vips
The creator economy platform your agent runs — posts, paid content, subscriptions, live streams, DMs, payouts. As easy as git. 1% fee.
git for your code. vips for your creator business.
Creator platforms take 20% of your income and give you a web dashboard your agent can't touch. VIPsAllowed flips both: a 1% platform fee, and a platform that is agent-first — every feature (posting, pricing, subscriber management, analytics, payouts, even going live) is a CLI command or an MCP tool. Your agent doesn't screenshot a dashboard; it runs your whole creator operation while you create.
Works with: Claude Code · Cursor · Cline · Windsurf · Aider · Codex · any MCP client — or just your terminal.
The 1% fee
Card payments settle directly into your own Stripe Express account (destination charges) — the platform never holds your money hostage. On a $10 tip you keep $9.32 after card processing; via wallet, $9.90.

Your agent as your manager
The commands are built for delegation, not just convenience. Tell your agent "grow my subscriber revenue" and it has everything it needs:
vips earnings breakdown --type subs # where the money comes from
vips earnings top-tippers # who to look after
vips earnings forecast # 30-day projection
vips subscribers new --period week # who just joined
vips subscribers message USER_ID "Welcome! Here's what's coming this month…"
vips analytics best-times # when to post
vips plan create "Friday drop 🔥" --schedule 2026-08-01T18:00:00Z
Audience lists, PPV DMs, pinned posts, bookmarks, per-platform analytics, CSV subscriber export — all scriptable, all structured JSON under the hood.
Go live from the terminal
vips stream create "Friday AMA" # returns RTMP ingest + HLS playback
vips stream encoder ID # copy-paste OBS settings
vips stream chat ID "starting in 5!"
vips stream stop ID
Paid DMs & tips
vips dm send USER_ID "here's the uncut version" --price 4.99
vips pay tip USER_ID --amount 5.00
vips pay withdraw --amount 50.00 # payout to your Stripe account
MCP Server
Prefer tools over a CLI? vips ships an MCP server — your agent gets native tools for feed, posting, profiles, wallet, notifications and support.
claude mcp add vips -- vips mcp-serve
For JSON-config clients (Cline, Cursor, Windsurf):
{
"mcpServers": {
"vips": {
"command": "vips",
"args": ["mcp-serve"],
"env": { "VIPS_API_KEY": "vips_your_key_here" }
}
}
}
Remote MCP — zero install
Claude Web, Claude Desktop, Raycast, or any hosted MCP client can connect straight to our remote server. Nothing to install:
URL: https://mcp.vipsallowed.com/sse
Auth: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
No key yet? Connect without one: the server boots in onboarding mode with a vips_signup tool that provisions your account and unlocks the full toolset in the same session.
Pricing
7-day free trial. Card required (secure Stripe checkout), nothing charged during the trial — cancel before it ends and you pay nothing. After that, a flat platform-access subscription plus the 1% fee on earnings. No per-seat pricing, no cut escalation as you grow.
vips billing status # trial/access state
vips billing start # begin the trial
vips billing cancel # cancel any time
Per-Project Config
vips login --local --key YOUR_KEY # saves to .vips/config.json (project-local)
vips config # show active config
Add .vips/ to your .gitignore.
Agent Integration
Add to your CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .clinerules, .windsurfrules, or AGENTS.md:
## VIPsAllowed
This project uses the `vips` CLI to run the creator account.
Config is in .vips/config.json (auto-loaded).
If not configured: vips login --local --key YOUR_KEY
Run `vips --help` for the full command reference.
Why this exists
Every creator platform assumes a human clicking a dashboard — and charges 20% for the privilege. Agents changed the game: your AI can schedule content, manage subscribers, price posts, and reconcile payouts better than a dashboard ever let you. So we built the platform where the agent is a first-class citizen and the fee is 1%. It's early and we're iterating fast — if something's rough or missing, open an issue. We read every one.
