Salesforce is going to charge for their hosted MCP with Flex Credits

Starting in November, Salesforce is rolling out "Headless Toolkit," which means every agent (including anything using MCP or APIs) has to be registered with its own identity instead of riding on a user's login. Once registered, those agent actions get tracked as "Headless Platform Interactions" and billed through Flex Credits - pricing isn't locked in yet, it's TBA, but it's coming. New customers get 3 months to register agents after it launches, existing customers do it at renewal. Sandboxes/dev orgs are exempt from billing, only production counts. Someone in the comments raised a good point - this basically kills individual user-level OAuth for hosted MCP, since interactions now have to go through an "agent" service account instead.
