Base Launches Base MCP: AI Agent Can Directly Connect to On-chain Account and Operate Within the Base Ecosystem

BlockBeats News, May 27th. According to official sources, Base has officially launched Base MCP, allowing users to connect their Base accounts to an AI Agent and directly perform on-chain operations such as transfers, token swaps, asset queries, and protocol interactions through a chat interface. This feature supports integration with AI clients that support MCP, such as Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, Cursor, covering Base ecosystem protocols including Morpho, Moonwell, Aerodrome, and Uniswap.

Base stated that users only need to log in to their Base accounts via OAuth 2.1 to authorize the AI Agent to initiate transaction requests in the chat window, including cross-chain asset queries, fund transfers, swaps, perpetual contract operations, participation in new token sales, and AI Agent projects. All transactions require manual confirmation, and the system will not host or access user private keys. Transaction requests will be displayed in a Base account pop-up window showing simulated asset changes, allowing users to decide whether to sign and execute.

In addition, Base MCP also supports developers in creating custom "Skill Plugins" to enable the AI Agent to access more on-chain applications through protocol APIs or MCP Servers. The officials stated that they will continue to expand the plugin ecosystem, optimize AI prompt flows, and deepen the integration of the AI Agent with on-chain economics, enabling users to directly participate in the Base ecosystem through natural language.
