Perplexity

Audit Aptos states from the command line

Terminal workflows demand raw data fast. You run Claude Code to check a deployment, and it fires `get_account_modules` to verify the on-chain Move code matches your local repository. No browser required. Tracking down a missing payment takes seconds. The CLI agent calls `get_account_transactions` and filters the output based on your prompt. It dumps the exact transaction hash and status right into your standard output, ready to pipe into another script.

Automate blockchain checks with this MCP Server

CI/CD pipelines need reliable chain state verification. You can trigger Claude Code in a GitHub Action to hit `get_account_balance` before running a test suite. If the test wallet lacks gas, the script fails early and alerts your team. Verifying token mints happens entirely headless. The agent queries `get_token_data` to check the current supply after a test run. It compares the on-chain metadata against your expected results and exits with the appropriate status code.

Deep dive into blocks and resources

SREs dealing with stalled indexers need raw block data. Claude Code pulls `get_block_by_height` to inspect the exact transactions causing the bottleneck. It formats the JSON response into a readable summary in your terminal. Inspecting account state is just as direct. The agent uses `get_account_resources` to dump the raw Move structs for a specific address. You get a clean text readout of the exact on-chain variables without writing a custom query script.
