Sats4AI and OpenClaw mascots high-fiving
OpenClaw + Bitcoin Lightning

AI Tools for Your OpenClaw Agent.
Pay with Lightning. Nothing Else.

No account. No API key. No credit card. Just pay and use.

Sats4AI gives your OpenClaw agent instant access to 25+ AI tools — image generation, text, video, music, TTS, transcription, 3D, and more. Connect in one line, pay per use with Bitcoin Lightning, and your agent is ready. Even if you only need it once.

Zero Friction. Truly Pay-Per-Use.

Most AI APIs require signup, credit cards, API keys, and monthly commitments. Sats4AI requires none of that. Your OpenClaw agent just pays a Lightning invoice and gets the result.

No Credit Card

No billing info, no recurring charges. Pay only when you use a tool.

No Account / Signup

No registration, no email, no password. Connect and go.

No API Key to Manage

No tokens to rotate, store, or leak. The Lightning payment is the auth.

One-Time Use is Fine

Need one image? One transcription? Pay for exactly that. No minimums.

Connect in 30 Seconds

Option 1: MCP Server

Add to your openclaw.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "url": "https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

That's it. Your agent gets 23+ tools instantly. No key, no config, no approval process.

Option 2: L402 + lnget

Hit our L402 endpoints directly — the agent pays the Lightning invoice automatically:

# Generate an image (defaults to best model)
lnget -X POST \
  https://sats4ai.com/api/l402/generate-image \
  -d '{"prompt":"A futuristic cityscape at sunset"}'

402 challenge, pay invoice, get result. Works with any L402-compatible wallet.

Give Your Agent a Lightning Wallet

Your OpenClaw agent needs a wallet to pay Lightning invoices. Here are three options — pick whichever fits your setup.

Easiest

Option A: Lightning Wallet MCP

A standalone wallet your agent controls via CLI or MCP. Works with OpenClaw, Claude Code, and Cursor.

1
Install: npm install -g lightning-wallet-mcp
2
Register: lw register --name "my-agent" — save the API key
3
Fund it: lw deposit 10000 — pay the invoice from any wallet
4
Pay invoices: lw pay <bolt11_invoice> or auto-pay L402 APIs with lw pay-api <url>

GitHub: lightning-wallet-mcp

MCP Native

Option B: Alby MCP Server

Connect your Alby Hub wallet to your agent via Nostr Wallet Connect. The agent gets pay, receive, and balance tools via MCP.

Add to your openclaw.json alongside Sats4AI:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sats4ai": {
      "url": "https://sats4ai.com/api/mcp"
    },
    "wallet": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getalby/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NWC_CONNECTION_STRING": "nostr+walletconnect://..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your NWC connection string from Alby Hub. Your agent can then pay invoices, check balance, and receive payments autonomously. GitHub: @getalby/mcp

L402 Native

Option C: lnget (Lightning Labs)

A CLI tool from Lightning Labs that auto-pays L402 APIs. When it hits a 402 response, it pays the invoice, caches the token, and retries — all automatically.

1
Clone: git clone https://github.com/lightninglabs/lightning-agent-tools
2
Install: skills/lnget/scripts/install.sh
3
Configure: lnget config init — supports LND, Lightning Node Connect, or embedded light wallet
4
Use: lnget --max-cost 500 -X POST https://sats4ai.com/api/l402/generate-image -d '...'

The --max-cost flag caps spending per request. GitHub: lightning-agent-tools

Complete Privacy for Your OpenClaw Agent

Most AI providers require identity to use their APIs. Sats4AI doesn't. Your OpenClaw agent operates with zero identity exposure — the Lightning payment is the only thing we see.

No Signup

No account, no email, no password. Nothing ties back to you.

No API Key

No tokens that can be leaked or traced. Payment is the credential.

No KYC / Identity

No identity verification, ever. Bitcoin preserves your privacy by design.

No Data Stored

We don't log prompts, outputs, or IPs. Your agent's work stays yours.

Frontier-Class Reasoning for Pennies

Your OpenClaw agent gets access to a frontier-class reasoning model that rivals top-tier models in coding, math, and complex reasoning. The difference? It costs a fraction of what those models charge. And you don't need to choose — just call the API and get the best model automatically.

~$0.006
per request (15 Sats min)
vs $0.03-0.15+ on OpenAI / Anthropic
100 char/Sat
dynamic pricing
pay proportional to output length
Frontier-Class
coding, math, reasoning
competitive with the most expensive models

For autonomous OpenClaw agents that make many calls, Sats4AI means you can run complex reasoning tasks all day for what a single request would cost elsewhere. No subscription, no commitment — just pay per use with Lightning.

How OpenClaw Agent Payments Work

1

Agent Requests a Tool

Your OpenClaw agent calls create_payment to get a Lightning invoice for the service it needs.

2

Pays with Lightning

The agent pays the invoice using its Lightning wallet. Instant, cheap, and completely private — no identity required.

3

Gets the Result

Payment confirmed, the agent receives the AI output — image, text, audio, video, or file. No account was ever created.

Why OpenClaw Agents Use Sats4AI

True Pay-Per-Use

Lightning micropayments mean your agent pays only for what it uses. No subscriptions, no prepaid credits, no minimums. Use it once or a thousand times.

Private by Design

No signup, no API key, no identity of any kind. Your agent stays anonymous. The Lightning payment is the only authentication.

Open Standards (MCP + L402)

Built on open protocols that OpenClaw natively supports. No vendor lock-in — works with any MCP client or L402-compatible wallet.
