LNbits MCP is an official, MIT-licensed open-source MCP server for LNbits, a self-hosted Lightning Network accounts and wallet system. It exposes tools for wallet operations (balance, transaction history), payments (create/pay invoices, Lightning address transfers, decode), extension features (LNURLp, TPoS, SatsPay, watch-only wallets), and admin functions gated behind admin credentials. An agent builder plugs it into a self-hosted LNbits instance over HTTPS to give an agent Lightning wallet and payment capability.

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. 46 of these checks predate 2026-09-01, when the probe counted a bot-block (HTTP 403) as a failure and recorded no reason for any failure. Every one of them passed, so the rate covers them too.
Last 30 days — to 2026-10-15, 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.
