Coinbase Commerce MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• cancel_chargewrite action

  Cancel a charge that has not yet been paid. Only charges in NEW status can be cancelled; once pending or completed the call will fail.

• create_chargewrite action

  Create a crypto charge — a one-time merchant invoice priced in local fiat that a buyer can settle in BTC, ETH, USDC, and other supported assets. Returns a hosted_url the buyer can be redirected to, plus per-asset payment addresses.

• create_checkoutwrite action

  Create a reusable hosted checkout — think product-page-style link that can be paid multiple times. Good for evergreen SKUs and donation pages.

• create_invoicewrite action

  Create an invoice — a directed bill sent to a specific named recipient. Unlike a charge, an invoice captures who it was issued to and has its own draft / viewed / paid lifecycle.

• delete_checkoutwrite action

  Delete a reusable checkout. The hosted URL stops accepting new payments. Existing charges spawned by the checkout are unaffected.

• list_charges

  List charges, newest first. Supports cursor pagination via starting_after / ending_before.

• list_checkouts

  List reusable hosted checkouts, newest first. Cursor pagination via starting_after / ending_before.

• list_events

  List events — the lifecycle signals (charge:created, charge:confirmed, charge:failed, charge:delayed, charge:pending, charge:resolved) that Coinbase Commerce also delivers via webhook. Useful for reconciliation and agent polling.

• list_exchange_rates

  Fetch current Coinbase exchange rates for a base asset (e.g. BTC, ETH, USDC) against every supported fiat and crypto. Useful for quoting or reconciling fiat-equivalent amounts. This endpoint is public and does not require the API key.

• list_invoices

  List invoices, newest first. Cursor pagination via starting_after / ending_before.

• resolve_chargewrite action

  Manually resolve a charge as paid. Used for out-of-band settlement (e.g. underpayment you accept, delayed confirmation you want to honour).

• retrieve_chargewrite action

  Retrieve a charge by its Coinbase Commerce id OR its short code (the 8-character code embedded in the hosted URL). Returns current status, timeline, and payments.

• retrieve_checkout

  Retrieve a checkout by id.

• retrieve_event

  Retrieve a single event by id. Useful when auditing a webhook delivery or replaying state — fetch the event Coinbase Commerce recorded server-side and compare against what your endpoint received.

• retrieve_invoice

  Retrieve an invoice by code. Returns recipient details, status (DRAFT, OPEN, VIEWED, PAID, VOID), and the linked charge once payment begins.

• update_checkoutwrite action

  Update an existing reusable checkout. Supply only the fields you want to change (Coinbase replaces the supplied fields). Use to retitle a product, change the price, or adjust which buyer fields are collected.

• verify_webhook_signature

  Local helper — verify a Coinbase Commerce webhook payload using HMAC-SHA256. Pass the EXACT raw request body string (do not re-stringify the parsed JSON, byte-equivalence matters) and the X-CC-Webhook-Signature header value. The shared secret comes from COINBASE_COMMERCE_WEBHOOK_SECRET unless overridden. Returns { valid: boolean }.

• void_invoice

  Void an unpaid invoice. The recipient can no longer pay it. Already-paid invoices cannot be voided — refund out-of-band if needed.
