How is billing handled for Dataslayer MCP usage?

Dataslayer MCP is billed through your Dataslayer plan and destination selection. There are no separate setup fees or per-message charges.

Option 1: Buy MCP as a standalone destination

Select MCP as your destination when choosing your Dataslayer plan. This option is designed for teams that want to use Dataslayer exclusively to connect their AI tools to marketing data.

Standalone MCP includes unlimited messages on the following plans:

Starter: €29/month, billed annually
Advanced: €99/month, billed annually
Pro: €299/month, billed annually
Business: Custom pricing

Your plan determines the number of connectors, users, accounts per connector, and other included capabilities.

Option 2: Use MCP included with another destination

From the Advanced plan upwards, Dataslayer MCP is included at no additional cost when you subscribe to another Dataslayer destination.

This option includes:

100 MCP messages per month
Access to the connectors covered by the destination you selected
No separate MCP charge on your Dataslayer invoice

Existing customers who already use MCP through another destination can continue using their current setup under the applicable plan conditions.

AI provider costs are separate

While Dataslayer MCP access is managed through your Dataslayer subscription, the AI provider you connect may have its own pricing or licensing requirements:

Copilot Studio: Requires Microsoft 365 Copilot / Copilot Studio licensing (tenant Copilot Credits - pay-as-you-go or prepaid packs) - See Copilot Studio pricing
Claude Pro: $20/month (required for MCP) - See Claude pricing
ChatGPT Plus: $20/month (required for MCP) - See ChatGPT pricing
Gemini: Gemini access and any associated costs depend on the Gemini product and plan you use, such as Gemini Enterprise or Gemini CLI.
Mistral AI Free: $0/month (only provider with free MCP support) - See Mistral AI pricing
Custom (any MCP-compatible LLM): Cost depends on the client/model you choose - can be $0 with a local / self-hosted model

These costs are paid directly to the AI providers, not to Dataslayer.

Maintaining Access
