What is this MCP

This MCP server enables AI assistants to interact with Bitcoin Lightning wallets through the Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC) protocol. It provides tools for making payments, checking balances, and handling Lightning Network operations, allowing LLMs to perform Bitcoin transactions securely.

How to use this MCP

You can use this MCP in two ways: remotely via Alby's hosted server (SSE or HTTP Streamable) or locally via STDIO. For remote usage, provide your NWC connection secret as Bearer authentication or query parameter. For local usage, configure your AI client (like Claude Desktop, Goose, or Cline) to run the MCP server with your NWC connection string as an environment variable.

What this MCP can be used for

This MCP enables AI assistants to perform Bitcoin Lightning transactions, check wallet balances, create invoices, and handle LNURL/L402 payments. It can be used for paid AI services, microtransactions, tipping, or any scenario where an AI needs to interact with the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
