About AbdelStark/bitcoin-mcp
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI models to interact with Bitcoin and Lightning Network. It allows AI agents to generate key pairs (address, public key, private key WIF), validate Bitcoin addresses, decode raw transactions into human-readable format, query blockchain data (latest block details, transaction info by TXID), and perform Lightning Network operations (decode BOLT11 invoices, pay invoices via LNBits wallet). The server integrates with Claude Desktop and Goose, and is available as an open-source npm package for easy setup with npx.
