# ⚠️ DEPRECATED ⚠️

**Please use [Alby MCP](https://github.com/getAlby/mcp/) instead!** 

This repository has been deprecated in favor of Alby MCP, which includes all the NWC tools along with additional lightning tools.

# Lightning Tools MCP Server

Interact with lightning addresses and use other common lightning tools with your LLM. Works well combined with [NWC MCP Server](https://github.com/getAlby/nwc-mcp-server)

This MCP server uses the [official MCP TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk)
