> Entry point for an AI agent connecting a user to Base MCP

## Base MCP

Non-custodial. DeFi, DEX swaps, smart contracts, NFTs, x402 payments. Human-in-the-loop for every write.

### What you can accomplish

- Send tokens on Base (ETH, USDC, ERC-20s).
- Swap on DEXs (Uniswap, Aerodrome, etc.).
- Interact with smart contracts (DeFi protocols, governance, staking).
- Sign messages and typed data.
- Mint, buy, sell NFTs.
- Pay for x402-enabled services from the Base wallet.

### Setup

Connect via `https://mcp.base.org` — OAuth through Base Account.

Add it as a connector/MCP server in your client. Supported: Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Cursor, Codex, Hermes. No CLI fallback.

### Verify

Ask "what's my Base wallet address?" → returns an address → connected.

### Rules

- **Every write requires explicit user approval.** The agent proposes; the user clicks "Allow."
- For CEX trading on Coinbase, use Coinbase for Agents instead.
