Traditional payment rails require government IDs, bank accounts, and manual enrollment, none of which work for autonomous software. Lightning Agent Tools bridges this gap by giving agents native access to the Lightning Network, a decentralized payment protocol capable of instant, high-volume transactions with no identity requirements. The toolkit consists of seven composable skills and an MCP server. Together they let an agent run a Lightning node, pay for resources on the web using the L402 protocol, host its own paid API endpoints, manage scoped credentials, and query node state through the Model Context Protocol. The skills work with any agent framework that can execute shell commands: Claude Code, Codex, or your own tooling. The MCP server follows the Model Context Protocol standard and works with any compatible client. The security model defaults to a remote signer architecture that keeps private keys on a separate machine, away from the agent's runtime environment. Install MCP server (zero-install, any MCP client): Full plugin (all 7 skills via Claude Code): From source (requires Go 1.24+): See Quick Start below for detailed setup options including environment variables, regtest mode, and the full commerce stack. How It Works The skills break down into three functional groups: Payment infrastructure.
