> "lightning-agent-tools: how Lightning Labs is turning LND nodes into infrastructure for autonomous AI payments (L402, lnget, Aperture, MCP)

Lightning Labs open-sourced lightning-agent-tools in February 2026 — a toolkit for AI agents to transact autonomously on Lightning. The technical stack: lnget — like curl but Lightning-aware. Detects HTTP 402 responses, pays the invoice, caches the macaroon, retries. Fully automatic. Aperture — reverse proxy that turns any API into a pay-per-use Lightning endpoint. Full agent-to-agent commerce loop. Remote signing — keys live on a separate signer machine. Agent handles payments but never touches private keys. Scoped macaroons — cryptographic spend limits"
