What is the Lightning Network MCP Server?

This server allows users to interact with their Lightning Network nodes using everyday language. It translates natural language queries into node operations and returns both human-readable summaries and structured JSON data for applications.

How to use the MCP Server?

Connect to your Lightning node (LND, Core Lightning or Eclair) via gRPC or Lightning Node Connect (LNC), then ask questions about your node's status, channels, invoices or routing in plain English.

Use Cases

Ideal for node operators who want simplified node monitoring, developers building Lightning applications, and researchers analyzing network data without deep technical knowledge of node APIs.

Key Features

Natural Language Interface
Query node data using conversational English instead of complex API commands
Dual Output Format
Get both human-readable summaries and machine-friendly JSON responses
Multi-Node Support
Works with LND, Core Lightning and Eclair nodes (some implementations in progress)
Tor Hidden Service Support
Secure connections to nodes running as Tor hidden services
Advantages
No need to learn complex Lightning node APIs
Simplified node monitoring for non-technical users
Structured output integrates easily with other applications
Secure remote access via Lightning Node Connect
Limitations
Currently supports limited query types (expanding regularly)
Requires initial technical setup for node connection
Natural language processing may occasionally misinterpret complex queries

Getting Started

Install dependencies
Ensure Node.js and npm are installed on your system
Configure connection
Set up your node connection details in the .env file
Start the server
Launch the MCP server in production mode
Connect via MCP Inspector
Test your setup using the official inspector tool

Example Queries

Channel Status Check
Quickly view all channels and their operational status
Node Connectivity
Identify your most connected peers
Routing Analysis
Understand your node's routing activity
