What is the Liveauth MCP Server?

MCP server for LiveAuth: PoW + Lightning auth, L402 bundles, and paid MCP tool receipts.

The short version

This MCP server lets any AI agent authenticate against your API using proof-of-work (free, no account) or Lightning Network micropayments (sats), then meter and monetize subsequent tool calls with per-call pricing, idempotent revenue events, and HMAC-signed receipts that auditors can verify offline.

  • Stop bots at the protocol layer. PoW and Lightning sats are non-replayable, non-phishable, and don't require user accounts
  • Charge per call in sats. We sign a receipt you can show auditors, your customers, or your accountant
  • Wrap any MCP tool with one line (createMcpGate) and you get per-tool revenue, per-tool min/max pricing, and idempotent retries
  • Permissionless access to paid APIs — solve a PoW or pay sats, get a JWT. No signup, no email, no OAuth dance
  • Use PoW, Lightning invoices, or L402 bundle macaroons for agent access
  • Projects can settle through a custom Lightning node when configured; otherwise payments use the LiveAuthCore-configured node
