Pricing
Self-hosting is free. The hosted service is cheap on purpose: a free tier with no card, then $1 a month for each step you add.

How billing works
- Monthly only.
- You choose fixed caps; nothing is metered. You are never billed more than you picked.
- Your account page marks a limit at 80% and shows a banner once it is reached.
- When storage is full, new commits are refused and pulls keep working.
- Over the request limit, commits are refused and reads continue, slowly, until the month resets.
- A token reaches one space only.
- Text files only.
Connect the CLI or MCP server
Sign in, create a space and a token on your account page, then point the CLI or MCP server at it. On your own machine, run slivingdoc login, approve it in the browser, and pick a default space withslivingdoc space. For CI and MCP host configuration, setSLIVINGDOC_TOKEN to a token instead. A token reaches one space; a login reaches every space of your account. The endpoint defaults to https://api.slivingdoc.dev. See Use hosted storage.
Questions
What counts as a request?
Every call your tools make to the hosted API counts; one pull or commit makes several.
What happens at the limit?
Your account page shows when you are close. At the storage limit, new commits are refused and pulls keep working. At the request limit, commits are refused and reads continue, slowly, until the month resets. You are never billed for going over.
Can I lower my caps?
Yes, on your billing page, as long as everything you use still fits: the spaces you own, the storage your notes take, and the requests made so far this month. The page names the smallest number that fits. A lower step applies at once and leaves a credit on your next invoice. Set every number to 0 to end the subscription; it runs to the end of the paid month, and then the free limits apply.
Can I self-host instead?
Yes, and it is free: the same CLI and MCP server, against your own bucket. See Set up a bucket and the Quickstart.
