Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http tollbooth-authority-northamerica 'https://tollbooth-authority-northamerica.fastmcp.app/mcp'{

Tollbooth Authority — North America
The North American on-ramp to the Lightning turnpike.
Identity:
npub1zummm5awn88kw2hz6deeyjprpw0fzuv9rvzrxf3vu453yyqzvdss49xd2tParent: DPYC Prime Authority (npub1l94pd…mq8pf) Peer Authorities under Prime:tollbooth-authority(Lonnie-Authority) Sub-Authority:tollbooth-authority-newenglandService:https://tollbooth-authority-northamerica.fastmcp.app/mcpNeon region:aws-us-west-2(Oregon)
A peer-level Authority under DPYC Prime, serving North American operators. Operators may choose this Authority to keep certification latency and audit trails in-region.
The metaphors in this project are drawn with admiration from The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster, illustrated by Jules Feiffer (1961). We just built the payment infrastructure.
Architecture
This repository is a thin consumer of the tollbooth-dpyc wheel's tollbooth.authority extension (wheel ≥ 0.22.1). The entire deployable surface lives in src/tollbooth_authority/server.py (~90 lines): a FastMCP instance, an OperatorRuntime, and two register_*_tools(mcp, runtime) calls. Onboarding state machine, Schnorr signer, replay tracker, Neon tenant provisioning, and the 16 Authority @tool definitions are wheel-resident and shared with every other Authority MCP in the ecosystem.
For the protocol semantics, certificate format (Schnorr/NIP-33 kind 30079), fee cascade, registry enforcement, and tool catalog, see the canonical tollbooth-authority README — this repo is identical in behavior, distinct only in identity, region, and Neon tenant.
Deploy
Two secrets required by Horizon:
| Env var | Value |
|---|---|
TOLLBOOTH_NOSTR_OPERATOR_NSEC | This Authority's nsec |
NEON_DATABASE_URL | A pooled Neon connection string in aws-us-west-2 |
Everything else — BTCPay credentials for the cashier, operator credential templates — arrives via Secure Courier post-deploy (see docs/how-to-add-authority.md in the community repo).
The DPYC Ecosystem
DPYC is a federation of independent, SSE-based MCP servers sharing one Lightning-funded economy. This Authority certifies operators across the network. Sibling repos:
