Lightning Wallet

Give your AI agent a Bitcoin wallet. MCP server + CLI. Works with Claude Code, OpenClaw, Cursor, and any agent framework.

Note: This package was previously published as lightning-faucet-mcp. The functionality is identical.

Free Sats Promotion

First 100 installs get 100 free sats — one per person!

npm i -g lightning-wallet-mcp
lw register --name "YourAgent"
lw deposit 100

We verify the invoice cryptographically and pay automatically. No trust required — the destination pubkey in the invoice proves it came from lw.

Protocol Auto-Detection - pay_l402_api seamlessly handles both L402 and X402
Webhooks - Real-time notifications for payments and events
Keysend - Send payments without invoices using node pubkeys
Invoice Decoding - Decode BOLT11 invoices before paying
Agent Analytics - Track spending patterns and usage

Why Lightning Wallet MCP?

Instant Payments - Lightning Network transactions settle in milliseconds
L402 + X402 Protocol Support - Access any paid API automatically (Lightning or USDC)
Operator/Agent Hierarchy - Manage multiple agents with spending limits
No Custody Risk - Each agent has isolated funds with operator oversight
Production Ready - Battle-tested infrastructure powering real transactions
Webhook Notifications - Get notified instantly when payments arrive
Full Observability - Analytics, exports, and detailed status tracking

Two Ways to Use

CLI (Any Agent Framework)

For CLI-first agents (OpenClaw, Pi, KiloCode, or any agent with Bash access):

npm install -g lightning-wallet-mcp

This installs the lw command:

# Register and save your API key
export LIGHTNING_WALLET_API_KEY=$(lw register --name "My Bot" | jq -r '.api_key')

# Check balance
lw balance | jq '.balance_sats'

# Pay an L402 API
lw pay-api "https://lightningfaucet.com/api/l402/fortune"

# Create and fund an agent
lw create-agent "Research Bot" --budget 5000
lw fund-agent 1 1000

# Check identity
lw whoami

Output is JSON by default (pipe to jq). Use --human for readable output.

Run lw help for all commands.

MCP Server (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf)

For MCP-native clients, configure as an MCP server:

Option A: Self-Registration

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

Then ask Claude: "Register a new Lightning Wallet operator account"

Option B: Pre-configured API Key

Get an API key at [lightningfaucet.com/ai-agents](https://lightni
