Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Sats4ai MCP Server Tools (53)
create_payment
Create a Lightning invoice to pay for one AI service call. Returns JSON: { paymentId, invoice (BOLT11), amount (sats), expiresAt }. Each payment covers exactly one tool call — call this once per operation. Typical flow: list_models → create_payment → check_payment_status → call tool. The invoice expires in 10 minutes. Call list_models first to discover modelId values. modelId is optional — omit it to use the default (best) model. Some tools require extra params at payment time because pricing depends on them: generate_text requires prompt (price = f(char count)); text_to_speech requires text (price = f(char count) by tier); transcribe_audio / transcribe_translate take durationMinutes (10 sats/min — declare your audio length, default 1); send_sms, place_call, ai_call require phoneNumber; generate_video requires duration, mode, generate_audio; animate_image requires duration (100 sats/sec); edit_image requires resolution (1K=200, 2K=300, 4K=450 sats); epub_to_audiobook requires characterCount (total text characters in the book — price is per-character by voice tier, minimum 500 sats). If required params are missing, the response includes an error with the missing field names.
check_payment_status
Check whether a Lightning invoice has been paid. Returns JSON: { paid, serviceUsed, refundAllowed, readyToUse, next } — readyToUse=true means paid, not yet consumed, and no refund queued; next says what to do. Call after create_payment to verify the user has paid before calling the target tool. Invoices expire after 10 minutes — if expired, create a new payment. Most MCP clients with a connected wallet pay instantly, so a single check is usually sufficient. This tool is free and does not require payment.
