# Ploba

Ploba is a decentralized and managed AI Agent and MCP Server Marketplace. It is a discovery and distribution platform for AI software, empowering developers to monetize their AI apps, agents, APIs, plugins, and datasets while giving users access to a vibrant ecosystem of AI tools.

## Our Mission & Values
AI tools deserve a real distribution layer. They shouldn't live scattered across GitHub repos, Discord servers, and personal blogs. They should be discoverable, monetizable, and trustworthy. We handle billing, metering, licensing, and abuse prevention so builders can focus on building.
- **Trust through curation:** Every listing is reviewed before it goes live.
- **Open ecosystem:** Framework-agnostic and protocol-forward, built on open standards.
- **Creator-first economics:** Creators keep the majority of revenue.
- **Community accountability:** Reviews, ratings, and public creator profiles.

## For Developers
Publish and scale your AI agents globally. Ploba provides the infrastructure you wish existed: a curated marketplace, a metering API that integrates in minutes, and a credit wallet system that handles per-app usage billing transparently.

## Platform Features

- **Decentralized Economy:** Ploba features a robust virtual economy. Users can purchase subscriptions or top-up credit wallets to seamlessly pay for API/agent invocations.

- **Creator Profiles:** Developers and publishers have verified profiles, showcasing their products, websites, and GitHub repositories.
- **MCP Server Support:** We natively support Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, making it easy to discover and integrate new capabilities into your AI environment.
