 ## What is 402-mcp?

+402-mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI agents economic agency: the ability to discover, pay for, and consume L402 and other Lightning or ecash payment-gated APIs without human registration, API keys, or middlemen.
 
 It implements the client side of the L402 protocol: when an API responds with HTTP 402 (Payment Required), 402-mcp automatically parses the challenge, pays the Lightning invoice, stores the credential, and retries the request — all within a single tool call from the agent's perspective.

 ### l402-pay
 
-**Purpose:** Pay a specific Lightning invoice.
+**Purpose:** Pay a challenge that `l402-fetch` or `l402-discover` returned.
 
 **Parameters:**
-- `invoice` (string, required) — BOLT11 invoice to pay
-- `paymentMethod` (string, optional) — force a specific payer method
-- `challengeId` (string, optional) — ID from a previous `l402-discover` to associate the payment
+- `paymentHash` (string): payment hash of the cached challenge
+- `invoice`, `macaroon` (string, optional): only for an invoice that did not come from a challenge; the human must approve it through MCP elicitation, or it is refused
+- `method` (string, optional): `nwc`, `cashu`, `lnurlcash` or `human`
 
 **Returns:**
-- `paid` (boolean)
-- `preimage` (string) — payment proof
+- `paid` (boolean) and `paymentState` (`paid`, `failed`, `unknown` or `blocked`)
+- `credentialsStored` (boolean)
 - `method` (string) — which wallet paid

+### l402-reconcile
+
+**Purpose:** Resolve payments whose outcome is unknown.

+**Parameters:**
+- `paymentHash` (string, optional): omit to list unresolved payments
+- `preimage` (string, optional): settles the payment if it hashes to `paymentHash`
+- `abandon` (boolean, optional): stop tracking it; requires the human's approval through MCP elicitation
+
+**Behaviour:** Asks the wallet that made the payment (NWC `lookup_invoice`, the Cashu mint for a reserved melt, or the LNURLcash verify URL). Settled with a matching preimage clears it and stores the L402 credential; definitely failed clears it and releases reserved Cashu proofs.

 Agents can also discover paid APIs without knowing URLs upfront. The `l402-search` tool queries Nostr relays for kind 31402 service announcements — a decentralised registry of L402-enabled services. Discovered services may advertise multiple transport endpoints (clearnet HTTPS, Tor .onion, Handshake HNS domains).

-For HTTP transport (useful for remote agents or multi-client setups):
+Use stdio wherever the client can start a local process. The HTTP transport can spend from your wallet, so it refuses to start without a bearer token, and only answers requests whose `Host` header it recognises:

 ## Key Concepts
 
 - **L402** — an HTTP payment protocol where a server responds to unauthenticated requests with HTTP 402, a Lightning invoice, and a macaroon. The client pays the invoice, then sends `Authorization: L402 <macaroon>:<preimage>` to access the API.
 - **Economic agency** — the agent discovers a service, reads the price, pays the invoice, and retrieves the data, all within a single tool call. No human registration required.
-- **Safety cap** — `MAX_AUTO_PAY_SATS` sets the maximum any single autonomous payment can be. Above this limit, the agent asks for human approval. A rolling 60-second spend cap (`MAX_SPEND_PER_MINUTE_SATS`) prevents runaway spending.
+- **Spending limits**: `MAX_AUTO_PAY_SATS` is the most any single automatic payment can be; a dearer challenge is returned to the agent unpaid. Rolling 60-second and persisted 24-hour caps (`MAX_SPEND_PER_MINUTE_SATS`, `MAX_SPEND_PER_DAY_SATS`) stop runaway spending. The budget on the NWC connection itself is the real hard limit.
 - **Credential store** — paid macaroons are persisted locally and encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Subsequent requests to the same server reuse credentials rather than paying again.
 - **Credit balance** — many L402 servers (including toll-booth) grant a credit balance after payment. 402-mcp tracks and caches that balance so the agent can reason about remaining capacity.
 - **Service discovery** — agents can search for L402 services on Nostr relays by querying kind 31402 announcements, finding paid APIs by topic, capability, or payment method.
-- **Multi-transport** — discovered services may advertise multiple endpoints (HTTPS, Tor .onion, Handshake HNS). The agent selects the best transport by preference (default: onion > hns > https > http), filters by capability (e.g. .onion requires a Tor proxy), and falls back automatically on connection failure. Credentials are keyed by service pubkey, not URL origin, so a macaroon obtained via one transport works on any other.
+- **Multi-transport**: discovered services may advertise multiple endpoints (HTTPS, Tor .onion, Handshake HNS). The agent selects the best transport by preference (default: onion > hns > https > http), filters by capability (e.g. .onion requires a Tor proxy), and falls back automatically on connection failure. Credentials are keyed by service pubkey and bound to the transport origins they were bought through, so a macaroon obtained via one advertised transport works on the others, and is never sent to an origin it was not bought from.

-Pay a specific Lightning invoice directly. Tries payment methods in priority order: NWC, Cashu, human-in-the-loop. Use this when you have an invoice from a source other than `l402-fetch`, or when you want explicit control over the payment step.

+Four payer methods are tried in priority order:
 
 1. **NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect)** — fully autonomous. The agent pays invoices directly from a connected Lightning wallet via the NWC protocol. Configure with `NWC_URI_FILE`; raw bearer values are refused. No human interaction required.
 
 2. **Cashu** — fully autonomous. The agent melts ecash tokens to pay invoices. Configure with `CASHU_TOKENS` pointing to a token store file. No Lightning node required on the agent side.
 
-3. **Human-in-the-loop** — fallback when no autonomous payment method is configured or when a payment exceeds the `MAX_AUTO_PAY_SATS` cap. The agent presents a payment QR code and polls for settlement. Control returns to the agent once the human has paid.
+3. **LNURLcash**: fully autonomous. The agent melts LUD-25 bearer notes to pay invoices. Configure with `LNURLCASH_NOTES`.
+
+4. **Human-in-the-loop**: used when no autonomous payment method is configured. The agent presents a payment QR code or payment page, and `l402-pay` confirms settlement where the server reports it (toll-booth does). It does not take over above `MAX_AUTO_PAY_SATS`: a dearer challenge is simply returned to the agent unpaid.
 
 The agent can override the payment method per-call, or you can configure only the methods you want available.

 - **IETF Payment** (`WWW-Authenticate: Payment`, `draft-ryan-httpauth-payment-01`) — alternative Lightning path; builds a base64url credential after payment.
 - **LNURLcash** (`X-LNURLcash: lnurlcashreq1…`, LUD-25): autonomous bearer-note payment; hands over a note worth exactly the price, splitting one at the mint if needed. Tried first: no Lightning hop and no swap at the mint.
 - **xCashu** (`X-Cashu: creqA…`, NUT-18) — autonomous ecash payment; selects and sends the exact token amount without a Lightning round-trip.
-- **x402** (`X-Payment-Required: x402`) — on-chain EVM payment; surfaces an EIP-681 deeplink to the human (no autonomous settlement).
+- **x402** (`X-Payment-Required: x402`), experimental: a custom format, not the x402 specification (whose servers send a base64 `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` header), so real x402 services are not supported.

 ## Safety Model
 
-Two safety primitives protect against runaway spending:
+These limits apply to every automatic payment:
+
+1. **`MAX_AUTO_PAY_SATS`** caps any single payment. A dearer challenge is returned to the agent unpaid; whether the agent then asks the human is up to the agent.
+2. **`maxCostSats`** on `l402-fetch` lowers that cap for one call, so a price shown in a preview is binding.
+3. **`MAX_SPEND_PER_MINUTE_SATS`** and **`MAX_SPEND_PER_DAY_SATS`** cap total spend over rolling 60-second and 24-hour windows; the daily window survives restarts. `0` blocks auto-pay.
+4. **Unknown outcomes** pause auto-pay to that service until `l402-reconcile` resolves them.
 
-1. **`MAX_AUTO_PAY_SATS`** — caps any single autonomous payment. Above this threshold, the agent must ask for human approval.
-2. **`MAX_SPEND_PER_MINUTE_SATS`** — rolling 60-second window cap across all payments. Prevents rapid successive payments from exceeding a total budget even if each individual payment is below the per-payment cap.
+All of these are enforced in software by this process. The budget set on the NWC connection in the wallet is the real hard limit.
 
 The human stays in control of three things: the safety caps, which payment methods are available, and credential visibility. The agent operates within those boundaries, not around them.

 - **SSRF protection** — all outbound requests pass through an SSRF guard that blocks private/internal IP ranges by default. Handshake names are resolved via DNS-over-HTTPS with the resolved IP validated against blocked ranges. .onion addresses bypass DNS and route through the configured SOCKS proxy. With `SOCKS_PROXY`, no host name is resolved locally; IP literals and local names are still refused. Wallet and relay traffic is not proxied. Set `SSRF_ALLOW_PRIVATE=true` only for local development.
 - **Credential encryption** — stored credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM. The encryption key is stored in the OS keychain when available, falling back to a file-based key with a warning.
-- **Settlement proof** — NWC responses are authenticated with NIP-44 v2 and signed events, then the returned preimage is verified against the challenged BOLT-11 payment hash before storage.
+- **Settlement proof**: NWC responses are authenticated with NIP-44 v2 and signed events. NWC and Cashu preimages are verified against the invoice's payment hash; a payment reported without a matching preimage is treated as an unknown outcome, not as unpaid.
