MCP tools · 12 exposed · ~1,224 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
l402_balance ~110

Returns the remaining Bitcoin Lightning budget for this MCP session. Use this before calling l402_fetch to confirm you have enough sats — avoids wasted attempts when budget is exhausted. Returns: '<remaining> sats remaining of <total> total (spent: <spent> sats)'. Read-only — does not trigger any payment or side effect. Budget is set at server startup via BUDGET_SATS (default: 1000 sats ≈ $0.60); to increase it, restart the MCP server.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

l402_fetch ~203

Fetch a URL that may require a Bitcoin Lightning payment (L402 protocol). Side effect: deducts sats from the session budget when a payment is required — check l402_balance first if budget is limited. Flow: sends request → if 402 received, pays the Lightning invoice (1 attempt) → retries once with payment proof → returns response body as text. Fails with error if: budget is exhausted, URL is unreachable, or the Lightning payment fails. Do NOT use for regular (non-L402) URLs — use a standard fetch tool instead. Do NOT use if l402_balance shows 0 sats remaining.

NameTypeReqDescription
bodystringRequest body as string (for POST/PUT requests)
headersobjectAdditional HTTP request headers as key-value pairs
methodstringHTTP method — GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH. Default: GET
urlstringyesThe URL to fetch (http or https)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

l402_set_budget ~104

Returns the session budget cap configured at startup (via BUDGET_SATS env var). Use this to confirm what hard spending limit is in effect — useful at the start of a session before making any API calls. Read-only: this tool CANNOT set or change the budget at runtime. To raise or lower the cap, stop and restart the MCP server with a different BUDGET_SATS value. For remaining balance during a session, use l402_balance instead.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

l402_spending_report ~113

Returns a full audit of all Bitcoin Lightning payments made in this MCP session. Includes: total sats spent, remaining budget, sats spent per domain, and chronological transaction list (timestamp + sats + URL). Use this instead of l402_balance when you need to know *which* APIs were called and *how much* each cost, not just the remaining balance. Read-only — does not trigger any payment or side effect. Returns '(none yet)' for domains and transactions if no payments have been made this session.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verity_btc_price ~71

Get real-time Bitcoin price in USD, EUR, and BRL via VERITY. Costs 10 sats per call. Returns: { bitcoin: { usd, eur, brl }, timestamp }. Use this instead of a free price API when you need a cryptographically billed, auditable data source.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verity_domain_intel ~93

Get WHOIS, DNS records, and SSL certificates for any domain via VERITY. Costs 500 sats. Returns: { domain, whois: { registrar, registered, expires }, dns: { a_records }, certificates }. Zero external API cost — uses RDAP, Cloudflare DNS, and crt.sh.

NameTypeReqDescription
domainstringyesDomain name (e.g. 'bitcoin.org', 'example.com')

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verity_integration ~133

Send VERITY a public GitHub repo URL and receive complete l402-kit integration code. Costs 10,000 sats (~$6). Returns: { integration: string (markdown with exact code), next_steps: string[] }. VERITY analyzes the codebase, detects framework (Express, FastAPI, Gin, Axum, etc.), and generates middleware code with exact file paths and line numbers. WARNING: This tool costs 10,000 sats. Check l402_balance first.

NameTypeReqDescription
repoUrlstringyesPublic GitHub repository URL (e.g. 'https://github.com/owner/repo')

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verity_scrape ~74

Scrape a public URL and return its content as clean markdown via VERITY. Costs 200 sats. Returns: { content: string, title: string }. Powered by Firecrawl. Use for extracting article content, documentation, or structured data.

NameTypeReqDescription
urlstringyesURL to scrape (must be publicly accessible)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verity_search ~68

Search the web and return top 10 organic results via VERITY. Costs 100 sats. Returns: { results: [{ title, link, snippet }] }. Powered by Serper API. Use for research, fact-checking, or link discovery.

NameTypeReqDescription
qstringyesSearch query

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verity_sentiment ~69

Analyze text sentiment with score, confidence, and keywords via VERITY. Costs 30 sats. Returns: { analysis: { sentiment: 'positive'|'negative'|'neutral', score, confidence, keywords } }. Powered by Claude Haiku.

NameTypeReqDescription
textstringyesText to analyze

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verity_summarize ~95

AI summarization of text up to 50,000 characters via VERITY. Costs 50 sats. Returns: { summary: string }. Language parameter is optional (default: english). Powered by Claude Haiku.

NameTypeReqDescription
languagestringOutput language (e.g. 'english', 'portuguese'). Default: english
textstringyesText to summarize (max 50,000 characters)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

verity_worldstate ~91

Get UTC time, caller geolocation, and local weather in a single call via VERITY. Costs 80 sats. Returns: { time: { utc, unix, hour, minute, weekday }, location: { city, country, timezone }, weather: { temperature_c, feels_like_c, humidity_pct, condition } }. Zero external API cost — uses Cloudflare geo headers + Open-Meteo.
