Lightning MCP Server extends your AI assistant with the ability to build and configure the MCP server for Lightning Node Connect (LNC). Connects AI assistants to lnd nodes via encrypted WebSocket tunnels using pairing phrases β no direct network access or TLS certs needed. Read-only by default (18 tools for querying node state, channels, payments, invoices, peers, on-chain data). Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Lightning MCP Server as its underlying capability.
Lightning MCP Server works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Lightning MCP Server once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
Lightning MCP Server installs like any other MCP skill: drop the folder into `~/.claude/skills/lightning-mcp-server/` for global access, or `.claude/skills/lightning-mcp-server/` to keep it scoped to one project. After a quick restart of Claude, you can trigger it explicitly with `/lightning-mcp-server`, or let the AI decide when it's the right tool for your request.
Lightning MCP Server has been installed 1,049 times, making it one of the more actively used skills in the Marketing & Growth category. The install rate suggests it solves a real, recurring need rather than a niche edge case. Like all skills on DiscoverAISkills, it is free to install and use. The broader AI skills ecosystem continues to expand as developers contribute new capabilities across categories like developer tools, data analysis, writing, automation, and more.
Place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/lightning-mcp-server/ for personal use (all projects), or .claude/skills/lightning-mcp-server/ for project-specific use. Restart your AI client, then invoke with /lightning-mcp-server or let the AI discover it automatically.
Lightning MCP Server supports Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw. It integrates seamlessly with these AI platforms to extend their capabilities.
Lightning MCP Server is free to install. Check the repository for licensing information.
