    }
  }
}

Setup

Coinbase's authorization server (login.coinbase.com) does not support dynamic client registration, so an OAuth client has to be registered before anyone can connect.

  1. In the Coinbase Developer Platform portal, create an OAuth client and enable the Coinbase for Agents (mcp:*) scopes you want to expose.
  2. Register both redirect URIs on that client:
    • Desktop: http://localhost:8787/callback
    • Web and Cloud Agents: https://www.cursor.com/agents/mcp/oauth/callback
  3. In Dashboard → Plugins → Configure, set Coinbase OAuth Client ID and Coinbase OAuth Client Secret from that client.
  4. Complete the Coinbase login when Cursor prompts.

On a team marketplace an admin sets the client ID and secret once for everyone; each member still completes their own Coinbase login, so tool calls run against that member's account. Coinbase recommends scoping the agent to a dedicated portfolio.

What agents can do

Category Capabilities
Market data Products, tickers, order books, and candles
Orders Preview, create, edit, cancel, and list orders; close positions
Portfolios Balances, portfolio breakdowns, and transfers between portfolios
Conversions Quote and execute USDC/USD conversions

The hosted runtime is the source of truth for tool names and schemas.

Notes

  • Orders placed through this server are live. Preview first and keep the agent in an isolated portfolio.
  • This is Coinbase for Agents, not the separate Agentic Wallet / x402 payments MCP.
