Paid MCP is still an overlay, not a core MCP feature

MCP specifies how tools are described and invoked. It does not specify settlement. Cloudflare’s gateway, x402 challenge-handoff and MPP all propose to hang payment on the same tool call. Until the MCP spec itself names a payment profile, “paid MCP” remains a market category, not a single standard.
