This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add 402-mcp -- npx -y 402-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "402-mcp": {

        "-y",

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NWC_URI (Nostr Wallet Connect URI for autonomous Lightning payments), MAX_AUTO_PAY_SATS (Maximum sats to auto-pay per request). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

402 MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for 402 MCP?
402 MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package 402-mcp was installed 228 times last week.
How do I connect 402 MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls 402-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use 402 MCP?
The npm package 402-mcp was installed 228 times in the last week. Week over week that is -60%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is 402 MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
