Monetize your Code Analysis MCP server deep analysis is expensive to run. Stop running it free.

What an agent buys from a code-analysis server is a verdict it couldn't cheaply compute itself: why did this process crash, what does this stripped binary do, what breaks if I change this interface. The deeper the verdict, the more compute, tooling, and accumulated engineering went into producing it — and the more it's worth.

These are also low-substitute calls. An agent can grep on its own; it cannot casually stand up an Eclipse JDT workspace for the 63 semantic Java tools JavaLens exposes, or a WinDbg environment for dump forensics. Where self-service is impractical, per-call prices hold.

Tier by analysis depth. Syntactic checks — linting, formatting diagnostics of the kind pare-lint structures into typed JSON — are commodity calls at Loomal's $0.01 minimum. Semantic queries (find references, navigate symbols, type hierarchies) sit a notch up, a few cents, reflecting the indexed state you maintain.

Whole-artifact jobs are the premium tier: analyzing a crash dump, decompiling a binary, running a statistical model through a stata-mcp-style bridge, producing an architecture report. Each is a deliverable an engineer would spend an hour on; per-call prices from $0.25 to several dollars are rational. Price the verdict, not the CPU seconds.

Claim your listing from the index, verify ownership with your GitHub account, and the per-call price for each tool becomes a single editable field in the Loomal console. There's no billing system to build — the x402 middleware in front of your remote endpoint issues the HTTP 402 challenge and the facilitator settles each payment.

Paid calls return Ed25519-signed receipts with Base transaction hashes, and there are no chargebacks. Loomal's fee is 5% of settled transactions, currently waived — so early pricing experiments cost you nothing but attention.

Per-tool pricing turns your server into a portfolio. The console shows you paid call volume per tool, which is market research no free server ever gets: if agents keep paying for impact analysis but ignore symbol search, you've learned where to invest maintenance effort.

Many maintainers in this category will find one tool subsidizes the rest — the crash-dump analyzer, the decompiler, the regression engine. That's fine. Keep the long tail at the floor price for discoverability and let the flagship tool carry the revenue.
