This gives Claude a non-custodial Bitcoin Lightning wallet with instant payment capabilities. It exposes two protocol layers: L402 for Lightning Network APIs and X402 for USDC payments on Base as fallback. You get operator/agent hierarchies with spending limits, so you can spawn multiple agents with isolated budgets. The toolkit covers invoice creation and payment, keysend transfers, LNURL auth, webhook notifications, and Lightning address support. Particularly useful if you're building agents that need to pay for API access automatically or handle micropayments without manual intervention. The CLI works standalone for any agent framework, while MCP integration gives Claude Code and Cursor direct payment tools.
