GBLIN MCP Server

Treasury standard for AI agents on Base mainnet. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets autonomous agents hold capital in GBLIN — a diversified, Crash-Shield-protected on-chain index — and Just-In-Time swap to USDC the millisecond they need to pay an x402 invoice.

ElizaOS Plugin

For agents running on ElizaOS, install the companion plugin:

npm install plugin-gblin
# or: elizaos plugins add gblin

It exposes three native Actions (CHECK_GBLIN_TREASURY_HEALTH, INVEST_IDLE_USDC_GBLIN, RESCUE_USDC_FROM_GBLIN) and a Provider that injects live NAV + Crash Shield status into the agent context on every loop.

AI assistant discovery — gblin-init

Drop an AGENTS.md treasury policy into your repo so every modern AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Codex) automatically discovers GBLIN when it works on your codebase:

npx -p @gblin-protocol/mcp-server gblin-init

The command is idempotent and safe:

• If AGENTS.md does not exist → creates it from the canonical template at gblin.digital/AGENTS.template.md.
• If AGENTS.md exists → appends a clearly delimited GBLIN block at the bottom; your own content is never touched.
• Re-running is a no-op (detected via stable HTML markers).
• --dry-run prints what it would do without writing.
• --force refreshes the block to the latest version.

It also runs offline thanks to a bundled fallback template.

Postinstall hint

When the package is installed as a regular dependency (npm i @gblin-protocol/mcp-server), a short tip is printed once suggesting the command above. No files are written during postinstall — security-friendly and Socket-compliant. Set GBLIN_SKIP_HINT=1 to silence it.

Trust & Governance

GBLIN_V5 is owned by a 48h Timelock Controller — every admin operation (parameter change, oracle update, ownership transfer) is enforced on-chain to wait 172,800 seconds before execution. Agents and integrators can verify this directly on BaseScan.

Component	Address	Role
GBLIN_V5 token	0x38DcDB3A...6345	Index contract — owned by timelock
Timelock Controller	0x6aBeC8716...8e5Dd	48h immutable delay, 14d grace period
Ownership transfer tx	0xb653f54f...edaaf	Transferred at block 46160610

Properties enforced at the contract level:

• MIN_DELAY is immutable (override of updateDelay reverts permanently)
• PROPOSER_ROLE and CANCELLER_ROLE are strictly separated (constructor reverts on overlap)
• EXECUTOR_ROLE is open (address(0)) — anyone can execute a matured operation, anti-censorship
• The timelock is self-administered: every role/config change must itself go through the 48h delay

This is why the get_governance_state tool returns owner_is_timelock: true and a verifiable min_delay_seconds: 172800. AI agents can use these flags to gate trust-sensitive actions.

Why this exists

AI agents today hold their working capital in USDC. USDC sits flat: zero yield, full inflation exposure.

GBLIN is an on-chain index on Base (45% cbBTC + 45% WETH + 10% USDC) with an algorithmic Crash Shield that auto-rebalances toward USDC when a basket asset drops >20%. Agents holding GBLIN earn basket appreciation while keeping the ability to settle x402 invoices instantly via native one-tx atomic swaps.

This server exposes that capability to any LLM agent through the standard MCP protocol.

Quick start

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (on Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gblin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gblin-protocol/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The 6 GBLIN tools appear in the tool picker.

Windsurf / Cursor

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (Windsurf) or the equivalent Cursor MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gblin": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@gblin-protocol/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "GBLIN_RPC_URL": "https://base-rpc.publicnode.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Refresh MCP servers from the IDE settings (or restart). The tools become callable inline.

Coinbase AgentKit (TypeScript)

import { MCPClient } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js";
import { StdioClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js";

const transport = new StdioClientTransport({
  command: "npx",
  args: ["-y", "@gblin-protocol/mcp-server"],
});
const client = new MCPClient({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" });
await client.connect(transport);

// List tools
const { tools } = await client.listTools();

// Quote a JIT payment of $0.50
const jit = await client.callTool({
  name: "swap_gblin_to_usdc_jit",
  arguments: { usdc_needed: "0.50", wallet_address: "0xYourAgent..." },
});

ElizaOS / custom

Any framework that speaks MCP over stdio works:

npx @gblin-protocol/mcp-server

Also supports Cline, Continue.dev, and any agent that implements the MCP client spec.

The 6 tools

Tool	Purpose
get_treasury_state	NAV in USD + basket composition + Crash Shield status
quote_safe_swap	Preview buy or sell with dynamic slippage buffer
swap_gblin_to_usdc_jit	The x402 magic: generate atomic GBLIN→USDC calldata
invest_usdc_to_gblin	Convert USDC earnings into GBLIN treasury (MEV-safe)
analyze_treasury_health	Balances + gas + runway + rebalance advice
get_governance_state	Verify owner == 48h Timelock + pending asset proposals + min delay

All tools return structured JSON. All values are quoted on-chain (NAV via quoteSellGBLIN × Chainlink ETH/USD, with 24h staleness guard). No mock data.

Live verification: the test suite (npm test) runs all six tools against Base mainnet and confirms calldata generation, oracle freshness, slippage math, and governance state. See the latest CI run.

Architectural decisions

Native atomic swap

The GBLIN contract exposes sellGBLINForToken(amount, targetToken, fee, minOut). This burns GBLIN, swaps the basket → WETH → target token in a single transaction. No batched UserOp, no ERC-4337 dependency, no risk of half-finished JIT.

The MCP returns calldata that works identically on:

• EOA wallets (Privy, MetaMask, raw private key)
• ERC-4337 smart accounts (Safe, Coinbase smart account)
• EIP-7702 delegated EOAs (Pectra+)

Dynamic slippage

Slippage tolerance scales with on-chain risk regime:

Condition	Buffer
Normal market	2.5%
Crash Shield active (≥1 basket asset slashed)	4.0%

The buffer is applied on top of the contract's internal maxInternalSlippage (200 bps), absorbing oracle drift and Uniswap pool variance.

MEV protection

invest_usdc_to_gblin never passes minOut = 0. Both minWethOut and minGblinOut are computed from on-chain quotes plus the dynamic slippage buffer. This eliminates the sandwich-attack surface that plagues naïve buy-with-token tools.

Cooldown enforcement

The contract enforces a 120-second sell lock after each buy. The JIT tool reads lastDepositTime and the on-chain block.timestamp (never Date.now()) and returns a clear CooldownActive error with the exact seconds remaining if the swap would revert.

---

Configuration

The server reads GBLIN_RPC_URL from the environment. With no env var it falls back to https://base-rpc.publicnode.com (free, no key, generous limits).

For production load (>100 concurrent agents) use a dedicated provider:

export GBLIN_RPC_URL="https://base-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_KEY"
npx @gblin-protocol/mcp-server

See .env.example for the full list.

  index.ts     # MCP stdio server entry
scripts/
  test.ts      # live smoke test

Security notes

• The server is read-only. It never holds, signs, or broadcasts.
• All quotes are derived from on-chain calls + Chainlink oracles. Stale or negative oracle answers cause the tool to abort with OracleStale / OracleDead.
• The agent's wallet is the sole signer. Calldata returned by tools is plain ABI-encoded bytes — review before broadcasting in untrusted environments.
• No telemetry, no analytics, no remote dependencies beyond the configured RPC.

Roadmap

• v0.2: Uniswap V3 QuoterV2 integration for sub-1% slippage precision
• v0.3: Permit2 support (skip the approve step for x402 reinvestment)
• v0.4: Streamable HTTP transport for hosted multi-agent setups
• v1.0: Audited contract integration + remote-only deployment guide
