Core Lightning MCP Server

A Rust-based gRPC server that provides a standardized interface to Core Lightning nodes. This server implements the MCP (Model Context Protocol) specification to enable control of the Core Lightning node using LLM.
- Download the appropriate binary for your platform from thelatest release
- Extract the archive:

# For Linux/macOS tar -xzf cln-mcp-<platform>.tar.gz # For Windows # Use your preferred zip extractor

- Rust 1.80 or higher
- Protocol Buffers Compiler (protoc)
- Core Lightning (with gRPC enabled)
- MCP clients (Claude,Goose, etc.)

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y protobuf-compiler

protoc --version # Should show version 3.0.0 or higher

git clone https://github.com/adi2011/cln-mcp.git cd cln-mcp

cln-mcp [OPTIONS] Options: --certs-dir <path> Path to certificates directory --node-address <url> Node address (default: https://localhost:9736) --help Shows help message

Add the--grpc-port(default: 9736) option while running CLN, and it'll automatically generate the appropriate mTLS certificates.

Copy the following PEM files from the Lightning directory to a separate directory:

- ca.pem: CA certificate
- client.pem: Client certificate
- client-key.pem: Client private key

- InstallClaude
- Go to settings -> Developer
- Edit Config

[ ] Enable it to derive parameters for the RPC calls
[ ] Choose the most appropriate and useful RPCs for maximum utility
[ ] Extend support for LND
[ ] Host multiple servers to make it more efficient
