What

Breez MCP server — exposes Lightning Network functionality to AI agents through the Breez SDK. Open source.

Why This Matters

Alternative to NWC for Lightning payments. Breez SDK is non-custodial and handles channel management automatically. Could be simpler to deploy than running our own Lightning node.

Compare With

  • NWC MCP (Nostr-native, requires existing wallet)
  • Alby MCP (custodial option, simpler but less sovereign)
  • Bitcoin Lightning Network MCP (lower level, key generation)

Evaluate

  • Compare Breez vs NWC vs running our own node
  • Pick the most sovereign option that's practical
  • Sovereignty check: non-custodial, but does it phone home?

Closing during the 2026-03-28 backlog burn-down.

Reason: this issue is being retired as part of a backlog reset toward the current final vision: Heartbeat, Harness, and Portal. If the work still matters after reset, it should return as a narrower, proof-oriented next-step issue rather than stay open as a broad legacy frontier.
