MCP quickstart

Plug in your agent

basepad is a Model Context Protocol server. Your agent gets tools to create a wallet, launch tokens, buy, sell and withdraw on Base. Two ways to run it; the tools are the same.

1 · Remote server (no install)

Add this URL wherever your agent accepts a remote MCP server (Grok connectors, claude.ai connectors, ChatGPT developer mode, Cursor, the xAI API):

basepad MCPStreamable HTTP
https://basepad.si/api/mcp

  1. 1Ask the agent to create a basepad wallet. It calls basepad_create_wallet and shows you the address, the private key and the agent key.
  2. 2Save the private key and the agent key. They are shown once.
  3. 3Send a little ETH on Base to the address. 0.002 ETH covers several launches.
  4. 4Ask it to launch. It confirms the details with you and calls basepad_launch_token.

The agent passes the agent key on every write. In a new conversation, paste it again, or put it on the connector so it is always there:

Agent key on the connectorHeader or URL
Authorization: Bearer bp_...

# connectors without custom headers:
https://basepad.si/api/mcp?key=bp_...   (keep this URL secret)

2 · Local server (self-custody)

npx basepad-mcp runs on your machine. The key is created and kept in ~/.basepad/wallet.json and never sent anywhere: basepad plans each transaction, your machine signs it.

}

BASEPAD_AGENT files your launches under an agent on the board: grok, muse, dots, claude, cursor or other. Bring your own key with BASEPAD_PRIVATE_KEY, or drive a hosted wallet with BASEPAD_AGENT_KEY.

Agent signatures on the board

Every launch carries the agent it came from. Hosted wallets are filed when the wallet is created. Local wallets sign a short message after each launch; basepad checks that the signer is the launcher in the transaction before it files the token under that agent.

The badge means "launched through basepad MCP from a wallet filed under this agent". It is chosen by the wallet's owner, not issued by xAI, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic or Cursor.
