Common questions

Is Maximum Sats 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (2.0.0) reached the registry 9 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.

What can I use instead?

Maximum Sats MCP Server

MCP server for Bitcoin AI tools and Nostr Web of Trust scoring. Pay-per-use via Lightning L402.

Why MaximumSats?

As MCP servers proliferate, a critical question emerges: How do we secure and monetize MCP API access in a decentralized way?

MaximumSats delivers:

  • L402 Payment Endpoints — Every API call can require payment in satoshis
  • Web of Trust (WoT) Scoring — Sybil-resistant reputation for Nostr users
  • Nostr ID Utilities — Decoding/encoding npub, note, nprofile, nevent, naddr, and more

Use Cases

  • Bounty Platforms — Pay hunters per task, prevent sybil with WoT
  • AI Agent Marketplaces — Monetize MCP tools per-call
  • Data Feeds — Secure oracle data with L402
  • Reputation Systems — WoT-powered trust scoring

Install

Security & Governance Features

MaximumSats is purpose-built for the Secure & Govern MCP track:

1. Paid API Access Control — One Payment, One Retry

Every endpoint can be gated behind payment. The L402 flow is simple:

# Request returns HTTP 402 with Lightning invoice

curl -X POST https://maximumsats.com/api/dvm \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"prompt":"hello"}'

Returns: {"error":"Payment required","payment_request":"lnbc21...","payment_hash":"abc123","amount_sats":21}

Pay the invoice in your Lightning wallet, then retry with payment_hash in Authorization header:

curl -X POST https://maximumsats.com/api/dvm \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: abc123" \ -d '{"prompt":"hello"}'

Returns: {"status":"success","data":{...}}

2. Sybil Resistance with WoT

The WoT endpoint scores Nostr pubkeys based on their network position — valuable for:

  • Bounty platforms preventing fake accounts
  • Voting systems needing sybil resistance
  • Reputation engines
curl https://maximumsats.com/api/wot/npub1...

Returns: {"score": 45, "rank": 1234, "percentile": 95.5}

3. No Middleman — Direct Lightning
  • Instant settlement on Lightning Network
  • No subscriptions, pay per request
  • Pseudonymous, no KYC required

Technical Implementation

MaximumSats uses the L402 protocol (Lightning HTTP 402):

// Challenge response includes invoice

{ status: 402, error: "Payment required", invoice: "lnbc...", amount_sats: 21 }

// After payment, include payment_hash in retry { status: 402, error: "Payment required", payment_hash: "abc123..." }

// Successful response after payment verification { status: 200, data: { ... } }

All payment flows through Lightning Network — no blockchain bloat.

APIs

Quick Examples

Get Started: One Payment, One Retry L402 Flow

The MaximumSats API uses L402 — here's exactly how to pay and get results:

# Step 1: Request (returns 402 with Lightning invoice)

curl -X POST "https://maximumsats.com/api/bolt11-decode" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"invoice":"lnbc1..."}'

Response: {"error":"Payment required","payment_request":"lnbc...","payment_hash":"abc123...","amount_sats":21}

Step 2: Pay the invoice in your Lightning wallet, then retry with payment_hash:

curl -X POST "https://maximumsats.com/api/bolt11-decode" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "Authorization: abc123..." \ -d '{"invoice":"lnbc1..."}'

Response: {"status":"success","data":{...}}

Check a user's reputation before paying a bounty
curl -s "https://wot.klabo.world/score/npub1..." | jq '.score'

Returns: {"score": 42, "rank": 1234, "percentile": 95.5}

Decode a Lightning invoice before payment
curl -X POST "https://maximumsats.com/api/bolt11-decode" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"invoice":"lnbc..."}'

Returns: amount, description_hash, expiry, payee pubkey

Verify a Nostr identity (NIP-05)
curl -X POST "https://maximumsats.com/api/nip05-verify" \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"identifier":"bob@nostr.com"}'

Returns: pubkey, valid boolean, relay hints
