ai.bolthub/mcp·v0.4.0·Other

The bolthub API marketplace, L402 gateways, and your other MCP servers, on one Lightning budget.

In-path gate · all MCP tools

Using bolthub in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts—before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Install the mcpindex gate (one command)

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | sh

Trust verdict · v1 advisory · method

NOT YET SCREENEDno verdict on file

Verdict not yet evaluated for this tool. The semantic screen takes adversarial cases first; coverage rolls out as the corpus expands (15/150 labels to graduation). The deterministic conformance probe is built but has not yet run on the public corpus, so a recorded verdict here is REVIEW or UNVERIFIED, never a clearing ALLOW. Until a verdict is recorded, an agent should treat this tool as not-yet-cleared and fall back to its own checks. Method: the eval, four-state verdict, honest limits.

Environment variables

LND_REST_HOST

LND REST API URL (recommended wallet; pair with LND_MACAROON). A wallet is optional — without one, free tools and marketplace search still work; paid calls return their payment challenge.

LND_MACAROON

secret

Hex-encoded macaroon for LND (use a pay-scoped macaroon in production). Required with LND_REST_HOST.

NWC_URI

secret

Nostr Wallet Connect string — easiest setup, works with CoinOS, Alby Hub, Zeus, and more. Alternative to LND.

LNBITS_URL

LNbits instance URL (pair with LNBITS_ADMIN_KEY). Alternative wallet.

LNBITS_ADMIN_KEY

secret

Admin API key for LNbits. Required with LNBITS_URL.

PHOENIXD_URL

Phoenixd HTTP API URL (pair with PHOENIXD_PASSWORD). Alternative wallet.

PHOENIXD_PASSWORD

secret

HTTP password for Phoenixd. Required with PHOENIXD_URL.

BUDGET_SATS

Maximum sats the server may spend per session (process lifetime), across ALL sources. Unset = unlimited; 0 = free tools only. The config file's budget.sat takes precedence.

BOLTHUB_AUTH_TOKEN

secret

Optional bolthub API token, used only by the deploy_node / node_status Node Launcher tools.
