Payments

One prepaid balance. Fund it where it suits you.

Every rail credits a single balance held in integer cents. Metered actions debit it only after the work is performed. Free tools remain available within quota, funded or not.

Website: card top-ups (all clients, required for ChatGPT)

Sign in at zensched.com/account and choose Add $5 / $25 / $50 / $100. Checkout is handled by Stripe on the website and credits post to your organization within about a minute. This is the only way to add credits when you use ZenSched from ChatGPT: the ChatGPT connector never sells or links to anything; when a paid tool needs funding it returns payment_required with feature_requires_funding: true and points you back to your account page.

Full MCP endpoint rails (Claude, Cursor, custom agents)

The full endpoint at https://mcp.zensched.com/mcp additionally exposes agent-driven funding:

x402: pay as you go

When a paid MCP tool needs funding, ZenSched returns a payment_required JSON result (not HTTP 402) with an x402 offer from billing_status; pay USDC on Base, then POST the paymentPayload to https://mcp.zensched.com/x402/settle (POST-only; GET is 404).

AP2: delegated mandates

Attach an agent payment mandate with billing_attach_ap2(intent_mandate). ZenSched enforces the stored mandate cap and expiry before debiting paid actions. This is the right rail when an operator delegates bounded spending to an agent.

Stripe from the agent

billing_attach_stripe returns a Checkout link for the operator to open, and billing_portal_link opens card and receipt management. Both create the same org-scoped Checkout as the website.

Useful billing tools

• account_get shows balance and funded state on every endpoint.

• usage_get(period) reports metered usage.
• Paid results include billing: { meter, units, unit_price }.
• billing.low_balance can be delivered by webhook once a threshold is crossed.
