge lands in, and a payout that reaches a bank account on a schedule. We are the merchant of record for all of it; the publisher writes the server and keeps 88%.

That work is identical for every publisher — which is what makes it a platform rather than a feature, and what a list would have to become a payments company to copy. A publisher’s alternative is not another directory: it is a domain, a Stripe account and a weekend, repeated for every jurisdiction they sell into.

No TAM figure. Nobody knows what will be spent on agent tooling. This market is as large as the fraction of agent deployments that pay for a tool rather than write it, and everything here is arithmetic downstream of that.

Unit economics · assumption

What one paying install is worth

Worked at $19 a month, a price chosen for the arithmetic rather than read off the catalogue. Every figure below moves with that number and with nothing else.

Subscription

$19 a month · our 12% is $2.28 · $27.36 a year per install · the publisher receives $16.17 after cards. It recurs until the install ends.

Plan allowance

A plan includes a monthly call allowance, our 12% on the subscription. It follows use rather than headcount, a failed call bills nobody, and the buyer's cap is the ceiling — the half worth growing.

A real one100,00025,000$3.6M
A large one400,000100,000$14.5M
Multiplication, not a forecast: installs × $27.36, plus Pro at $9 an account with three seats in it and $3 for each seat past them, at six seats an account. It assumes an install that stays a full year — the assumption most worth attacking, since a fee that follows use stops the day the install does.
Defensibility

Three things that are hard to copy

The trust layer

Scanned on publish and on every release, grade published either way, and a tool description that changed since you installed it diffed word by word before the next call. The release history a diff needs cannot be started retroactively.

The two-sided catalogue

Buyers arrive for a catalogue worth searching; publishers arrive for the buyers, and the second side does not move until the first has. That ordering is the cost of entry rather than a feature — and the numbers behind it are shared in the room, not on a public page.

Merchant of record

Billing gets cheaper to build every year; tax registration and filing in every jurisdiction the fee is collected in does not. A publisher who leaves hands their buyer a second bill.

The counter to each of these — and the risk register they sit against — is in the material shared under NDA. Both exist; neither belongs on a public page.

Getting in touch

One route, and it is the same one everybody uses

There is no investor-relations inbox; inventing one would be the first false thing here. The contact page shows where a message lands and who reads it before you write.

About this page

Nothing here is an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, none of the figures on this page have been audited, and it is not a filing or a contract.
