bolthub MCP

The bolthub MCP server provides a unified entry point for AI agents to access the bolthub API marketplace, specific L402 gateways, and other MCP servers. It manages a shared Lightning budget for payments, allowing agents to search, inspect, and call APIs, with automatic handling of L402 payment challenges and retries.
