Base Intel MCP
Read-only on-chain intelligence for AI agents on Base: balances, tokens, gas, tx status.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http base-intel-mcp 'https://base.datakoot.com/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"base-intel-mcp": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://base.datakoot.com/mcp"

Base Intel MCP — by Datakoot
Read-only on-chain intelligence for AI agents on Base. No API keys.
Give an agent a Base address, token, or transaction hash and it reads balances, token metadata, gas, and transaction status live from chain.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
address_report | ETH + USDC balance, tx count, and contract check for an address |
token_info | ERC-20 name, symbol, decimals, total supply |
token_balance | Any ERC-20 balance for any holder (formatted + raw) |
gas_now | Current Base gas price (gwei + wei) |
tx_status | Transaction status, from/to, value, block, gas used |
No API keys required. Data read live from Base mainnet public RPC (with fallbacks).
Quick start (hosted)
claude mcp add --transport http base-intel https://base.datakoot.com/mcp
Try it in 10 seconds — no key, no signup
Paste this into a terminal:
curl -s https://base.datakoot.com/mcp \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": {"name": "gas_now", "arguments": {}}}'
You get the current gas price on the Base network — no API key, nothing to sign up for.
Or point any MCP client at the URL and just ask your agent, in plain language:
- "What's gas on Base right now?"
- "Summarize the token holdings of this Base wallet: 0x…"
Example agent workflows
- "What is in wallet 0x... on Base?" ->
address_report - "What token is 0x833589... and what is its supply?" ->
token_info - "Did transaction 0x... succeed?" ->
tx_status
