Tool inventory
Tools (3)
🔴lqwd_check_balance
Check your LQWD agent account profile. Returns your account tier, status, and registration date. Always free. Authenticate by sending the HTTP header `Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>` on MCP requests (where <your_api_key> is the `lqwd_...` key returned by lqwd_register).
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {},
"required": []
}🔴lqwd_check_channel_status
Check the status of an inbound channel LQWD granted to your node during registration. Returns the current state (pending, active, failed), funding txid (when confirmed), and balances. Only meaningful if you registered with pubkey+node_uri; agents without a channel grant will get a 'no active grant' response. Always free. Authenticate by sending the HTTP header `Authorization: Bearer <your_api_key>` on MCP requests (where <your_api_key> is the `lqwd_...` key returned by lqwd_register).
Input Schema
{
"type": "object",
"properties": {},
"required": []
}🔴lqwd_register(name, node_uri, pubkey)
Register a new AI agent account with LQWD. Returns an API key and, when you supply a Lightning node's pubkey + node_uri, a one-time inbound channel on mainnet as part of the tier-1 faucet grant. Always free; no authentication required — this tool is how you GET your API key. To receive an inbound channel from LQWD, pass `pubkey` AND `node_uri` together.
