Onchain agents on Bitcoin: 31 listings, 19 open source and 12 with a commit or release in the last 30 days; top Sato Scores: x402 (87), Bankr (87), AIBTC MCP Server (82), as of 2026-10-15.
Bitcoin is the awkward case for onchain agents, and honestly so: there is no general smart-contract layer to act through, so most tooling here reaches Bitcoin rather than runs on it — custody and signing, data and settlement, or bridges and layers built above the base chain.
Below is every directory listing that touches Bitcoin. Read the category on each carefully: what a listing does with Bitcoin varies far more than it does elsewhere.
MCP

Maestro MCP Server
ActiveOfficial Maestro Bitcoin MCP: indexer, mempool, price, and node RPC data via hosted mainnet/testnet endpoints.
Phantom MCP
ActivePhantom's MCP server that lets AI agents view addresses, sign transactions, swap, and transfer tokens across Solana, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Sui.
API / SDK
5 on BitcoinNEAR Intents 1Click API (+ MPP payment method)
ActiveCross-chain swap/settlement API solved by the NEAR Intents solver network; also an MPP payment method so agents pay 402s from any chain.
QuickNode
ActiveRPC infrastructure provider offering endpoints, Streams, and indexing tools across many blockchain networks.
Lightning pi
EarlyA small mainnet service paid with x402 over Lightning (lnbtc): digits of pi for 100 sats, with an agent SKILL.md and a Rust client.
LangChainBitcoin
EarlyLightning Labs toolkit giving LangChain agents Bitcoin/Lightning balance access and L402-authenticated API calls.
Bitrefill
ActiveCrypto-to-gift-card and mobile top-up commerce platform with a Skills/MCP/API surface for agents to buy real-world goods with stablecoins.
Data Tool
5 on BitcoinEruditePay Blockchain Intelligence
EarlyPay-per-call MCP for blockchain analytics — gas tracking, whale monitoring, wallet profiling — spanning Base, Bitcoin, and XRP Ledger.
SQD Portal MCP
ActiveOfficial MCP server from Subsquid (SQD) exposing its Portal API for querying onchain data across five chain families.
Swiss Whale Intelligence MCP
ActiveHosted MCP server for on-chain whale tracking and forensics across BTC, ETH, SOL, USDT, and tokenized gold.
Kirha Crypto
EarlyPay-per-use MCP gateway aggregating Dune, DefiLlama, Zerion, CoinGecko, and Cielo for agent-facing crypto data.
Glassnode
ActiveOnchain market metrics (MVRV, exchange flows, supply distribution) sold per call over x402, no API key.
Payment Rail
4 on Bitcoinx402
EarlyOpen HTTP 402 payment protocol, now at the x402 Foundation: agents pay per request in stablecoins, and by a newly merged spec, in bitcoin over Lightning.
Aperture (L402 proxy, Lightning Labs)
ActiveLightning Labs reverse proxy that puts any HTTP or gRPC API behind L402: Lightning invoices plus macaroon credentials, answered with HTTP 402.
Alby x402 Facilitator
EarlyMulti-tenant x402 facilitator for Lightning built on Nostr Wallet Connect. Predates the merged lnbtc spec and still advertises bip122.
Fewsats
UnknownL402 payments platform and MCP server letting agents pay for API access with Bitcoin Lightning or stablecoins.
Wallet Infrastructure
3 on BitcoinBankr
ActiveCrypto execution layer and cross-chain wallet that lets agents and users trade, bridge, and manage assets via natural language, plus a skills marketplace and an x402 cloud for spinning up pay-per-call agent endpoints.
Vultisig
ActiveSeedless MPC wallet whose vaults are programmable by agents through a TypeScript SDK, a CLI and an MCP server, across 36+ chains.
Open Wallet Standard (OWS)
ActiveOpen, local-first standard + CLI/SDK for agent wallets: encrypted keystore, policy checks before signing, scoped tokens instead of keys.
Skill Repo
2 on BitcoinEmblem Agent Skills
EarlySkill collection for EmblemAI agents — 200+ crypto tools across seven blockchains.
Lightning Agent Tools (Lightning Labs)
ActiveLightning Labs' agent toolkit: 7 skills + MCP server to run an lnd node, pay L402 APIs (lnget), host paid endpoints (aperture), scope keys.

QuestionsWhat people ask about this pageShowHide
Questions people ask about agents on Bitcoin
- How many onchain agent tools support Bitcoin?
- 31 live listings declare Bitcoin support as of 2026-10-15, across 8 categories — largest first: mcp 10, api / sdk 5, data tool 5, payment rail 4. A declaration is what the project states; Sato Hub records it rather than testing every chain.
- Which Bitcoin tools can an agent install without reading a README?
- 18 of the 31 carry a sato.deploy manifest — runtime, install, entry, what you must supply — readable over MCP as onchain_agent_get_deploy_spec or from the free export. A missing manifest means no record, not that a project cannot be installed.
- Is a listing on this page safe to point a funded wallet at?
- That is not a question this page answers, and no page on Sato Hub answers it. The Sato Score beside each listing is a 0–100 reading of how open, active and verifiable the project is — 31 of the 31 carry one. It is not a security review, an audit, or a statement about returns.
- Which of these are open source?
- 19 of 31: x402, AIBTC MCP Server, Lightning Wallet MCP, Bitcoin MCP (Bortlesboat), NEAR Shade Agent Framework, Open Wallet Standard (OWS), MistTrack MCP, Emblem Agent Skills, Aperture (L402 proxy, Lightning Labs), Alby MCP, BSV MCP, SQD Portal MCP and others.
- Which are actively maintained?
- 12 had a commit or release in the last 30 days: x402, Bankr, AIBTC MCP Server, Lightning Wallet MCP, Bitcoin MCP (Bortlesboat), NEAR Intents 1Click API (+ MPP payment method), Vultisig, NEAR Shade Agent Framework, Open Wallet Standard (OWS), Aperture (L402 proxy, Lightning Labs), Alby MCP, SQD Portal MCP. Posts on X do not count. Activity is a recency signal, not a quality judgment.
- Which have an earned verification on Sato Hub?
- 11: x402, Bankr, AIBTC MCP Server, Lightning Wallet MCP, Bitcoin MCP (Bortlesboat), MistTrack MCP, Emblem Agent Skills, EruditePay Blockchain Intelligence, Rootstock MCP Server, ChangeNOW MCP, Phantom MCP. An earned check is named as what was checked (install reproduced, endpoint probed, on-chain identity read, reviewed against evidence); none is a safety claim.
- Which run as MCP servers?
- 13: AIBTC MCP Server, Lightning Wallet MCP, Bitcoin MCP (Bortlesboat), Open Wallet Standard (OWS), Emblem Agent Skills, Alby MCP, BSV MCP, Lightning Agent Tools (Lightning Labs), Rootstock MCP Server, LNbits MCP, ChangeNOW MCP, Maestro MCP Server and others.
- How is this list ranked?
- Onchain agents on Bitcoin is derived from Sato Hub's live records by a stated rule and ordered by Sato Score, a 0–100 measure of how open, active and verifiable each project is. It is not a quality ranking and declares no winner.
