The Model Context Protocol
L402's (1) macaroon-based authentication would fit naturally with MCP's server architecture. Since MCP servers already define their capabilities and handle tool-specific requests, adding L402 token validation would be straightforward - the server could check macaroon capabilities before executing tool requests. This could enable per-tool pricing and usage limits while maintaining MCP's clean separation between transport and tool implementation. The Aperture proxy could sit in front of MCP servers to handle the Lightning payment flow, making it relatively simple to monetize existing MCP tool servers without significant modifications to their core functionality.

Crypto is useful. A very long time ago there was a conversation about killer use cases. People on the ethereum side of the room thought programmable chains were it. People on the Bitcoin side said it was micropayments and script based post dating.
I said that it was likely paying for compute resources that would be a killer use case. Implementing 402s would be that manifest: https://github.com/lightninglabs/aperture
Now we’re moving deep into the AI markets, this will be a thing, combining both.
That said, con artists will still try to hustle others.
