Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Arbiscan (Arbitrum Explorer) MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Arbiscan (Arbitrum Explorer) to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Stream live Arbitrum transaction feeds to your UI
The `get_tx_list` and `get_token_tx` tools let your frontend fetch and display real-time transaction histories without making users wait for a full page reload. By hooking these tools directly into your Vercel AI SDK stream via our MCP Server, you feed raw transaction logs straight to your UI components as they happen. This setup completely bypasses traditional loading spinners. Your users see their Arbitrum wallet activity populate on screen block by block, making your Web3 dashboard feel incredibly fast and responsive.
Real-time contract debugging via MCP Server
Using `get_source_code` and `get_abi` tools inside your Edge Functions lets you pull verified smart contract details on the fly. Your AI client reads the exact Vyper or Solidity code from Arbiscan and explains execution logic to your users instantly. You don't need to hardcode ABI files or maintain a massive database of contract definitions. The MCP Server acts as an on-demand translator, pulling live code directly into your streaming UI.
Inspect balances and gas fees instantly
The `get_balance` and `get_eth_price` tools give your application immediate access to wallet holdings and current network costs. When a user asks about their Arbitrum portfolio, your LLM queries the network and streams the live fiat valuation directly to the chat window. This eliminates the delay of traditional API polling. Your interface stays updated with exact balances, letting users make quick decisions based on real-time gas prices.
