How to Use the Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I install Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) in Windsurf?

Open your MCP panel and click Refresh, or edit /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json. Add the Vinkius endpoint under the mcpServers array. Cascade auto-discovers the tools immediately.

Q: Can Windsurf read my deployed Move modules using Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API)?

Yes. The agent calls getaccountmodules to pull the exact code published under any address. It then uses that context to help you write client-side interactions.

Give Windsurf direct access to the Aptos blockchain. Cascade fetches balances, reads modules, and traces transactions without asking.

Perplexity

Chain Aptos queries inside Windsurf

Cascade thrives on multi-step tasks. You ask it to audit a specific Aptos wallet, and it immediately calls `get_account_balance` followed by `get_account_tokens`. The agent figures out the required parameters, pulls the exact Move modules using `get_account_modules`, and dumps the context right into your editor. You never have to leave your code to hunt down a transaction hash. Windsurf queries `get_transaction_by_hash` or `get_transaction_by_version` natively. This MCP Server turns your IDE into a live blockchain explorer that actually writes code based on on-chain states.

Read deep token and resource data

Aptos resources get complicated fast. When you need to inspect what an account actually owns, Cascade hits `get_account_resources` to pull the raw data structures. If you are building a frontend for an NFT marketplace, it uses `get_token_data` to grab supply info and metadata before drafting your React components. Building smart contracts requires knowing exactly what deployed on-chain. Your agent checks the live state against your local Move files. It pulls the deployed code and compares it to your workspace, saving you from switching tabs to an external explorer.

Track blocks with this MCP Server

Debugging failed transactions usually means digging through block heights. Cascade automates this by calling `get_block_by_height` or `get_block_by_version`. You just paste a broken transaction version into the chat, and the agent traces the entire block context. Connecting the pieces happens instantly. Windsurf reads the block data, identifies the failing `get_account_transactions` entry, and points out the exact Move module error in your source code. You get full visibility without opening a browser.

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

Open your MCP panel and click Refresh, or edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`. Add the Vinkius endpoint under the `mcpServers` array. Cascade auto-discovers the tools immediately.

Yes. The agent calls `get_account_modules` to pull the exact code published under any address. It then uses that context to help you write client-side interactions.

No. Cascade operates autonomously. Once you give it a goal, it chains calls like `get_account_balance` and `get_account_tokens` without stopping to ask you for approval.

Context makes all the difference. Your agent pulls raw transaction data via `get_transaction_by_hash` and immediately writes the TypeScript code to handle that specific response shape.

Vinkius runs this MCP Server in a V8 Isolate Sandbox. The server only reads public on-chain data like transaction hashes, account balances, and block heights. It never accesses your local file system or private keys.
