by getAlby • Workflow & Task Management

An MCP server that exposes lightning address functionality and common Lightning Network tools to LLM agents for integrating Lightning features into workflows.

Example Use Cases

1
Resolve and interact with Lightning Network addresses (lnurl / lightning: style addresses) programmatically.
2
Perform common Lightning Network operations and queries (e.g., invoice creation/inspection) through MCP endpoints.
3
Integrate Lightning functionality into multi-tool workflows alongside NWC MCP Server support.

Description

Provides tools for interacting with lightning addresses and other common Lightning Network utilities via the MCP protocol, intended to be used by LLM agents. It integrates with the official MCP TypeScript SDK and can be added to Claude Desktop or Cline, or run from source. It works well alongside the NWC MCP Server to provide broader network capabilities. Note: the repository is deprecated in favor of the newer Alby MCP project.
