Base Free USDC Transfer

What is mcp-free-usdc-transfer?

mcp-free-usdc-transfer is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables free USDC transfers on the Base network. It leverages Coinbase CDP (Coinbase Decentralized Protocol) for secure MPC (Multi-Party Computation) wallet integration, allowing users to send USDC without incurring transaction fees.

How to use mcp-free-usdc-transfer?

To use mcp-free-usdc-transfer, you first need to obtain a Coinbase CDP API key. After signing up for a Coinbase CDP account and generating your API key, you can configure the MCP server.
