sats4ai-mcp

The permissionless communication supercharger for AI agents. 40+ tools paid with Bitcoin Lightning. No signup, no API keys, no KYC.

A remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents access to AI phone calls in any language, voice in 602 languages, translation across 119, fax, SMS, transcription, audiobooks, image generation, music, document extraction, and more — all paid per-use with Lightning Network micropayments.

Quick Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "url": "https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add sats4ai --transport http https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp

Verify the connection: ask the agent "list the first 3 Sats4AI models" — it should call list_models and return results. For agents that pay invoices autonomously, also add a Lightning wallet MCP (see Payment via Agent Wallets).

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Edit Config, then add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "url": "https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Cursor. In a new chat, ask "what Sats4AI tools are available?" to confirm tool discovery. For autonomous payments, pair with a Lightning wallet MCP (see Payment via Agent Wallets).

Windsurf

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (create it if missing). Important: Windsurf uses serverUrl (not url) for remote HTTP MCP servers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "serverUrl": "https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Windsurf. Sats4AI tools appear in the Cascade tool list. Cascade has a 100-tool cap across all MCPs, so keep the active set lean. For autonomous payments, pair with a Lightning wallet MCP (see Payment via Agent Wallets).

stdio proxy (legacy MCP clients)

For clients that don't support remote HTTP servers, use the bundled stdio proxy:

npx sats4ai-mcp

Or in your config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["sats4ai-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Any MCP Client

The server URL is:

https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp

This is a remote HTTP server — no local process, no dependencies, no installation needed.
