Base MCP Server 🔵

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides onchain tools for AI applications like Claude Desktop and Cursor, allowing them to interact with the Base Network and Coinbase API.

Overview

This MCP server extends any MCP client's capabilities by providing tools to do anything on Base:

• Retrieve wallet addresses
• List wallet balances
• Transfer funds between wallets
• Deploy smart contracts
• Interact with Morpho vaults for onchain lending
• Call contract functions

• Onramp funds via Coinbase

• Manage ERC20 tokens

• List and transfer NFTs (ERC721 and ERC1155)
• Buy OpenRouter
  credits with USDC

The server interacts with Base, powered by Base Developer Tools and AgentKit
.

Extending Base MCP with 3P Protocols, Tools, and Data Sources

Base MCP is designed to be extensible, allowing you to add your own third-party protocols, tools, and data sources. This section provides an overview of how to extend the Base MCP server with new capabilities.

Adding New Tools

If you want to add a new tool to the Base MCP server, follow these steps:

1. Create a new directory in the src/tools directory for your tool
2. Implement the tool following the existing patterns:
   • index.ts: Define and export your tools
   • schemas.ts: Define input schemas for your tools
   • handlers.ts: Implement the functionality of your tools
3. Add your tool to the list of available tools in src/tools/index.ts
4. Add documentation for your tool in the README.md
5. Add examples of how to use your tool in examples.md
6. Write tests for your tool

Project Structure

The Base MCP server follows this structure for tools:

src/
├── tools/
│   ├── index.ts (exports toolsets)
│   ├── [TOOL_NAME]/ <-------------------------- ADD DIR HERE
│   │   ├── index.ts (defines and exports tools)
│   │   ├── schemas.ts (defines input schema)
│   │   └── handlers.ts (implements tool functionality)
│   └── utils/ (shared tool utilities)

Best Practices for Tool Development

When developing new tools for Base MCP:

• Follow the existing code style and patterns
• Ensure your tool has a clear, focused purpose
• Provide comprehensive input validation
• Include detailed error handling
• Write thorough documentation
• Add examples demonstrating how to use your tool
• Include tests for your tool

For more detailed information on contributing to Base MCP, including adding new tools and protocols, see the CONTRIBUTING.md
file.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16 or higher)
• npm or yarn
• Coinbase API credentials (API Key Name and Private Key)
• A wallet seed phrase
• Coinbase Project ID (for onramp functionality)
• Alchemy API Key (required for NFT functionality)
• Optional: OpenRouter API Key (for buying OpenRouter credits)

Installation

Option 1: Install from npm (Recommended)

# Install globally
npm install -g base-mcp

# Or install locally in your project
npm install base-mcp

Once the package is installed, you can configure clients with the following command:

base-mcp --init

Option 2: Install from Source

1. Clone this repository:

   shell git clone https://github.com/base/base-mcp.git cd base-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

   shell npm install

3. Build the project:

   shell npm run build

4. Optionally, link it globally:

   shell npm link

Configuration

Create a .env file with your credentials:

# Coinbase API credentials
# You can obtain these from the Coinbase Developer Portal: https://cdp.coinbase.com/
COINBASE_API_KEY_NAME=your_api_key_name
COINBASE_API_PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key

# Wallet seed phrase (12 or 24 words)
# This is the mnemonic phrase for your wallet
SEED_PHRASE=your seed phrase here

# Coinbase Project ID (for onramp functionality)
# You can obtain this from the Coinbase Developer Portal
COINBASE_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id

# Alchemy API Key (required for NFT functionality)
# You can obtain this from https://alchemy.com
ALCHEMY_API_KEY=your_alchemy_api_key

# OpenRouter API Key (optional for buying OpenRouter credits)
# You can obtain this from https://openrouter.ai/keys
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_openrouter_api_key

Testing

Test the MCP server to verify it's working correctly:

npm test

This script will verify that your MCP server is working correctly by testing the connection and available tools.

Examples

See the examples.md
file for detailed examples of how to interact with the Base MCP tools through Claude.

Integration with Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Create or edit the Claude Desktop configuration file at:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
   • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

You can easily access this file via the Claude Desktop app by navigating to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config.

1. Add the following configuration:

   json { "mcpServers": { "base-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["base-mcp@latest"], "env": { "COINBASE_API_KEY_NAME": "your_api_key_name", "COINBASE_API_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key", "SEED_PHRASE": "your seed phrase here", "COINBASE_PROJECT_ID": "your_project_id", "ALCHEMY_API_KEY": "your_alchemy_api_key", "OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "your_openrouter_api_key" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

2. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect.

Security Considerations

• The configuration file contains sensitive information (API keys and seed phrases). Ensure it's properly secured and not shared.
• Consider using environment variables or a secure credential manager instead of hardcoding sensitive information.
• Be cautious when transferring funds or deploying contracts, as these operations are irreversible on the blockchain.
• When using the onramp functionality, ensure you're on a secure connection.
• Verify all transaction details before confirming, especially when transferring funds or buying credits.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Check that your Coinbase API credentials are correct
2. Verify that your seed phrase is valid
3. Ensure you're on the correct network (Base Mainnet)
4. Check the Claude Desktop logs for any error messages
