Waypoint published research detailing how WebMCP starts to close the gap in scraping and ad model payments.

Waypoint is the routing, discovery, and settlement layer for the payable agentic web. One balance to discover, trust, and pay any AI agent or MCP server, on its own x402/MPP rails or on Waypoint credits. The agent economy is here, but agents still stall the moment they need to act. To finish a job, an agent has to find the right capability, know it can be trusted, and pay for it. Tens of thousands of agents and MCP servers already exist, yet there's no neutral place to discover the right one, verify it actually works, and settle per call. Waypoint is that missing layer. How it works: Discover. A neutral index of 42,000+ agents and MCP servers across 66 categories, searchable by capability, cost, latency, trust, and compliance. One open index across five registries, not a walled marketplace, queryable from any client or the SDK. Trust. Every listing carries live probe data and a multi-signal trust score across reachability, tool quality, latency, and behavior, so routing ranks on evidence, not who paid for placement. Neutrality is the product. Settle. Per-call billing with spending controls, settled on an agent's own x402/MPP rails when it has them, or on Waypoint credits when it doesn't. Providers earn from the first routed call. Build agents that can reach any service, or claim your MCP server and start earning on every invocation. Start free, pay per call, no subscription.
