Sell your AI API capacity on FreeTheAI
Have API capacity for AI models, a GPU server running open models, or a gateway with spare quota? List it on FreeTheAI. You connect your endpoint and set your prices; FreeTheAI brings the buyers, bills them, routes their requests, and pays you in crypto. Anyone can apply, and an AI agent like Claude Code or Codex can do the setup for you.
- Open to everyone: no invite or beta code
- Endpoints: OpenAI-, Anthropic-, or Gemini-compatible (New API, One API, One Hub, Done Hub, vLLM, Ollama, and similar)
- Fee: 15% of each sale
- Payouts: in crypto, after a 7-day hold (3 days with express payouts, for 3% more)
- AI agent setup: Seller MCP at
https://mcp.freetheai.org/seller
How selling works
- Create an account, then open Sell.
- Apply: paste your endpoint's base URL and API key, tell us who you are and how many requests a minute it can take, and accept the Seller Terms. FreeTheAI reads your model list and checks the key works.
- Your models arrive as drafts, with context and output limits filled in, and prices too when your endpoint lists them. The pricing helper shows each model's official price so you can set yours as a share of it.
- Submit the drafts. FreeTheAI reviews the application and each model, usually within a day.
- Approved models go live under a generated public name for your account. Buyers find them on each model's page beside other providers.
- You earn on every request. Earnings are held for 7 days, then you withdraw them in crypto.
Let your AI agent do it
The FreeTheAI Seller MCP server lets an AI agent run your seller account for you: apply, import your models, look up official prices, price and submit drafts, change prices, pause and resume, set limits, and check health and earnings. It works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any MCP client.
- Open AI agent access (sign in first).
- Make a token: name it, pick what it may do (read, manage models, endpoint key, payouts), and when it expires. If you are not a seller yet, tick the Seller Terms box so your agent can apply.
- Copy the setup prompt for your agent and paste it in. The token is already inside. Or run the one-line command yourself to keep the token out of the chat.
- Tell your agent what you want, for example: "Apply with my endpoint, import my models, and price each at 60% of the official price. Show me the list before you submit."
Claude Code, with your token in place of the placeholder:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user freetheai-seller https://mcp.freetheai.org/seller --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SELLER_MCP_TOKEN"Codex reads the token from an environment variable:
export FREETHEAI_SELLER_TOKEN=YOUR_SELLER_MCP_TOKEN
codex mcp add freetheai-seller --url https://mcp.freetheai.org/seller --bearer-token-env-var FREETHEAI_SELLER_TOKENCursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"freetheai-seller": {
"url": "https://mcp.freetheai.org/seller",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_SELLER_MCP_TOKEN" }
}
}
}Any other agent: paste this prompt.

Then call get_account and tell me my seller status and next steps. During setup, do not change anything on my account: no applying, editing, submitting, pausing, or payouts until I ask. Never ask me for my FreeTheAI password. If a tool needs an MFA code, ask me for it at that moment.Your agent asks before anything buyers can see: submitting models, raising prices, pausing. Changing the endpoint key or anything about payouts also needs a code from your authenticator app at that moment. Nothing can be deleted, and every change your agent makes is kept in each listing's change history. Regenerate or revoke a token at any time.
Fees and payouts
| Standard | Express payouts | |
|---|---|---|
| FreeTheAI fee per sale | 15% | 18% |
| Earnings withdrawable after | 7 days | 3 days |
- Buyers pay FreeTheAI; you never handle buyer payments, chargebacks, or support.
- Payouts are sent in crypto to one address you set (network and address). Setting it and asking for a payout both need two-factor authentication.
- Each payout is sent by hand and marked paid with its transaction hash.
- Fees can change for new requests; a rate agreed with you holds as agreed. Earnings already made never change. The Seller Terms have the details.
Pricing your models
- Per token: input and output prices per million tokens, plus an optional cache read price.
- Per request: one fixed price for each completed request.
- Per unit, for media models: per image, per second of video, per minute of audio, or per million characters of speech. Embeddings are priced per million input tokens.
- Free models: offer a model free with a daily limit per buyer, and optionally a per-minute limit and a daily total.
- A price cut takes effect at once. A rise takes effect 24 hours later, and buyers see the coming price meanwhile.
- Buyers' keys pick the cheapest provider by default, so a lower price wins more traffic. Low prices are always welcome.
Your limits, your capacity
Set how many requests each model takes at once, its requests per minute, and a daily spending cap. Full or failing models are skipped for other providers until they recover, and a new model gets a smaller share of its traffic until it proves itself. Pause any model, or all of them, whenever you need to.
What we ask of sellers
- Serve the model each listing names, at the limits it states.
- No advertising: listing names, descriptions, and replies carry no links, contact details, social handles, or your own brand. Advertising yourself ends the seller account and forfeits held earnings.
- Do not resell access that comes from FreeTheAI, and use one key on one seller account.
- A model whose key is refused or whose account runs out is paused until it passes a check again.
- The full rules are in the Seller Terms.
Privacy both ways
Buyers never see your name, company, website, endpoint, or brand, only the public name FreeTheAI gave your account. You never see who the buyers are. Buyers are told that sellers are independent third parties and that FreeTheAI does not promise zero data retention, so handle request content as the Seller Terms require.
Questions
Who can sell on FreeTheAI?
Anyone with an AI model API endpoint that is OpenAI-, Anthropic-, or Gemini-compatible and the right to resell it. No invite or beta code is needed.
What do I need to apply?
An account, your endpoint's base URL and API key, a contact email, and how many requests a minute your endpoint can take. Two-factor authentication is needed later, to set a payout address.
How much does FreeTheAI take?
15% of each sale, or 18% with express payouts. Buyers pay the price you set.
How and when do I get paid?
In crypto, to the address you set. Earnings become withdrawable 7 days after each request, or 3 days with express payouts.
Can an AI agent set everything up for me?
Yes. Make a token on the AI agent access page and paste the setup prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any MCP client. The agent can apply, import, price, and submit your models, and asks before anything buyers can see.
Can I sell free models?
Yes. A free model needs a daily limit per buyer, and you can add a per-minute limit and a daily total. You do not earn on free requests.
Will buyers know it is me?
No. Your models are sold under a public name FreeTheAI generates. Your name, company, website, and endpoint stay private.
Can I change my prices later?
Yes. Cuts apply at once; rises apply after 24 hours, with the coming price shown to buyers meanwhile.
