Docs index for AI
Start with the LLMS.txt when you want broad documentation context. It gives your assistant a machine-readable entrypoint into the Base docs so it can discover the most relevant pages before going deeper. Use the docs index when you want to:- Understand the overall Base docs structure
- Find the right section before reading full pages
- Give an assistant high-level context for multiple Base products
Base MCP server
Use the Base MCP server setup guide when you want live access to Base documentation from an AI coding assistant. The guide shows you how to connecthttps://docs.base.org/mcp in tools such as Cursor and Claude Code.
Use MCP when you want your assistant to:
- Search Base docs in real time
- Retrieve the exact page it needs while you work
- Stay current with the latest Base documentation
Base skills
Use the Base skills repository when you want installable agent workflows for common Base development tasks. These skills help assistants handle specific jobs such as connecting to Base, deploying contracts, integrating Base Account, running a Base node, or migrating app patterns. Use Base skills when you want to:- Speed up common implementation tasks
- Give an assistant procedural guidance for Base-specific workflows
- Reuse proven patterns instead of writing prompts from scratch
Recommended starting points
Use these sections when you want to narrow context to a specific type of work:- AI Agents overview for the overall agent building model on Base
- Agent frameworks for framework choices and tradeoffs
- Wallets for agent wallets, signing, and funded execution
- Payments and transactions for x402 payments and onchain actions
- Identity and auth for verification and trust between agents and services
- Base Account quickstart for AI tools for agent-assisted wallet and account flows
- Deploy on Base for contract deployment on Base
- Build a Base app for agent experiences in the Base app
Example prompts
These prompts show the kinds of tasks you can ask an assistant to handle when it has access to Base resources:- “Deploy my ERC-20 contract to Base Sepolia and verify it on Basescan.”
- “Add Sign in with Base to my Next.js app using wagmi.”
- “Set up a wallet for my AI agent that can hold USDC and sign transactions autonomously.”
- “Create a App with a USDC payment flow.”
- “Build an agent that pays for API requests using the x402 protocol.”
