Create Coinbase API access with the scopes you need, add the Coinbase MCP server to your Gemini/MCP client, complete authentication, and test with a simple query like checking your BTC balance.

Coinbase trading and network fees apply. Model and API usage may incur charges depending on your Gemini plan and your MCP hosting. Check your provider's pricing.
