NostrPulse MCP server

Lets your AI check how trustworthy an online identity is and send small crypto payments on your behalf.

NostrPulse is a helper program that connects your AI assistant to a system built for paying and trusting other online accounts, including other AI agents. It is meant for people exploring crypto payments and reputation checks between machines, not for everyday office tasks. If you are curious about how AI agents could pay each other small amounts safely, this is a peek into that world.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program you add once, and it gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another service. This one connects your AI to NostrPulse, a network for checking trust scores and sending tiny crypto payments. Once it is set up, you can just ask your AI to do those things and it will use this helper behind the scenes.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like whether a certain online account can be trusted, or to send a small payment. Your AI passes that request to the NostrPulse helper running on your computer. The helper then talks to the Nostr network, checks reputation signals, or moves a small amount of digital cash. The result comes back to your AI, which explains it to you in the chat. There is also a spending limit built in so payments do not run away.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Can I trust this Nostr account before I reply?”, the NostrPulse MCP server connects it to Nostr network, and you get back A plain answer in your chat.

“How much has my agent spent in the last day, and what is left?”
“Audit this Cashu mint and tell me if it looks risky”

What it gives back to you

You get back plain answers in the chat: a trust score with a short explanation, a confirmation that a payment went through or failed, a spending summary, or a risk rating for a digital cash issuer. Some results include numbers like points, satoshis spent, or remaining allowance. Everything shows up as text you can read, not as files.
