Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account donovanh for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server exposing Lightning Tools' pay-per-call AI tools, paid for with Bitcoin Lightning and an optional API key.

What you can do: Gives the assistant access to Lightning Tools' AI utilities, which are billed per call rather than by subscription.
Handles payment for those calls over Bitcoin Lightning, including buying credits through a buy_credits tool.
Uses an API key when one is supplied, so calls can be authenticated against the user's account.
Runs as a local stdio process on the user's machine, so no hosted endpoint is involved.
When to use it: Worth adding when you want an assistant to reach Lightning Tools' AI utilities and are comfortable paying per use in Bitcoin Lightning, either with an existing API key or by buying credits on the spot.
Requirements: Runs locally over stdio, installed from the npm package @lightning-tools/mcp-server, so Node.js is needed. An API key can be supplied through the LIGHTNING_TOOLS_API_KEY environment variable; it is described as optional because credits can be purchased through the buy_credits tool. Network access is required for the tool calls and payments.

Before you install

Calls cost money: the tools are pay-per-call and settled in Bitcoin Lightning, and the buy_credits tool can spend funds. The LIGHTNING_TOOLS_API_KEY secret is passed as an environment variable and should be kept out of logs and shared configuration. Tool calls and payment details go to the Lightning Tools service, a third party.
