@powforge/captcha-mcp
An MCP server that wraps the PowForge CAPTCHA service to provide proof-of-work and Lightning payment-based authentication for AI agents. It replaces standard rate-limiting with machine-readable challenges, allowing agents to earn access via CPU computation or micro-payments without requiring accounts, emails, or API keys.
