Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Nwc MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

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 nwc-mcp -- npx -y nwc-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nwc-mcp": {

        "-y",
        "nwc-mcp"
      ],
      "command": "npx"

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: NWC_CONNECTION_STRING (Nostr Wallet Connect connection string (nostr+walletconnect://...)), NWC_DAILY_BUDGET_SATS (Daily spend cap in sats), NWC_READ_ONLY (Set true to block all spend tools). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Nwc MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Nwc MCP?
Nwc 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 nwc-mcp was installed 36 times last week.
How do I connect Nwc 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 nwc-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Nwc MCP?
The npm package nwc-mcp was installed 36 times in the last week. Week over week that is -30%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Nwc MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
