Resources for AI agents

Use this page as the starting point when you want an AI assistant to build on Base. It covers three ways to give an assistant Base context: static docs files, a live MCP connection, and installable skills. You’ll also find recommended entry points for common workflows.

Quick setup

Get your agent connected to Base docs in one command. Pick the method that fits your tool.

MCP server

A live connection lets your assistant search and read Base docs on demand, so it always has current information.
claude mcp add --transport http base-docs https://docs.base.org/mcp
See the full MCP setup guide for Cursor, Windsurf, and other editors.

Static docs files

Use these when you want to load context in a single fetch rather than maintaining a live connection.
FileWhat it containsWhen to use it

Every docs page is also available as plain Markdown. Append .md to any URL:

Skills

Skills are installable agent workflows for common Base tasks, including connecting to Base, deploying contracts, integrating Base Account, running a node, and more. They give your assistant step-by-step procedural guidance instead of requiring it to piece together docs on its own.
npx skills install base/skills -g
Browse available skills in the Base skills repository. Once your agent has docs context, point it at the section that matches what you’re building:

Example prompts

Copy these into your assistant to test that everything is working:
  • “Deploy my ERC-20 contract to Base Sepolia and verify it on Basescan.”
  • “Add Sign in with Base to my Next.js app using wagmi.”
  • “Set up a wallet for my AI agent that can hold USDC and sign transactions autonomously.”
  • “Create an app with a USDC payment flow.”
  • “Build an agent that pays for API requests using the x402 protocol.”
