Hosted MCPs

What is a Hosted MCP?

Most MCPs run locally on your machine via npx or a binary. That means each user has to install dependencies, manage tokens, and trust the script. Hosted MCPs run on Unyly's infrastructure: users connect via a single SSE URL and the server lives in our sandbox.

Why hosted?

• No local dependencies — works the moment you paste the URL
• Centralised auth — handle OAuth once, every user reuses the flow
• Fast updates — push a fix, every user gets it instantly
• Logs & observability for creators

Pricing for creators

Hosting is included in the standard 20% platform fee. There's no separate hosting bill — just publish, and your users connect.

How users connect

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "your-mcp": {
      "transport": "sse",
      "url": "https://api.unyly.org/run/your-mcp/<user-token>"
    }
  }
}
