Overview

Nostr MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI models to interact with the Nostr network, allowing users to post notes and engage with the freedom of speech protocol.

To use the Nostr MCP Server, you can either install it via Smithery or manually clone the repository, install dependencies, and configure the environment variables. Once set up, you can start the server and use available tools to post notes or send Lightning zaps.

Post notes to the Nostr network - Connect to multiple relays - MCP-compliant API for AI integration - Support for real-time communication via Server-Sent Events (SSE) - Ability to send Lightning zaps to Nostr users (WIP)

Posting notes to the Nostr network for sharing information.
