MCP for AI Agents

Neutron MCP gives AI assistants and coding agents direct access to the Neutron API through the Model Context Protocol. Build Bitcoin payment flows with natural language.

What is MCP?

MCP is an open standard that lets AI models call external tools:

You: "Create a Lightning invoice for 10,000 sats"
AI:  [calls neutron_create_lightning_invoice]
     Here's your invoice: lnbc100n1p...

Who is it For?

Vibe coders -- Build payment features by describing what you want in Cursor, Windsurf, or Claude
AI agents -- Autonomous agents that send and receive Bitcoin
Prototypers -- Test API flows interactively before writing code
Developers -- Explore the API conversationally in Claude Desktop

Quick Setup

Add to your AI client's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "neutron": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["neutron-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NEUTRON_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "NEUTRON_API_SECRET": "your-api-secret",
        "NEUTRON_ACCOUNT_ID": "your-account-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client.
