Documentation Overview

Maximum Sats MCP Server

MCP server for Bitcoin AI tools and Nostr Web of Trust scoring. Pay-per-use via Lightning L402.

Why MaximumSats?

As MCP servers proliferate, a critical question emerges: How do we secure and monetize MCP API access in a decentralized way?

MaximumSats delivers:

L402 Payment Endpoints — Every API call can require payment in satoshis
Web of Trust (WoT) Scoring — Sybil-resistant reputation for Nostr users
Nostr ID Utilities — Decoding/encoding npub, note, nprofile, nevent, naddr, and more

Use Cases

Bounty Platforms — Pay hunters per task, prevent sybil with WoT
AI Agent Marketplaces — Monetize MCP tools per-call
Data Feeds — Secure oracle data with L402
Reputation Systems — WoT-powered trust scoring

Install

Terminal

npx maximumsats-mcp

Or add to your MCP client config:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maximumsats": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["maximumsats-mcp"]
    }
  }

Security & Governance Features

MaximumSats is purpose-built for the Secure & Govern MCP track:

1. Paid API Access Control — One Payment, One Retry

Every endpoint can be gated behind payment. The L402 flow is simple:

bash

# Request returns HTTP 402 with Lightning invoice
curl -X POST https://maximumsats.com/api/dvm \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"hello"}'
# Returns: {"error":"Payment required","payment_request":"lnbc21...","payment_hash":"abc123","amount_sats":21}

# Pay the invoice in your Lightning wallet, then retry with payment_hash in Authorization header:
curl -X POST https://maximumsats.com/api/dvm \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: abc123" \
  -d '{"prompt":"hello"}'
# Returns: {"status":"success","data":{...}}

2. Sybil Resistance with WoT

The WoT endpoint scores Nostr pubkeys based on their network position — valuable for:

Bounty platforms preventing fake accounts
Voting systems needing sybil resistance
Reputation engines

Terminal

curl https://maximumsats.com/api/wot/npub1...
# Returns: {"score": 45, "rank": 1234, "percentile": 95.5}

3. No Middleman — Direct Lightning

Instant settlement on Lightning Network
No subscriptions, pay per request
Pseudonymous, no KYC required

Technical Implementation

MaximumSats uses the L402 protocol (Lightning HTTP 402):

javascript

// Challenge response includes invoice
{ status: 402, error: "Payment required", invoice: "lnbc...", amount_sats: 21 }

// After payment, include payment_hash in retry
{ status: 402, error: "Payment required", payment_hash: "abc123..." }

// Successful response after payment verification
{ status: 200, data: { ... } }

All payment flows through Lightning Network — no blockchain bloat.

  -d '{"invoice":"lnbc1..."}'

# Response: {"status":"success","data":{...}}

Check a user's reputation before paying a bounty

Terminal

curl -s "https://wot.klabo.world/score/npub1..." | jq '.score'
# Returns: {"score": 42, "rank": 1234, "percentile": 95.5}

Decode a Lightning invoice before payment

Terminal

curl -X POST "https://maximumsats.com/api/bolt11-decode" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"invoice":"lnbc..."}'
# Returns: amount, description_hash, expiry, payee pubkey

Verify a Nostr identity (NIP-05)

Terminal

curl -X POST "https://maximumsats.com/api/nip05-verify" \
