Icypeas is bring-your-own-key: usage is billed by the API provider you supply a key for. Auth: api key required. Sendmux Sdk is listed as freemium — a free tier with paid plans. Auth: oauth 2.0. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add icypeas and sendmux-sendmux-sdk as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
