base-mcp
Lets an AI assistant reach into your own crypto wallet on the Base network and move real money in it — transactions are irreversible, so it asks you to review before approving.
LABSCO SUMMARY
base/skills has shrunk to a few skills after Base folded twenty individual per-topic guides into one playbook, and every one listed here needs something beyond the agent to work at all.
The two the README recommends are build-on-base, a single playbook covering Base RPC endpoints and chain IDs, Foundry contract deployment and BaseScan verification, Sign-in-with-Base and Base Pay, ERC-8021 builder-code attribution, running a Base node, and migrating off OnchainKit or a Farcaster MiniKit app — and base-mcp, which connects an assistant to a Base Account wallet through mcp.base.org for sending, swapping, signing, x402 payments, and batched contract calls. The others are narrower: plugin-review checks a plugin file against Base's own Plugin Specification before a contributor opens a pull request against this repository, and skill-creator is a generic guide to authoring skills that has nothing to do with Base itself.
This is for someone building an application, agent, or automated trading bot on the Base chain who wants deployment, wallet, and payment guidance from a single install, and who already has (or is ready to get) RPC access, testnet funds, or a live Base Account before any of them does useful work — plugin-review aside, none of them is a no-setup skill.
Many older skills are now gone, one per old topic — deploying contracts, connecting to the network, running a node, registering an agent, migrating from OnchainKit or MiniKit, adding builder codes. The README explains why, in its own words: build-on-base "Consolidates all individual skills into one." Nothing here looks like an accident; it reads as a deliberate rewrite from many narrow skills to two broad ones.
Its own description lists sending, swapping, signing, x402 payments, and batched contract calls across supported chains through a live Base Account — worth knowing before pointing an agent at it, since the actions it exposes move real funds rather than simulate them.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Lets an AI assistant reach into your own crypto wallet on the Base network and move real money in it — transactions are irreversible, so it asks you to review before approving.
The house playbook for building on Base, the blockchain network — which network settings to use, how to publish a contract, how to take payments, and the mistakes that quietly lose money.
Writing a skill of your own: the instruction file an AI reads, what belongs in it, what should be split out into a separate file, and how short to keep the whole thing.
INSTALL
SINGLE SKILL
Run this outside your AI tool, using Node.js 22.20.0 or newer. Skills CLI 1.7.2 skips skill selection; prompts cancel installation without an interactive terminal. If choosing Project when asked about installation scope, open your project's folder before running this.
Install checklist
Additional agents. ↑/↓ moves, Space toggles selections, Enter confirms.Installing to: for your intended tool. Stop if it names a different tool.Symlink (Recommended) for shared files or Copy to all agents for separate copies; review the summary before confirming installation.Install the find-skills skill? defaults to Yes, adding another skill for all projects. Choose No if you don't want that extra installation.Find the skill name in the Skills tab and put it in the command before running it. Each entry there installs independently.
