# Choose your path

> Choose between the CLI-first TypeScript SDK and Console-based Managed MCP.

Use this page to choose your primary integration path before you build.

## Decide in 10 seconds

* Choose **TypeScript SDK** if you want to add monetization in your own code.
* Choose **Managed MCP** if you want SolvaPay to host auth, checkout, and paywall enforcement for your MCP server. No code required.

## Quick comparison

| Feature               | TypeScript SDK            | Managed MCP           |
| --------------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------- |
| Code changes required | Yes                       | None                  |
| Fastest setup         | `npx solvapay init`       | Console setup         |
| Authentication        | Custom or OAuth           | OAuth (Google/GitHub) |
| Supported platforms   | Any API, MCP, or web app  | MCP servers only      |
| Hosting               | Your infrastructure       | Managed by SolvaPay   |
| Customization         | Full programmatic control | Configuration-based   |

## Path A: TypeScript SDK (recommended for developers)

For SDK integration, start with one command from your project root:

```bash theme={null}
npx solvapay init
```

This is the fastest way to authenticate, set your secret key, and install core SDK packages.
Use the SDK setup docs for full command behavior and framework-specific next steps.

### Get started

* [CLI setup](/sdks/typescript/setup/cli)
* [SDK quick start](/sdks/typescript/setup/quick-start)
* [TypeScript SDK introduction](/sdks/typescript/intro)

After CLI setup, create or confirm your product and plans in the Console:

* [Create your account](/get-started/create-account)
* [Create a product](/get-started/create-product)

## Path B: Managed MCP

Managed MCP is SolvaPay's managed auth and monetization path for MCP servers. You
keep ownership and hosting of your MCP server; SolvaPay sits in front of it as a reverse proxy and
handles OAuth, paywall enforcement, and billing.

### Choose this path if you:

* You want to launch quickly without code changes
* You are monetizing an MCP server
* You are comfortable with OAuth sign-in for end users

### Get started

* [Managed MCP overview](/no-code-mcp/overview)
* [Managed MCP quick start](/no-code-mcp/quick-start)
* [Create a Managed MCP product](/no-code-mcp/create-no-code-mcp-product)

## Can I use both?

Yes. Some teams use Managed MCP for MCP server access while using the SDK for web apps or APIs.
Both share the same plans, customers, and billing in your SolvaPay account.

## Using an AI coding agent?

Start with one command for guided integration in any compatible AI coding tool:

```bash theme={null}
npx skills add solvapay/skills
```

Use platform-specific setup only if you prefer Cursor- or Claude-native flows.
