MACH Base Overview

MACH Base MCP server exposes 16 read-only tools for querying live Base mainnet RPC data over Streamable HTTP. It covers blocks, gas, wallet and token balances, transaction details, receipts, logs, contract state, allowances, supplies, and ERC-20 transfers. Each call costs USDC through x402, with no account, API key, or subscription required. Use it when an agent needs current Base chain data without maintaining a separate RPC integration.

Primary Use Cases for MACH Base:
  • Check a Base wallet’s ETH and token balances
  • Inspect a transaction and its confirmation depth
  • Query ERC-20 transfers within a bounded block range
  • Run read-only contract calls at a selected block
