# Coinbase for Agents

Coinbase for Agents gives your AI agent its own financial account: an isolated portfolio inside
your Coinbase account where it can hold funds, manage a portfolio, trade assets, convert
currencies, and make payments autonomously.

Connect any MCP-compatible agent, including Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or a custom agent, through a
local CLI or MCP server. Control what it can do with portfolio isolation and guardrails such as
maximum trade sizes and daily limits.

Use Coinbase for Agents when your agent needs a full financial identity for portfolio management,
asset trading, currency conversion, and, soon, x402 payments. Each agent operates within an
isolated portfolio backed by your existing Coinbase account.

## x402 payments

x402 payments are coming to Coinbase for Agents — paid per request from your Coinbase USDC
balance, no API key or subscription, over the same remote MCP connection it already uses to
trade.
