OneBill Launches AI-First CPQ360.ai

OneBill Software announced CPQ360.ai, an AI-first configure-price-quote (CPQ) product designed to run on top of any billing platform to automate the quote-to-revenue lifecycle. CPQ360.ai enforces consistent pricing rules, margin guardrails, and approval logic for both human reps and AI agents, and delivers billing-ready terms through native connectors (Stripe is live). The product is API-first with built-in REST APIs, webhooks, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) access. It targets industries with high quoting complexity — telecom, hi-tech, manufacturing, and medical devices — and is intended to integrate with existing CRM, eSign, and billing stacks without requiring replacements.

Monetize MCP Servers in 10 Minutes

The post introduces mcp-billing-gateway, a reverse-proxy billing gateway that lets operators monetize MCP servers without changing their upstream code. The gateway handles authentication, per-call metering, Stripe subscription onboarding, prepaid credits, and x402 USDC payments on Base; it returns a 402 response when a caller lacks payment and forwards JSON‑RPC requests to the unchanged MCP server. The article provides a step-by-step walkthrough: register as an operator, register a server, configure pricing (per-call, subscription, or tiered), onboard callers, accept x402 crypto claims, and check revenue analytics. The author links to an interactive demo and SDK/demo repositories on GitHub and points to a live gateway endpoint hosted on Railway. Default revenue split is 85/15 (operator keeps 85%).
