Fuel the people
building your AI tools.
One tip page for MCP servers, agents, CLIs and open-source libraries. Add a badge to your README, a link to your terminal — and send supporters straight to each maintainer's own PayPal, GitHub Sponsors or Ko-fi, with a fair split suggested.

Tip jars that live where devs already are
Supporters pay you on PayPal, GitHub Sponsors, Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, Open Collective, Patreon — or any link you choose. Fuel never holds a cent.
One line of Markdown. A crisp SVG badge that links to your Fuel page.
Drop a floating Fuel button on your docs or landing page. 2 KB, no deps.
Print a tip link after `--help`, or expose a support_author tool in your MCP server.
Set 60/25/15 between maintainers. Supporters see exactly who gets what and are walked through tipping each person.
Deep links carry the amount where the platform allows it — e.g. paypal.me/you/12USD or Open Collective ?amount=12.
Everyone gets their share — paid to them directly.
Define percentages once. When a supporter picks $20, Fuel shows who gets what and walks them through each contributor's own payment page, amount prefilled where possible. No middleman, no payout delays, no Fuel fee.
Pricing: free.
Fuel takes no cut — one-off or monthly. Money never passes through Fuel, so there's nothing for us to take a fee from.
- ✓ Tip page, README badge, widget, CLI & MCP links
- ✓ Multi-contributor split suggestions & “tip everyone” flow
- ✓ PayPal.me, GitHub Sponsors, Ko-fi, Buy Me a Coffee, Open Collective, Patreon, any URL, USDC
- ✓ Click analytics & thank-you wall
- • The payment service you use (PayPal, GitHub, Ko-fi…) still charges its own fees, per its terms.
- • A split is suggested: the supporter pays each contributor separately. Fuel can't split one payment.
- • Fuel can't see payments. We count clicks; thank-you notes are self-reported and marked unverified.
| Platform | One-off fee | Recurring fee | Embeds | Splits | Who holds the money |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fuel | 0% | 0% | Badge · widget · CLI · MCP | ✅ suggested % split | Never — goes to creators |
| Ko-fi | 0% | 0–5% | Button / widget | — | Your Ko-fi |
| Buy Me a Coffee | 5% | 5% | Button / widget | — | Your BMC |
| Patreon | — | 10% | Web only | — | Patreon |
| GitHub Sponsors | 0% | 0% | GitHub only | — | GitHub |
Platform fees only, as published by each platform; payment processing fees are extra everywhere. Fuel works alongside these — creators can list them as payout links.
