What is the Base MCP server?

Connect Base to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. MCP server for AI agents to deploy ERC-20 tokens on Base with zero gas fees via CDP Paymaster. Gasle. The base mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

MCP server for deploying ERC-20 tokens on Base with zero gas using CDP Paymaster. Falls back to normal gas if no paymaster is configured.

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at base-gasless-deploy-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • deploy_gasless_token — Deploy an ERC-20 token on Base. Uses paymaster for zero gas when configured
  • get_token_info — Get info about a deployed token (name, symbol, supply, owner balance)
  • estimate_gas_savings — The estimate_gas_savings tool exposed by this server
  • list_deployed_tokens — List all tokens deployed by an address in the current session
  • transfer_tokens — The transfer_tokens tool exposed by this server

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY, PAYMASTER_URL, CDP_PAYMASTER_URL. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

This sits in the cloud and infrastructure group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Base's toolset — deploy_gasless_token, get_token_info, estimate_gas_savings and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by lordbasilaiassistant-sudo; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Base's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Base to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 5 tools (deploy_gasless_token, get_token_info, estimate_gas_savings, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Base directly.
