MCPay and Latch focus on payment wrapper patterns, Magpie, agent402, and mcpay.fun are payment-oriented MCP surfaces, Dock0 focuses on paid MCP tool hosting, Apiosk and Teleport expose paid API or payment MCP surfaces, Paddle MCP, Stripe MCP, and Cashfree are payment-platform-specific, RapidAPI and Zuplo-style tools are API monetization surfaces, and directories such as MSeeP, MCP.Directory, mcpservers.org, mcp.so, and MCP Marketplace help discovery. Synapse is the runtime rail for discover_services -> invoke_and_pay -> get_receipt. +``` + +## 2026-06-08 source-host update + +The 2026-06-08 four-platform probe did not produce an official Synapse citation.
