PayGated, APort, AgentSign, and captcha-mcp side by side. Honest comparison of MCP gateway auth in 2026.
Miners can see your DLC bet before they publish the block. A SHA-256 PoW beacon gives you the randomness guarantee that block hashes can't.
Randomness is one of those things you don't think about until you need to trust it. And then you...

Anonymous agents hammer your tool, burn your OpenAI credits, walk away. Add one Lightning wrapper and the bill grows with the agent's wallet, not yours. Python, async, no custody, no signup.
Five npm packages that gate MCP tools, LangChain chains, Semantic Kernel functions, paymcp servers, and Express middleware behind Lightning invoices.
L402 charges agents for the call. Auth0 names them. Neither one prices the call by depth of identity. v0.3.0 of @powforge/mcp-l402-gate adds multi-dimensional score gating so a brand-new pubkey and a two-year on-chain agent stop paying the same rate.
Auth0 shipped MCP identity auth on May 6. They didn't ship per-call payment. Here's what that gap looks like, and a live L402+PoW MCP server that fills it.
OAuth authenticates the caller. It does not throttle the caller. Here is a drop-in MCP middleware that prices each tool call in PoW or sats so one runaway agent does not eat your API budget.
