What is Base Chain MCP?

Base Chain MCP is a Model Context Protocol server for Base, Coinbase's Ethereum L2 network built on the OP Stack. Base has rapidly grown to become one of the most active L2 chains, driven by consumer applications, social protocols like Farcaster, and Coinbase's massive user base.
