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

🔐

Your money, your accounts

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.

🏷️

README badge

One line of Markdown. A crisp SVG badge that links to your Fuel page.

🧩

JS widget

Drop a floating Fuel button on your docs or landing page. 2 KB, no deps.

⌨️

CLI & MCP tip links

Print a tip link after `--help`, or expose a support_author tool in your MCP server.

🔀

Fair-split suggestions

Set 60/25/15 between maintainers. Supporters see exactly who gets what and are walked through tipping each person.

🔥

Amounts prefilled

Deep links carry the amount where the platform allows it — e.g. paypal.me/you/12USD or Open Collective ?amount=12.

Multi-contributor projects

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.

Chenyi · author$12 (60%) via PayPal

Ravi · rust core$5 (25%) via GitHub Sponsors

Sol · docs$3 (15%) via Ko-fi

$20 tip → 3 direct payments · $0 to Fuel

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.

Free, for everyone

0% platform fee

✓ Tip page, README badge, widget, CLI & MCP links
✓ Multi-contributor split suggestions & “tip everyone” flow

What to know

• 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.
