Example Conversations

You: Create a wallet and check its balance

Claude: I'll create an Ethereum wallet and check the balance.
🔧 create_wallet → { id: "wallet-abc", address: "0x742d35Cc..." }
🔧 get_wallet_balance → { balance: "0 ETH" }

Done! Your wallet 0x742d35Cc... has been created with 0 ETH.

You: Send 0.01 ETH to 0x123... on Base

Claude: I'll send 0.01 ETH to that address on Base.
🔧 eth_sendTransaction → { hash: "0xabc123...", status: "pending" }

Transaction submitted! Hash: 0xabc123...

Environment Variables

Testing

Use the MCP Inspector to test tools interactively:

Security Best Practices

• Never commit credentials - Use environment variables
• Use policies to restrict what transactions your agent can execute
• Set up key quorums for high-value operations requiring multiple approvals
• Monitor transactions via Privy Dashboard webhooks
