What do I need to install to use this skill?

You need the Base MCP server installed and connected. If Base MCP tools aren't available, visit https://docs.base.org/ai-agents/quickstart for installation steps specific to your platform.

What chains does Base MCP support?

The skill works across supported chains for wallet, portfolio, and transaction history. Individual plugins (Morpho, Moonwell, Uniswap, Avantis, Aerodrome, Bankr) are Base-only unless noted otherwise — Moonwell also supports Optimism.

Can I use this skill to sign transactions?

Yes. Base MCP supports signing messages and contract calls. Write operations that return an approval URL follow a specific approval flow — the skill will guide you through it.

What happens if I use a plugin that supports lending or leverage?

Plugins like Morpho, Moonwell, and Avantis can expose you to liquidation risk. The skill surfaces health factor and position data before risky actions, but you must review all details before approving any transaction.

Do I need to provide my wallet address at the start?

No. Wallet address and balance are only fetched when you ask for them or when a pending operation actually needs the address — like a token send or balance lookup.

GMGN Plugin

[!IMPORTANT] Complete the Base MCP onboarding flow defined in SKILL.md before calling any GMGN endpoint. The user's wallet address — passed as from_address in every quote call — is fetched lazily when needed.

Overview

GMGN is a trading platform providing token swap routing and on-chain market intelligence for Base mainnet. This plugin calls the GMGN HTTP API via web_request to obtain full unsigned transaction calldata from the quote endpoint, then submits it through send_calls — no server-side key binding or additional MCP server required.

Shell requirement: Every request requires a Unix timestamp (±5 s accuracy) and a fresh UUID v4 as auth parameters. These must be generated via shell commands (date +%s and uuidgen) to guarantee correctness. This plugin only runs on CLI harnesses (Claude Code, Codex) where shell access is available.

Three capabilities are exposed:

Swap quotes — returns complete unsigned calldata (data.tx.to/value/data) and ERC-20 approval transactions (data.tx.approve_txs) ready for send_calls
Gas prices — current low/average/high fee tiers for Base
Trending tokens — top tokens ranked by swap activity, volume, and holder count

Chain: Base mainnet (chainId 8453)

Auth

All requests require the X-APIKEY header and two query parameters generated via shell:

Parameter	Description	Shell command
`timestamp`	Current Unix timestamp in seconds (valid window ±5 s)	`date +%s`
`client_id`	Fresh UUID v4 per request (replay protection, 7 s window)	`uuidgen \| tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`

Generate before every request:

TS=$(date +%s)
CID=$(uuidgen | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')

A public API key is available for all read-only operations:

X-APIKEY: gmgn_basesolbscethmonadtron

Surface Routing

Capability	Tool	Notes
Generate auth params	shell (`bash`)	`date +%s` for timestamp; `uuidgen` for client_id — required before every request
Swap quote	`web_request`	`GET /v1/trade/quote` — returns unsigned calldata
Gas price	`web_request`	`GET /v1/trade/gas_price`
Trending tokens	`web_request`	`GET /v1/market/rank`
Execute swap	`send_calls`	Uses calldata from quote response — no signing required

All HTTP calls go to openapi.gmgn.ai (in the allowlist). Shell is required for auth parameter generation.

Orchestration

Swap flow: "Swap 0.00001 ETH for token X on Base"

1. get_wallets -> user address (from_address)

2. shell: TS=$(date +%s) && CID=$(uuidgen | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')

3. web_request GET /v1/trade/quote
     ?chain=base
     &from_address=<address>
     &input_token=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000   (native ETH)
     &output_token=<token_address>
     &input_amount=<amount_in_wei>
     &slippage=5
     &timestamp=$TS&client_id=$CID
   Headers: X-APIKEY: gmgn_basesolbscethmonadtron

4. Present quote to user:
     Input:           data.tx.amount_in / 10^data.tx.amount_in_decimals  (+ data.tx.amount_in_usd)
     Expected output: data.tx.amount_out / 10^data.tx.amount_out_decimals (+ data.tx.amount_out_usd)
     Minimum output:  data.tx.amount_min_out / 10^data.tx.amount_out_decimals
     Check slippage against Risks & Warnings before proceeding.

5. Confirm with user before submitting.

6. See Submission section to build and send the calls.

Market discovery flow: "What tokens are trending on Base?"

1. shell: TS=$(date +%s) && CID=$(uuidgen | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
2. web_request GET /v1/market/rank?chain=base&interval=1h&limit=10&order_by=volume&timestamp=$TS&client_id=$CID
   Headers: X-APIKEY: gmgn_basesolbscethmonadtron
3. Present the top tokens: name, symbol, price, 1h change, volume, holder count
4. Optionally follow up with GET /v1/trade/quote for any token the user wants to buy

Submission

Build the send_calls payload from the quote response:

approvalCalls = data.tx.approve_txs.map(t => ({ to: t.to, value: t.value ?? "0x0", data: t.data }))
swapCall      = { to: data.tx.to, value: data.tx.value, data: data.tx.data }
calls         = [...approvalCalls, swapCall]

If data.tx.approve_txs is empty (native ETH input), omit the approval call and send only the swap call.

{
  "chain": "base",
  "calls": [
    { "to": "<approve_tx.to>", "value": "0x0", "data": "<approve_tx.data>" },
    { "to": "<data.tx.to>", "value": "<data.tx.value>", "data": "<data.tx.data>" }
  ]
}

Call send_calls("base", calls), then get_request_status only after the user acts on the approval link.

Risks & Warnings

Slippage

Tolerance	Level	Action
≤ 1%	Normal	Proceed.
> 1% and ≤ 5%	Elevated	Mention the value and ask the user to confirm.
> 5% and ≤ 20%	High	Warn that the trade can fill significantly below quote and is a likely sandwich target. Require explicit confirmation.
> 20%	Very high	Strongly warn; do not submit without the user re-confirming the exact number.

Low Liquidity

For meme tokens with low liquidity, higher slippage (10–20%) is common. Always warn the user and require explicit confirmation before proceeding. Thin markets increase the risk of severe price impact and sandwich attacks.

Quote Expiry

Quotes expire at data.tx.deadline (Unix timestamp). If the user has not confirmed within ~30 seconds, re-fetch the quote before submitting. Submitting an expired quote will cause the transaction to revert on-chain.

Notes

Native ETH address: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
USDC on Base: 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
WETH on Base: 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006
Token amounts are in base units. Use data.tx.amount_in_decimals / data.tx.amount_out_decimals from the quote response to convert to human-readable values.
data.tx.data is unsigned calldata — pass it directly to send_calls; never sign or modify it.
data.tx.approve_txs handles ERC-20 allowances. It is empty when the input is native ETH or when a sufficient allowance already exists.
timestamp must be within ±5 seconds of server time. client_id must be a fresh UUID per request.
Use chain: "base" (not numeric chain ID) with send_calls.
