How to Use the Aurorascan (Aurora Network L2 Block Explorer API) MCP in Cursor

Q: Can Cursor's agent use this to get token balances?

Absolutely. It can use the gettokenbalance tool. Just point it to a wallet and a token contract address, and the agent can get the balance and even use it as a variable in the code it's writing.

Q: What's the best way to set up the Aurorascan (Aurora Network L2 Block Explorer API) server for all my projects in Cursor?

For global access, place the mcp.json configuration file in your home directory at /.cursor/mcp.json. This makes the Aurorascan tools available to the Cursor agent in any project you open, not just one.

Q: Can I use this to estimate gas before sending a transaction?

Yes. The proxyestimategas tool lets you do exactly that. You can describe the transaction to the agent, and it will construct the call to estimate the gas cost on the Aurora network before you broadcast anything.

Write Aurora-aware code in Cursor. Your agent can now fetch live L2 chain data and inject it directly into your dApp.

Generate Code with Live Chain Data

The `get_abi` tool changes how you start interacting with contracts. Tell Cursor's agent to get the ABI for a contract on Aurora, and it won't just show it to you—it will write the ethers.js or web3.js code to instantiate that contract, using the real ABI it just fetched. This eliminates the copy-paste-and-pray part of dApp development. Your agent can also use `get_source_code` to pull the full, verified source. This gives you immediate context for writing integration code that actually works the first time.

Debug Transactions from Your Editor

When a transaction fails, you don't have to leave your editor. Just give the transaction hash to the agent and ask what happened. It will use `get_tx_receipt_status` and `get_status` to check the on-chain result. For more complex issues, the agent can use `get_logs` to pull event logs for the failed transaction. It can then analyze those logs to help you pinpoint the exact line of code in the smart contract that caused the problem. It's like having a debugger for the blockchain.

Build Scripts with this MCP Server

This MCP Server turns Cursor into a powerful tool for on-chain analysis. Ask the agent to write a script that tracks all NFT transfers for a collection. It will use `get_token_nft_tx` to get the data and generate a Python or JavaScript file to process it. You can do the same for normal transactions with `get_tx_list` or internal transactions with `get_tx_list_internal`. The agent fetches the real data and builds the script around it, so you go from idea to working analysis tool in minutes.

Setup guide

Set up Aurorascan (Aurora Network L2 Block 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 Aurorascan (Aurora Network L2 Block 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 Aurorascan (Aurora Network L2 Block Explorer API) transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Aurorascan (Aurora Network L2 Block Explorer API) tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

Common questions about Aurorascan (Aurora Network L2 Block Explorer API) MCP in Cursor

You can tell the Cursor agent your goal, like 'write a script to find all ERC20 transfers to this address'. The agent will use tools like `get_token_tx` from the Aurorascan server to fetch live data and then generate the complete script for you.

Absolutely. It can use the `get_token_balance` tool. Just point it to a wallet and a token contract address, and the agent can get the balance and even use it as a variable in the code it's writing.

For global access, place the `mcp.json` configuration file in your home directory at `~/.cursor/mcp.json`. This makes the Aurorascan tools available to the Cursor agent in any project you open, not just one.

Yes. The `proxy_estimate_gas` tool lets you do exactly that. You can describe the transaction to the agent, and it will construct the call to estimate the gas cost on the Aurora network before you broadcast anything.

Your query data, such as Aurora addresses and contract details, is handled securely. Each request runs in a dedicated, single-use V8 Isolate sandbox on Vinkius's infrastructure, which is destroyed the moment the tool finishes its job.
