Personal MCP connections use browser OAuth, so tenant secrets never enter a client. Enterprise server calls return exact cost headers and can apply per-user pricing.

Locus Pro Enterprise · Your margin

You buy at our price. You sell at yours.

Locus charges you a base price for every tool call. You add a markup and charge your user the total. Bill through your own Stripe, or let eligible hosted-checkout margin accrue for payout through Locus. Move the markup below to watch one real call reprice.

One search call, priced line by linetavily/search
What Locus charges you$0.0900
Your markup, at 30%+ $0.0270
What your user pays$0.1170

A bar split in two: $0.0900 is the base price Locus bills you and $0.0270 is the margin you keep, at a 30 percent markup.

Locus’s price$0.0900Your margin$0.0270
Drag to reprice the call

Sets your default markup, which any endpoint can override. The receipt, the bar and the monthly totals beside it all update as you move it.

What that adds up to

You keep $0.0270 every time this call runs. Over a month of them:

10,000 calls$270
100,000 calls$2,700
1,000,000 calls$27,000

Volumes are here for scale, not a forecast. What you keep per call is whatever markup you set, on every endpoint you enable.

Every call is a ledger row
Filterable by user, by tool, or by the attribution metadata you stamp on the call.
Per-endpoint overrides
The slider sets your default. Any endpoint can carry its own markup, and the price previews before it goes live.
You keep the whole margin
Collect the difference through your own billing flow, or let eligible Locus-hosted checkout margin accrue for payout.
Locus Pro Enterprise · Agent tools

3847 listings. One agent tool catalog.

16034 agent tools: 15539 cataloged operations across 3352 reviewed and marketplace providers, plus 495 live-quoted MPP and x402 tools. Ordinary provider tools start off: choose what you want to offer, see the Locus base price or pricing basis, and set your markup before users discover them. The capability router is labeled as system-managed when available.

  • Choose tools deliberately

    Ordinary provider tools stay unavailable until you enable them. Enable a provider at once or choose individual tools; the individual tool setting always wins. The capability router is system-managed when available.

  • Base prices before you commit

    Each tool shows an exact base price or a live pricing basis. Set a default markup, override it per tool, and preview the price your users will pay before it goes live.

  • One credential, every provider

    Your users never open a Tavily account or manage an OpenAI key. One Locus key reaches everything you have enabled, and the customer relationship stays yours.

Locus Pro Enterprise · How it works

How enterprise platform billing works.

Credits allocate, burn and settle on their own, so one prepaid balance takes the place of the provider accounts and the invoicing you would otherwise run yourself.

01

Pick your catalog and prices

Enable agent tools from the curated catalog with each current base price or live pricing basis visible. Set a default markup and per-tool overrides; exact effective prices preview when the base is known.

02

Your users hold credits

Fund your wholesale pool and allocate credits in your own denomination. Bill on your own Stripe at retail, or let users top up by card through the embedded widget.

03

Every call meters itself

Agents and apps burn credits at your price; the cost and remaining balance ride back in the response headers. An underfunded call returns 402 before anything happens.

04

Every burn is traceable

Calls rejected before provider execution or streaming acceptance release their held credits automatically. Each completed burn is a ledger row you can filter by user, tool, or the attribution metadata you set.

Locus Pro · Enterprise use cases

Four things platforms build with it.

Pick a use case to see the mechanics: usage-billed research tools, metered inference, priced MCP tools, or the embedded balance widget.

Never overdrawn

Burns are atomic against the balance. An underfunded call is refused before any money moves.

Of pre-acceptance failures100%

Release held credits

Non-streaming failures and streams rejected before upstream acceptance release held credits automatically. An accepted stream remains charged if the client later disconnects.

Charge per call, however many retries1

Idempotent by construction

Every burn requires an idempotency key; retries replay the original outcome instead of double-charging your users.

Locus Pro · EnterpriseStarts with an 8-week paid pilot
$5,000/ month minimum

A 12-month production agreement. The monthly platform fee is the greater of the $5,000 minimum or the marginal fee on provider cost; any unused minimum does not carry forward. No per-user or per-key fees.

Implementation pilot

An 8-week paid pilot validates the integration, economics, controls, and launch plan before production credentials are issued. Provider usage and payment-processing costs are separate.

Platform fee

The monthly platform fee is the greater of the $5,000 minimum or the marginal fee on provider cost: 5% of the first $100k, 4% of the next $400k, and 3% above $500k.

Agents spend at machine frequency

A runaway loop can burn a month of margin before anyone opens a dashboard, so the limit has to hold before the call rather than surface on the invoice. Locus Pro checks the balance and the end user’s policy on every request, against a budget per user, a ceiling on any single charge and a cap on calls per loop, then returns 402 instead of spending past it.

Every burn lands as a ledger row stamped with your own attribution metadata, so you can trace what a run cost back to the user or the job that caused it.

Agents execute freely. The limits hold.
