Coinbase Wallet for AI agents

Coinbase Wallet lets an agent inspect crypto wallets and request onchain actions like transfers, swaps, and signing, all within limits the owner sets. 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 Wallet connects.

Coinbase Wallet runs its own MCP server behind OAuth. Arc0 registers the client, users approve access on Arc0 Connect, and your agent reaches Coinbase Wallet through the same endpoint, policies and audit log as every other app.

The same Coinbase Wallet 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 Wallet and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Coinbase Wallet with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Coinbase Wallet 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 Wallet actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Coinbase Wallet?

Coinbase Wallet runs its own MCP server behind OAuth. Arc0 registers the client, users approve access on Arc0 Connect, and your agent reaches Coinbase Wallet through the same endpoint, policies and audit log as every other app.

Q03

Which Coinbase Wallet actions can my agent take?

15 in total: 5 read, 10 write and 0 destructive, such as “send”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Coinbase Wallet?

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

Q05

Can my own backend call Coinbase Wallet too?

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