Liveauth MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 95 installs a week from npm. Last commit 6 Oct 2026.
MCP server for LiveAuth: PoW + Lightning auth, L402 bundles, and paid MCP tool receipts.
Today is the operative word: we check Liveauth MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
