Claim this listing →Overview
Lightning Labs open-sourced this toolkit in February 2026 (lightning.engineering; The Block). It has seven skills: lnd, a remote-signer security module, macaroon-bakery for scoped credentials, lnget (an HTTP client that pays L402 invoices automatically), aperture (an L402 reverse proxy for paid endpoints), a commerce skill that runs buyer and seller workflows, and lightning-mcp-server. The MCP server has 18 read-only node tools over Lightning Node Connect and installs with 'npx -y @lightninglabs/lightning-mcp-server'. Lightning Labs' March 2026 post presents L402 as an agent payments protocol.

Self-reported rows are the project’s own words, dated when we recorded them — not a check. Only reproduced and reviewed rows carry a mark. None of these rows is a safety or quality rating.

This is the share of our daily checks that succeeded — not an availability guarantee. A check can fail because the host was down, because our runner timed out, or because the network in between dropped it, and only the first of those is a fact about this project. Failures are split by what we can attribute; anything we cannot attribute is counted, not hidden.
Last 30 days — to 2026-11-07, one point per UTC day
A gap is a day we have no attributable observation — never a zero. Thirty points is the whole shape the free layer carries; the daily rows behind it stay in the snapshot series.
