Perplexity

Read Move modules directly in Cursor

Writing smart contracts requires constant cross-referencing against what is actually deployed on-chain. Switching contexts to a web explorer breaks your focus. With this MCP Server, Cursor fetches the deployed module code and injects it right next to the local files you are editing. Your agent calls `get_account_modules` and `get_account_resources` to pull the exact state of a deployed contract. It reads the struct definitions and resource states, allowing Cursor to write integration tests based on real mainnet data instead of guessed mock values.

Debug failed Aptos transactions inline

When your frontend script throws an error during a transaction simulation, figuring out the root cause takes time. Cursor can now read the failed transaction data directly from the network and compare it against your local TypeScript SDK implementation. By running `get_transaction_by_hash`, the editor pulls the exact execution trace and error codes. It then uses `get_block_by_version` to check the block context. Cursor highlights the exact line in your code that caused the transaction to revert and suggests the fix.

Build wallet features with real account data

Building a dApp frontend means writing UI components for token balances and NFT galleries. Hardcoding mock data rarely catches edge cases. You can tell Cursor to populate your React components using actual data from a specific test wallet. The AI triggers `get_account_balance` and `get_account_tokens` to fetch real balances and metadata. If you need transaction history for an activity feed component, it runs `get_account_transactions` and automatically maps the JSON response to your TypeScript interfaces.

Setup guide

Set up Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

Common questions about Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) MCP in Cursor

Create an `mcp.json` file in your project root or global `.cursor` directory. Add the Vinkius MCP server URL and your endpoint token to the configuration array, then restart the editor.

No. The tools provided are strictly for reading blockchain state. You will still need the Aptos CLI to compile and publish your contracts.

Yes. When you enable Agent mode, Cursor can chain multiple API calls together. It might look up a transaction hash and then automatically inspect the specific block it was included in.

Just paste the transaction hash into the Cursor chat. The agent will fetch the full execution details and break down the event logs for you.

The server only processes the public wallet addresses and transaction hashes you paste into your editor. Vinkius executes these API calls inside a zero-trust, ephemeral sandbox, so your specific queries are destroyed immediately after the response.
