Use them to run the server and work with invoices, offers, Lightning addresses, on-chain payments, balances, node details, channels, and payment records. A running phoenixd node and its HTTP password are required.

They explain what the server provides and the credentials and running node it needs, so an agent can configure the connection correctly before using payment tools.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00719	$0.00719

Security

Grade A, and why

phoenixd-mcp-server AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md

This file describes the phoenixd-mcp-server project for AI agents and automated tools.

What this project is

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects a phoenixd Bitcoin Lightning node to LLMs and AI agents. It exposes Lightning and on-chain Bitcoin payment capabilities as MCP tools that any compatible AI agent can call.

What AI agents can do with this server

Create and pay BOLT11 invoices (Lightning)
Create and pay BOLT12 offers (Lightning)
Pay Lightning Addresses ([email protected])
Send on-chain Bitcoin payments
Query wallet balance, node info, and channel state
List and retrieve incoming/outgoing payment history
Decode invoices and offers

How to run it

Requires a running phoenixd node. Then:

npx -y phoenixd-mcp-server

Environment variables:

HTTP_PASSWORD (required) — phoenixd HTTP API password
HTTP_HOST (default: 127.0.0.1)
HTTP_PORT (default: 9740)
HTTP_PROTOCOL (default: http)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
