How to give your AI agent a wallet:

1. Install Lightning Enable MCP server

2. Connect a Lightning wallet via NWC (Coinos, Alby, etc)

3. Set budget limits (max per request, max per session)

4. Point it at L402-protected APIs

Now Claude Code can:

- check_wallet_balance()

- pay_invoice(bolt11)

- access_l402_resource(url)

- create_invoice(amount)

The agent never "knows" it paid. It just requests data, the L402 proxy handles the invoice, and the MCP tool pays it automatically.
