As a developer, you can use Cobo WaaS Skill with Claude Code, Cursor, or other familiar AI coding assistants to interact with the Cobo WaaS 2.0 API via natural language, or to generate SDK invocation code for your applications.

​
Example project

The video below showcases a web wallet application that was built from the ground up using the Cobo WaaS Skill in 30 minutes: Key prompt examples include:
  • “Help me build an app where users can create wallets and generate addresses on blockchain networks like BTC, ETH, or TRON”
  • “Update the frontend to include wallet type selection”
  • “For each wallet, get the balance and display it accordingly”
  • “Allow users to transfer tokens out of a selected wallet”

​
Key Features

Cobo WaaS Skill is a set of commands, reference documents, code examples, and best practices that enable:
  • SDK code generation – Describe your business requirements in natural language, and the Skill will generate production-ready SDK code in Python, Node.js, Go, or Java.
  • Debugging and troubleshooting – Intelligently monitor and troubleshoot issues with your API calls.
  • Comprehensive CLI toolkit – Execute all WaaS API operations plus developer utilities including API key management, webhook testing, and GraphQL queries.

​
Getting started

​
Prerequisites

  • Python 3.9 or higher
  • Claude Code or Cursor installed
  • Cobo Portal account

​
Installation

Install the Cobo CLI and the WaaS Skill: 
# Install Cobo CLI
pip install cobo-cli

# Install Skill for Claude Code
cobo skill install claude

# Or for Cursor
cobo skill install cursor

# Install Skill for all supported AI assistants in the current project directory
cobo skill install all --scope local

# Verify installation
cobo skill status
If you have already installed Cobo CLI, you must upgrade to version 0.1.1 or above to use the Cobo WaaS Skill. Run pip install --upgrade cobo-cli to upgrade.

​
Starting your first WaaS operation

Once installed, you can use natural language in your AI assistant to perform WaaS operations. Here’s an example of setting up and making your first API call:
For best results, explicitly mention the skill by prefixing your prompt with /cobo-waas or including “Use Cobo WaaS skill” in your request.
What you ask your AI assistant: 
"/cobo-waas set up the dev environment and list my wallets"
Or: 
"Use Cobo WaaS skill to set up the dev environment and list my wallets"
What the AI assistant does: 
# === Dev environment ===
cobo env dev
cobo login -u                        # OAuth login, opens browser automatically

# Generate and auto-register API Key
cobo keys generate --key-type API
cobo keys register                   # Auto-registration supported in dev environment

# Test API connectivity
cobo get /wallets --limit 10


# === Prod environment ===
cobo env prod

# Generate API key pair
cobo keys generate --key-type API
cobo open developer                  # Open developer console to register public key manually

# Configure authentication
cobo auth apikey

# Test API connectivity
cobo get /wallets --limit 10

​
Example commands

Here are examples of natural language requests you can make: For CLI Operations:
  • “Create an Asset Wallet named ‘Treasury’ and generate an Ethereum address”
  • “Execute a transfer of 0.01 ETH from wallet f47ac10b-… to address 0x1234…”
  • “Trigger a test webhook event for transaction success”
For Vibe Coding (SDK Generation):
  • “Generate Python code to create a wallet and poll for transaction completion”
  • “Write Node.js code for a webhook handler that processes transaction events”
  • “Generate Python code for an Exchange app that creates deposit addresses for each user”
The AI assistant will execute the appropriate CLI commands, handle errors, and provide structured feedback at each step. For SDK generation requests, it produces production-ready code in your chosen language.
