About Base Intel MCP
Base Intel MCP provides read-only, live on-chain data for AI agents working with Base. It covers wallet balances, token details, gas prices, and transaction status without requiring API keys.
Key features
- 01Report address balances and activity
- 02Read ERC-20 token metadata
- 03Check token balances
- 04Get current Base gas prices
- 05Inspect transaction status
Use cases
- 01Review a Base wallet’s holdings
- 02Identify a token and its supply
- 03Check whether a transaction succeeded
MCP support
Exposes read-only Base on-chain intelligence tools to MCP clients. The hosted endpoint uses public Base RPC and requires no API key.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEBase 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

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
