hi guys, anyone can help to answer on this? currently i am looking into pipedream connect which allow my application (Saas) to integrate with those MCP server that available. I try out the development environment to integrate the MCP server into my AI Agent and look good. now i need some info regarding this plan which is enable the pipedream connect in production… in the plan mention

• Auth for 100 external users
• $2 per additional user
is that mean for the first 100 user (external user id) it will be included, but after 100, every user connect to the MCP server, $2 will be charge additionally?

So let say my no.101 user (external user id) connect more than 2 mcp server (eg. discord, slack, hubspot and etc) … this will count as 1 user no matter how many MCP server connected, correct me if i am wrong?

In addition, any details on how to roughly calculate the usage cost if the user example like above i mention execute the AI Agent to run both of this MCP Server activity… (eg.usr input : AI please list to 10 contact from hubspots and send this list into discord channel)

anyone have this details please do let me know and thank you very much for the explanation…

That’s correct

In addition, any details on how to roughly calculate the usage cost if the user example like above i mention execute the AI Agent to run both of this MCP Server activity… (eg.usr input : AI please list to 10 contact from hubspots and send this list into discord channel)
Credits roughly map to tool calls, but it’s slightly nuanced — we don’t charge for any listing or configuration-related tool calls, just the actual executions related to the core task. There’s a bit more information in our docs here: Plans And Pricing - Pipedream

thank you for the reply… appreciate your help…
