Alby Bitcoin Payments

This MCP server connects AI assistants to Bitcoin Lightning wallets through Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC), enabling seamless cryptocurrency payments and wallet management. Built by Alby using TypeScript with their Lightning SDK, it provides tools for creating and paying invoices, checking balances, listing transactions, converting fiat to sats, parsing Lightning addresses, and fetching L402-protected resources. The implementation supports multiple transport modes (STDIO, HTTP, SSE) and can run both locally and as a hosted service, making it valuable for AI assistants that need to handle Bitcoin payments, process Lightning invoices, or integrate cryptocurrency functionality into workflows.
