AgenticBTC MCP
Connects AI agents to Bitcoin payment rails with owner-defined spending policies and limits.
README
AgenticBTC MCP
Connect an MCP-compatible AI agent to AgenticBTC owner-controlled payment policies and payment rails.
AgenticBTC is bring-your-own-rail infrastructure. Owners keep control of credentials and funds, give each agent a scoped key, and enforce spending limits before execution.

The browser demo moves no funds. It shows a $3 request being approved, a $50 request being blocked by a $10 limit, and the resulting audit reason.
Requirements
- Node.js 18 or newer
- A free AgenticBTC owner account and owner API key from agenticbtc.app
- An MCP-compatible client such as OpenClaw or Claude Desktop
- A connected payment rail only when you are ready to execute real payments
Install and verify
npx agenticbtc-mcp start
npx agenticbtc-mcp status
npx agenticbtc-mcp --help
The help command requires no account and is the safest first local check.
