SKILL.md in github.com/base/skills. The assistant loads each spec on demand when a relevant request comes in.
Most transaction plugins follow the prepare -> send_calls pattern described in the Overview. Some plugins use Base MCP semantic tools instead: Bankr, Clawnch, and Flaunch use swap for token buys; Bitrefill uses sign, x402 tools, and send; Venice uses sign and x402 for wallet-funded inference; Virtuals uses sign for SIWE login; YO uses chain_rpc_request for reads before send_calls. The plugin spec is the single source of truth; the cards below are pointers, not duplicates.
The plugins
Aerodrome (CLI-only)
Token swaps and basic-pool liquidity on Aerodrome via sugar-sdk. Requires a
CLI harness.
Avantis
Perpetual futures on Base. Reads work on every surface; trade-building uses
a CLI harness or the Avantis web UI.
Balancer (CLI-only)
Swaps and liquidity on Balancer through shell-driven API reads, SDK calldata
building, and Base MCP
send_calls.Bankr
Discover the latest token launches on Base via the Bankr API and buy them
with Base MCP’s
swap tool.Bitrefill
Buy gift cards, mobile top-ups, and travel eSIMs with USDC on Base.
Brickken
ERC-8004 identity, reputation, and agent-token operations through Brickken
with Base MCP x402 approval.
Clawnch
Discover Base token launches, buy launched tokens, and prepare
non-custodial token launches on Clawnch.
Flaunch
Prepare Base token launches through Flaunch and trade deployed Flaunch
tokens with Base MCP.
GMGN (CLI-only)
Token swap quotes, gas-price tiers, and trending-token market intelligence
on Base via GMGN.
Hydrex
Swaps and concentrated-liquidity position management on Hydrex via
prepare-server calldata.
KyberSwap
Best-rate DEX aggregation through KyberSwap routes and Base MCP
send_calls across supported EVM chains.Moonwell
Compound v2 lending on Base and Optimism. Supply, borrow, withdraw, and
repay with approval and action batched into one approval.
Morpho
Lending and vaults on Base via Morpho CLI when available, with Morpho MCP
fallback on chat-only surfaces.
o1.exchange
Token swaps on o1.exchange through HTTP order building, unsigned transaction
decoding, and Base MCP
send_calls.OpenSea
NFT marketplace trading, token swaps, and drops or minting through OpenSea
API or CLI.
Printr
Launch cross-chain tokens through Printr’s HTTP API and Base MCP
send_calls.Uniswap
Token swaps and V2/V3/V4 LP position management on Base.
Venice
Private AI inference through the Venice API with optional Base x402 wallet
funding.
Virtuals
Create and operate Virtuals AI agents: payment cards, email identities, and
agent management signed in via Base MCP.
YO
View YO vaults, check positions, deposit, and request redeems through
onchain reads and Base MCP
send_calls.Aerodrome, Balancer, and GMGN are CLI-only and require shell or terminal
access. They do not run from chat-only surfaces such as ChatGPT or Claude.ai.Some plugins are environment-aware:
- Avantis splits by capability: view-only reads work everywhere via
web_request; tx-builder calls run from a CLI harness, with an Avantis web UI fallback on chat-only surfaces. - Bitrefill supports wallet-native commerce by default and optional CLI or MCP paths for existing Bitrefill accounts.
- Morpho uses CLI when shell access exists, otherwise uses Morpho MCP.
- OpenSea can use its REST API directly or its CLI when shell access exists.
- Venice supports API-key inference and a Base-wallet x402 path.
- Virtuals requires installing an MCP server and running the auth flow once per session.

Plugins that use
web_request only reach protocols whose hostnames are on the
Base MCP allowlist. CLI-only plugins use the harness shell instead of
web_request. To call a protocol that isn’t allowlisted, see Build a custom
plugin.Build your own
Build a custom plugin
Write a markdown spec for a protocol with an HTTP tx-builder, CLI, sibling
MCP server, or other Base MCP-compatible flow.
