Base MCP has added 13 new project integrations, giving AI agents more ways to transact, trade, lend, mint and buy across the Base ecosystem.
The update expands Base MCP from its original launch set into a broader app layer for onchain agents. Base MCP initially shipped with plugins for Morpho, Moonwell, Aerodrome, Bankr, Avantis, Virtuals and Uniswap, covering lending, swaps, perpetuals, liquidity and token discovery. The expanded native plugin list now includes Balancer, Bitrefill, Brickken, Clawnch, Flaunch, GMGN, Hydrex, KyberSwap, o1.exchange, OpenSea, Printr, Venice and YO.
That pushes Base MCP beyond basic wallet actions. Agents connected to Base Account can already check balances, send tokens, swap assets, view transaction history, sign messages, execute contract calls and make x402 payments. The new skills add more protocol-specific routes for NFT trading, cross-chain swaps, token launches, private AI inference, gift card purchases and yield vault activity.
Base MCP’s earlier launch had already turned AI agents into a direct interface for wallet control on Coinbase’s Ethereum L2. The latest plugin expansion makes that interface more useful for actual app activity, not just wallet management.
New Skills Cover Trading, Minting And Payments
The new plugin set is broad. KyberSwap adds aggregated swap routing, while Balancer, Hydrex, GMGN and o1.exchange expand trading and liquidity options. OpenSea brings NFT buying, selling, listing, token swaps and minting into the agent flow. Clawnch, Flaunch and Printr add token-launch paths, giving agents access to creation and discovery workflows around new assets.
Bitrefill adds a commerce angle through USDC-funded gift cards, mobile top-ups and travel eSIMs. Venice adds private AI inference and media generation, with optional x402 wallet funding. YO adds yield-vault actions, including deposits and redemption requests. Brickken brings agent identity, reputation and token operations into the same plugin framework.
The payment link is especially important. Base and Coinbase have been building around x402, a stablecoin payment standard designed for machine-readable purchases, API calls and agent-driven commerce. Recent Base activity around AI agent payment rails and x402 transactions has already shown how stablecoins are becoming a cash layer for software agents rather than only a human checkout asset.
User Approval Still Sits At The Center
The expanded plugin surface also raises the security bar. Base MCP does not give an AI model direct custody of a user’s private keys. When an agent prepares a transaction, Base Account opens a review flow where the user can confirm or reject the action before assets move.
That approval model matters more as the plugins become more powerful. A simple balance check carries little execution risk. A token purchase, NFT listing, liquidity deposit, leveraged trade, vault redemption, token launch or x402 payment can create irreversible financial consequences. Base’s plugin rules also separate protocol choice from generic intent, meaning an agent should not choose a third-party app on its own when a user only asks for a broad capability such as “swap” or “earn yield.”
The wider crypto market is already testing how much execution power should be handed to agents. Coinbase recently launched AI agents that can trade and pay from user accounts, while earlier incidents involving agent wallets have shown how prompt attacks and tool permissions can turn automation into a live security risk.
Base MCP now has 20 native plugins listed across its skill framework, with 13 newer integrations extending the original launch set. The current expansion gives agents routes into swaps, NFT markets, token launches, gift cards, AI inference and yield vaults, while every write action still has to pass through Base Account’s user approval flow before execution.
