Common questions

Is NostrPulse 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 (1.3.1) reached the registry 4 days 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.

⚡ NostrPulse (`nostrpulse-mcp`)

Autonomous Micropayments (Cashu eCash & NIP-61) and Guardrails for AI Agents

The Decentralized Stripe & Radar for Autonomous AI Agents via Nostr, Cashu eCash (NIP-61), and Model Context Protocol (MCP).

NostrPulse is an open-source payment and sovereign trust layer for autonomous AI agents, built on top of the Freedom Tech Stack (Nostr + Bitcoin Lightning + Cashu Chaumian eCash + Model Context Protocol). It provides Stripe-like settlement (M2M micro-payments via NIP-61 NutZaps) and Stripe Radar-grade anti-Sybil protection (Web-of-Trust graph distance + verifiable Economic Stake) for Cursor, Claude Desktop, and autonomous LLMs.

🤖 MCP Server for AI Agents (Stripe for AI)

NostrPulse natively exports an industry-standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) server over Stdio JSON-RPC. Any AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK) can instantly tap into decentralized reputation, machine-to-machine micropayments, and distributed compute without API keys or custodial accounts.

1. Zero-Code Quickstart (Cursor & Claude Desktop)

Paste this configuration directly into your claude_desktop_config.json or .cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "nostrpulse": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "nostrpulse-mcp"] } } }

Claude Desktop Config File Locations:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Cursor IDE: Save to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root, or add under *Cursor Settings > Features > MCP*.

2. Interactive Testing via MCP Inspector

Verify tools, examine schemas, and test prompts in the browser via the official Model Context Protocol Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx -y nostrpulse-mcp

3. Core MCP Tools Lookup Table

Tool Name	Type	Description
`check_trust_score`	Radar / Anti-Sybil	Anti-fraud radar for AI agents. Evaluates Web-of-Trust Ring-1 (22 Root Anchors), transitive hops, and Sybil-filtered Economic Stake (sats) before interacting or paying.
`pay_cashu_nutzap`	Payment Rails (eCash)	Instant machine-to-machine (M2M) settlement with Chaumian eCash (NIP-61 NutZap) wrapped in metadata-private NIP-59 Gift Wrap and NIP-44 encryption. Wrapped with pre-flight spending guardrails.
`request_nip90_job`	Decentralized Compute	Dispatches compute and data-processing tasks to decentralized NIP-90 Data Vending Machines (DVMs) across Nostr relays with local SQLite cache fallback.
`pay_lightning_nwc`	Payment Rails (Lightning)	Settle BOLT-11 Lightning invoices directly through an autonomous node via NIP-47 Nostr Wallet Connect (Alby Hub, Phoenixd, Umbrel) with spending guardrails.
`pay_with_nwc`	Payment Rails (Alias)	Direct NWC payment executor alias for `pay_lightning_nwc`.
`audit_cashu_mint`	Mint Radar	Audit and evaluate counterparty risk of a Cashu eCash Mint using Web-of-Trust graph distance, NIP-05 sovereign domain validation, and admin reputation.
`route_cashu_mint`	Mint Mesh	Dynamically discover and route to the highest-trust, lowest-latency Cashu Mint from the WoT-Gated Dynamic Mint Mesh.
`get_agent_identity`	Zero-Config Identity	Retrieve active autonomous AI agent cryptographic public identity (`pubkey`, `npub`, keystore source, ephemeral status). Automatically bootstraps local keys.
`get_spending_guardrails`	Budget Gatekeeper	Query current AI agent spending guardrails, daily budget (500 sats rolling), 24h satoshis spent, remaining allowance, and per-tx limits (50 sats).
`get_agent_telemetry`	Telemetry & Audit	Inspect autonomous agent spending metrics, rolling 24h budget allowance, blocked Sybil threats, and Stripe Radar-grade recent telemetry events.

4. Profiles for Small Language Models (SLMs: 500M – 1.5B)

For edge devices, local SLMs (e.g., Qwen 2.5 0.5B/1.5B via Ollama), or cost-sensitive agent loops, NostrPulse supports context-optimized profiles that reduce prompt overhead from ~2,200 tokens down to ~380 tokens:

# Launch with minimal profile (3 core tools: check_trust_score, pay_cashu_nutzap, get_spending_guardrails)

npx -y nostrpulse-mcp --profile=minimal

Or via environment variable

NOSTRPULSE_PROFILE=minimal npx -y nostrpulse-mcp

Profile	Active Tools	Token Footprint	Recommended Use Case
`minimal`	`check_trust_score`, `pay_cashu_nutzap`, `get_spending_guardrails`	~380 tokens	Local SLMs (0.5B – 1.5B), edge devices, low-cost loops
`radar`	`check_trust_score`, `audit_cashu_mint`	~240 tokens	Read-only anti-Sybil screening & Mint risk verification
`payment`	`pay_cashu_nutzap`, `pay_lightning_nwc`, `get_spending_guardrails`	~420 tokens	Payment-only execution daemons & bots
`full`	All 10 NostrPulse MCP tools	~2,200 tokens	Flagship LLMs (Claude 3.7/Opus, GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5)

5. Autonomous Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Collaborative Mesh

NostrPulse includes a reference implementation for autonomous agent-to-agent decentralized negotiation and micro-commerce (scripts/test-mesh-agent.ts):

[ Agent A: Requester / Buyer ]                   [ Agent B: Worker / Seller ]

│ │ ├──► 1. Dispatch NIP-90 Job ('zap-analytics') ──►│ │ │ │ 2. Audit Requester WoT Anti-Sybil Score ◄───┤ (Requires Trust Score > 40) │ (check_trust_score) │ │ │ │◄── 3. Acknowledge & Deliver Computation ───────┤ │ │ ├──► 4. Inspect Budget Guardrails (assert 24h) │ │ │ ├──► 5. Settle Cashu NutZap (Adaptive Fallback) ─►│

Zero-Cloud Local Inference: Run the showcase locally using Ollama (qwen2.5-coder:1.5b) without cloud API keys:

  npm exec tsx scripts/test-mesh-agent.ts --ollama

Adaptive Spending Fallback: If a requested micro-payment exceeds the rolling 24-hour spending limit, the agent automatically adapts down to the remaining safe allowance to settle minimum fees without crashing or overspending.

🌐 The Problem & The Freedom Solution

Open agentic systems and decentralized protocols eliminate platform lock-in, but introduce two critical vulnerabilities:

Agent Impersonation & Sybil Floods: Cryptographic keypairs (npub) cost $0 to generate, making spam bots, clone accounts, and wash-trading rampant.
Payment Fragility & KYC Lockouts: Legacy banking rails (Stripe/PayPal) freeze autonomous agents. Synchronous Lightning Zaps (NIP-57) fail when receiver nodes are offline or lack inbound liquidity channels.

Paradigm Shift

Vector	Legacy Web2 / Stripe	NostrPulse (Freedom Tech Stack)
Agent Identity	API keys, credit cards, KYC bans	Cryptographic Sovereign Keypairs (`NIP-01 / NIP-19`)
Anti-Fraud (Radar)	Centralized black-box heuristic rules	Web-of-Trust Ring-1 (22 Anchors) + Anti-Sybil Sats Stake
M2M Settlement	30% platform cuts, merchant holds	Chaumian eCash (NIP-61 NutZaps): Zero-fee, instant, private
Offline Delivery	Synchronous connection required	Asynchronous NutZaps via NIP-59 Gift Wrap & Relays
Compute Delegation	Proprietary cloud APIs	NIP-90 Data Vending Machines (Open Compute Marketplace)
AI Protocol	Custom vendor REST wrappers	Stdio JSON-RPC via Model Context Protocol (`nostrpulse-mcp`)
