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.
