According to Odaily Planet Daily, Coinbase has announced the launch of a new tool called Payments MCP, which allows large language models (such as Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini) to directly access blockchain wallets and conduct crypto transactions. Launched by the Coinbase Developer Platform, the tool runs locally, is easy to use, and can be customized to meet AI needs. This move follows the launch of the x402 Foundation, backed by Coinbase and Cloudflare, to promote the standardization of AI payments and enable a direct connection between AI and decentralized finance. Payments MCP uses a natural language interface to enable AI to use wallets, channels, and stablecoin payments like humans, accelerating AI's ability to operate autonomously in the financial system.
