Common questions

Is Albyhub Admin MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: ALBYHUB_URL, ALBYHUB_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.2) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

albyhub-admin-mcp

Node-admin operations on your Alby Hub, exposed to an LLM agent. MCP server that wraps the Alby Hub HTTP API — read node info, balances, channels, NWC sub-wallets. Where NWC (nwc-mcp) ends (it's wallet-scoped), this server picks up: hub-wide on-chain balance, channel state, sub-wallet inventory.

v0.1 — defensive design. Alby Hub's admin API has evolved across versions and isn't publicly versioned in a stable way. So v0.1 ships one generic proxy tool that hits any path (the escape hatch) plus typed wrappers around a few well-established endpoints. If a typed wrapper's endpoint-guess fails against your Hub version, the proxy lets you discover the right path without re-shipping. v0.2 hardens the typed wrappers once smoke-tested against real Hubs.

The six tools

Tool	Method	Path	Purpose
`albyhub_proxy_request`	*	*	Generic HTTP proxy — escape hatch for any endpoint not yet wrapped.
`albyhub_confirm_request`	*	*	Two-step confirm dispatcher for proxy_request.
`albyhub_get_node_info`	GET	`/api/info`	Node identity, network, version.
`albyhub_get_balances`	GET	`/api/balances`	On-chain + Lightning aggregate balances.
`albyhub_list_apps`	GET	`/api/apps`	NWC connections (sub-wallets) provisioned on this hub.
`albyhub_list_channels`	GET	`/api/channels`	Lightning channels with status + capacities.

All typed wrappers are safe GETs. Non-GET behavior runs through albyhub_proxy_request, which is gated by ALBYHUB_READ_ONLY and ALBYHUB_REQUIRE_CONFIRM.

Requirements

Node 20+
A running Alby Hub instance (desktop app on http://localhost:8080, or self-hosted exposed somewhere)
An Alby Hub API token (Settings → Developer / Apps in the Hub UI)

Install

npx -y albyhub-admin-mcp

Configure

cp .env.example .env

edit .env: set ALBYHUB_URL (default http://localhost:8080) + ALBYHUB_TOKEN

Required

Var	Purpose
`ALBYHUB_URL`	Base URL of your Hub. Default `http://localhost:8080`. Use HTTPS if exposed remotely.
`ALBYHUB_TOKEN`	API access token. Full-scope tokens can drain the hub's on-chain balance — scope down or use ALBYHUB_READ_ONLY=true if your audience matters.

Optional safety knobs

Var	Default	Purpose
`ALBYHUB_READ_ONLY`	`false`	Refuse all non-GET requests via `proxy_request`. Strongly recommended for first-time setup.
`ALBYHUB_REQUIRE_CONFIRM`	`false`	Two-step confirm for non-GET requests.
`ALBYHUB_MAX_REQUESTS_PER_MINUTE`	`30`	Rolling 60s rate limit.
`ALBYHUB_LOG_PATH`	`./albyhub-admin-mcp.log`	Server log.
`ALBYHUB_AUDIT_PATH`	`./albyhub-admin-mcp-audit.log`	Append-only JSON-line audit log.

What if my Hub returns 404 on the typed wrappers?

The endpoint path probably differs in your Hub version. Use albyhub_proxy_request to probe — try /api/node, /info, /api/v1/info, etc. Once you find the right path, you can pin it in your usage (and ping the maintainer to fix the typed wrapper in v0.2).

agent: albyhub_proxy_request({ method: "GET", path: "/api/v1/info" })

→ { status: 200, body: { ... } } // found it

Safety model

The proxy tool's pipeline:

`ALBYHUB_READ_ONLY` gate — non-GET requests blocked outright.
Rate limit — rolling 60s window on the requests bucket.
`ALBYHUB_REQUIRE_CONFIRM` gate — non-GET requests return a token; albyhub_confirm_request executes.
HTTP request — Bearer auth, 15s timeout (override via timeout_ms).
Audit log — every attempt (ok / blocked / error) as one structured JSON line.

GET-only convenience wrappers skip steps 1 + 3 (they're safe by construction) but still go through rate limit + audit.

Companion servers

nwc-mcp — wallet ops via NIP-47. Use this for per-sub-wallet spend; use albyhub-admin-mcp for hub-wide / node-level operations.
nostr-ops-mcp — NOSTR identity + publishing.
marketplace-mcp — NIP-15 marketplace storefront.
