The CDP server acts as a gateway, enabling developers to programmatically manage Coinbase CDP wallet operations through a Server-Sent Events (SSE) interface. It provides a suite of tools for interacting with native tokens, ERC-20, and ERC-721 assets, including checking balances, sending tokens, deploying contracts, and acquiring testnet funds. Designed for seamless integration with MCP clients like Claude and Cursor, it simplifies complex blockchain interactions by abstracting them into accessible API calls, with support for wallet persistence across deployments.
