sats4ai-mcp

33+ AI tools paid with Bitcoin Lightning. No signup, no API keys, no KYC.

A remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents access to image generation, video creation, text generation, speech, translation, image processing, OCR, audiobook conversion, email, SMS, voice cloning, and more — all paid per-use with Lightning Network micropayments.

Quick Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "url": "https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add sats4ai --transport http https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp

Cursor

Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "url": "https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

stdio proxy (legacy MCP clients)

For clients that don't support remote HTTP servers, use the bundled stdio proxy:

npx sats4ai-mcp

Or in your config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["sats4ai-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Any MCP Client

The server URL is:

https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp

This is a remote HTTP server — no local process, no dependencies, no installation needed.

Helper Tools

ToolDescription
list_modelsBrowse available AI models and pricing
get_model_pricingGet pricing for a specific model
create_paymentCreate a Lightning invoice for a service
check_payment_statusCheck if payment was received
check_job_statusPoll async jobs (video, 3D, audiobook)
get_job_resultGet completed job results
request_refundRequest a refund for a failed service
vote_on_serviceUpvote or downvote a planned service
list_planned_servicesSee upcoming services and vote

How It Works

  1. Agent calls list_models to discover available models and pricing
  2. Agent calls create_payment — gets a Lightning invoice
  3. Payment is made via the agent's Lightning wallet (e.g., lightning-wallet-mcp)
  4. Agent calls the tool (e.g., image, text) with the paymentId
  5. Result is returned — base64 image, text, URL, etc.

No API keys. No accounts. No rate limits tied to identity. Just Bitcoin and AI.

Payment via Agent Wallets

Pair with a Lightning wallet MCP server so your agent can pay autonomously:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "url": "https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp"
    },
    "lightning-wallet": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["lightning-wallet-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

The agent uses lightning-wallet to pay invoices from sats4ai, enabling fully autonomous AI tool usage.

L402 API

For direct HTTP integration without MCP, use the L402 API:

# Step 1: Request -> get 402 + Lightning invoice
curl -X POST https://sats4ai.com/api/l402/generate-image \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": {"prompt": "a cat in space"}}' -i

# Step 2: Pay the invoice with any Lightning wallet

# Step 3: Re-send with proof
curl -X POST https://sats4ai.com/api/l402/generate-image \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: L402 <macaroon>:<preimage>" \
  -d '{"input": {"prompt": "a cat in space"}}'

Service Discovery

Machine-readable endpoints for agent discovery:

# Full service catalog with pricing, quality benchmarks, and performance metadata
GET https://sats4ai.com/.well-known/l402-services

# MCP tool catalog with latency (p50/p95), reliability, and failure modes
GET https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp/discovery

# Semantic search — find tools by capability
GET https://sats4ai.com/api/discover?q=translate

# Per-service metadata with enums and input schemas
GET https://sats4ai.com/api/l402/{service}

Every paid tool includes performance metadata (latency p50/p95, reliability rating, known failure modes) so agents can make informed decisions about which tools to call and how long to wait.

Programmatic Usage

const { SERVER_URL, TOOLS, getClaudeConfig } = require("sats4ai-mcp");

console.log(SERVER_URL);       // "https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp"
console.log(TOOLS);            // ["image", "video", "text", ...]
console.log(getClaudeConfig()) // { mcpServers: { sats4ai: { url: "..." } } }
