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