Base Launches MCP Gateway, Enabling On-Chain Application Operations via AI Interfaces like ChatGPT and Claude

Odaily Planet Daily News: Base, the Ethereum scaling network incubated by Coinbase, has launched Base MCP, aiming to connect AI interfaces with Base wallet infrastructure.

Through this integration, users can use natural language commands in AI tools that support the MCP open standard to complete token swaps, fund transfers, and interact with Base ecosystem applications. Supported AI interfaces include Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others.

Base MCP will serve as a secure gateway between user Base accounts and AI interfaces. At its initial launch, it will connect with applications such as Morpho, Bankr, Moonwell, Avantis, Aerodrome, Virtuals, and Uniswap, covering scenarios including lending, swaps, perpetual contracts, new tokens, and AI Agent issuance.

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, originally proposed by Anthropic, and is an open standard for connecting AI models with external tools and data sources.
