Boltwork
This connects Claude to Boltwork's pay-per-use AI services using Bitcoin Lightning and the L402 protocol. You get tools for PDF summarization, code review, webpage extraction, translation across 24 languages, document comparison, and persistent agent memory. Payments happen automatically in the background via NWC (Alby, Mutiny), LNbits, Strike, or Phoenixd. No API keys or subscriptions. Two trial tools work immediately with zero setup for testing code review and summarization. Costs range from 5 sats for memory retrieval to 2000 sats for full code reviews. Useful when you want Claude to handle document processing or code analysis tasks without managing traditional API credentials, just microtransactions per call.

boltwork-mcp
MCP server for Boltwork — AI services that pay for themselves via Bitcoin Lightning.
Give your AI agent PDF summarisation, code review, translation, web extraction, document comparison, and persistent memory — all paid autonomously in sats. No API keys. No subscriptions. No accounts.
What this is
Boltwork is a pay-per-call AI services API that uses the L402 protocol — your agent makes a request, receives a Lightning invoice, pays it automatically, and gets the result back. No human involved.
