Public sky
Pricing honesty
Every public Star and Constellation on the shelf shows a price pill — today that pill reads Free for all registered public capabilities. That label reflects the current catalog, not a promise that every skill stays free forever or that future commercial terms are fixed today.
Commerce direction (Wave 2)
When paid use lands, Orrery follows prepaid-wallet design: top up balance ahead of calls — not Stripe authorization on every MCP invocation. The hot path (gaze, resolve, hold, verify) stays off Stripe.
Start without a price gate
Discovery is public; the default MCP host needs no bearer. Point your harness at Orrery, gaze the shelf, resolve a record, and call the publisher — sealed Envelopes are the evidence layer, not a catalog description.
