LNbits MCP Server
Give your AI assistant a Lightning wallet. The LNbits MCP Server connects any MCP-compatible AI client to your LNbits instance - check balances, create invoices, send payments, and manage extensions, all through natural language.
What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use external tools. Instead of copy-pasting API responses into a chat, MCP gives your AI direct access to your LNbits wallet. You talk naturally, the AI calls the right API endpoint, and you see the result - all in one conversation.
