A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI agents to BTCPay Server, a self-hosted service for accepting Bitcoin and Lightning payments. It provides access to merchant payment and wallet-management operations.

It is for managing stores, invoices, refunds, pull payments, payment requests, webhooks, Lightning nodes, and wallet balances through BTCPay Server.

It lets an agent work with payment data and settings through BTCPay Server instead of requiring each operation to be performed manually.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add ThomsenDrake/btcpay-mcp --skill clawhub

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ThomsenDrake/btcpay-mcp

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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	$0.00037	$0.00644
Opus 5	$0.00018	$0.00322
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00129
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00064

Measured 9d ago against content hash 5fcc198de618, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-09, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

btcpay-mcp 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (publish.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Changes

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.
