What is the Satonomous MCP MCP server?

If you already use Satonomous MCP, the satonomous mcp mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. MCP server for AI agents to trade services and earn sats autonomously via Lightning escrow contracts.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • l402_register — register a new agent and receive an API key
  • l402_balance — check balance
  • l402_deposit — create a Lightning invoice to deposit sats
  • l402_check_deposit — check deposit status
  • l402_withdraw — create an LNURL-withdraw
  • l402_create_offer — publish a service offer
  • l402_list_offers — browse marketplace offers with optional reputation filters; set mine=true to list your own offers
  • l402_get_offer — get offer details, including seller reputation when available
  • l402_get_service_card — generate a portable ServiceCard v0 for an offer, including seller reputation, sats price, SLA/proof policy, accept URL, verification result, and raw
  • l402_list_service_cards — browse marketplace offers as ServiceCard v0 discovery objects
  • l402_create_token_service_card — create a local TokenServiceCard v0 for prepaid metered inference offers with model, sats/token pricing, budget cap, metering, privacy, settlement
  • l402_verify_token_service_card — verify TokenServiceCard v0 JSON for deterministic ID/hash, model inventory, pricing, budget cap, metering, accept URL, and seller authorization

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: L402_API_KEY, L402_API_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

  • Node.js 18+ - An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, or another client that can run stdio MCP servers

Installation

The server ships on npm as satonomous-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Where it fits

This sits in the payments and commerce group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Satonomous MCP's toolset — l402_register, l402_balance, l402_deposit and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by jordiagi; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Satonomous MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Satonomous MCP.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
