Foresight News reports that Lightning Labs has open-sourced lightning-agent-tools, providing native Lightning Network payment capabilities for AI agents. It supports agent-native authentication without the need for credentials, API keys, or registration processes. The toolkit includes seven composable skills: running a Lightning node, isolating private keys via remote signers, creating scope credentials, paying L402 gated API fees, hosting paid endpoints, querying node status through MCP, and coordinating end-to-end buyer-seller workflows. These skills are compatible with any agent framework capable of executing shell commands, including Claude Code, Codex, or custom tools. Additionally, the release features the command-line HTTP client lnget, which supports the L402 protocol, enabling seamless access for intelligent agents to L402 gated APIs and content.
