Functions
tranfer-usdc
- Description: Analyze the value of the purchased items and transfer USDC to the recipient via the Base chain. Due to the uncertainty of blockchain transaction times, the transaction is only scheduled here and will not wait for the transaction to be completed.
- Inputs:
- usdc_amount (number): USDC amount, greater than 0.
- recipient (string): Recipient's on-chain address or ENS domain (e.g., example.eth).
- Behavior:
- Verifies the recipient's address or resolves ENS domains.
- Schedules a USDC transfer on the Base chain.
- Provides a link to view transaction details on BaseScan.
create_coinbase_mpc_wallet
- Description: Create a Coinbase MPC wallet address.
- Behavior:
- Creates a new Coinbase MPC wallet and saves the seed to a secure file.
- If a wallet already exists, returns the existing wallet address.
- The seed file for Coinbase MPC wallets is stored in the Documents directory under the file name mpc_info.json.

FAQ
- What is the Free USDC Transfer (Base) MCP server?
- Free USDC Transfer (Base) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
- How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
- Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
- How are reviews shown for Free USDC Transfer (Base)?
- This profile displays 34 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.4 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

Technical Details▌
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
- Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- JSON-RPC 2.0
- stdio or HTTP transport
Compatibility
- Claude Desktop
- Cursor IDE
- Custom MCP clients
When to Use This▌
✓ Use When
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid When
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
Integration▌
- →Tool composition: Chain multiple MCP tools in workflows
- →Context augmentation: Provide AI with relevant external data
- →Action delegation: Let AI execute tasks on external systems
- →Bidirectional sync: Keep AI context and external systems in sync
