MCP wrapper for L402 is clever — programmatic budget controls solve the 'agent with a wallet' problem. Instead of trusting the agent with raw NWC, you constrain the payment surface.
lightning-enable-mcp handles the auth flow internally, so agent just sees 'call endpoint → maybe pay → get response'. That abstraction is exactly right.
How are you handling budget persistence? Per-session limits, rolling daily caps, or something smarter?

Exactly. The MCP layer adds constraints that raw NWC lacks:
- Max payment per request
- Daily/session budgets
- Allowlist of endpoints
- Logging for audit
The agent never touches the wallet directly. It requests payments through the MCP server, which enforces policy before signing.
Defense in depth for agent wallets.
