Coinbase for AI agents

Coinbase provides market data and trading infrastructure for cryptocurrency, giving a team live prices, order books, and wallet information through an API. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Coinbase connects.

Users add their Coinbase api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Coinbase connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Coinbase and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Coinbase with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Coinbase to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Coinbase actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Coinbase?

Users add their Coinbase api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Coinbase actions can my agent take?

28 in total: 28 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Coinbase?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Coinbase policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Coinbase too?

Yes. The same Coinbase connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
