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

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:

# 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

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):

// 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.

APIs

Quick Examples

Get Started: One Payment, One Retry L402 Flow

The MaximumSats API uses L402 — here's exactly how to pay and get results:

# Step 1: Request (returns 402 with Lightning invoice)
curl -X POST "https://maximumsats.com/api/bolt11-decode" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"invoice":"lnbc1..."}'

# Response: {"error":"Payment required","payment_request":"lnbc...","payment_hash":"abc123...","amount_sats":21}

# Step 2: Pay the invoice in your Lightning wallet, then retry with payment_hash:
curl -X POST "https://maximumsats.com/api/bolt11-decode" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: abc123..." \
  -d '{"invoice":"lnbc1..."}'

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

Check a user's reputation before paying a bounty

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

Decode a Lightning invoice before payment

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)

curl -X POST "https://maximumsats.com/api/nip05-verify" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"identifier":"bob@nostr.com"}'
# Returns: pubkey, valid boolean, relay hints
