What is the Base MCP server?

Base MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Discover and trade new token launches on Base. Watch, snipe, quote, safety.

What the assistant can call

Once Base is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • watch_launches — Get recent LaunchPad token deploys (newest first)
  • snipe_buy — Buy a token with ETH via PlatformRouter (0.5% platform fee)
  • multi_quote — Get buy quotes for multiple tokens at once
  • get_token_safety — Check token safety metrics (liquidity, burn, fees, age)
  • get_launch_feed — Live feed of launches since a given timestamp

Configuration and credentials

You will need one environment variable: DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Setting it up

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at base-token-sniper-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.

Choosing this one

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Base's toolset — watch_launches, snipe_buy, multi_quote 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.

Before you rely on it

  • 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.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the base mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Base to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 5 tools (watch_launches, snipe_buy, multi_quote, 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.
