Coinbase Unveils Payments MCP: Enabling AI Agents to Conduct On-Chain Transactions

Coinbase has launched a new tool called Payments MCP (Model Context Protocol) that enables artificial intelligence (AI) agents like Claude and Gemini to directly execute on-chain cryptocurrency transactions. This innovation connects large language models with crypto payments without requiring API keys or complex setups. Users can now manage their wallets, transfer stablecoins, and make purchases through natural language commands.
