How to Use the BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) MCP in Cline

Q: Can Cline debug smart contracts using BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network)?

Yes, Cline uses rpccall to read the state of any contract deployed on the network. It analyzes the returned hexadecimal data to pinpoint why a transaction failed.

Q: How do I check my spending on BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) within Cline?

Ask Cline to check your balance, and it will run getwalletbalance and getrubalance to show your remaining funds. It displays these metrics directly in the VS Code terminal interface.

Let Cline write, test, and debug EVM smart contracts using live chain data from your BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network).

Perplexity

Run live EVM queries directly from your editor

`rpc_call` gives Cline direct access to live blockchain networks to fetch block numbers, read storage slots, or simulate transactions. The agent reads this on-chain state to write accurate integration tests without leaving VS Code. Instead of copying ABI outputs manually, you let Cline query the chain to verify contract deployments. This speeds up your local development loop when building decentralized applications.

Monitor RPC costs in real-time with this MCP Server

`get_ru_consumed` tracks exactly how many Request Units your development tasks are eating up on each endpoint. Cline uses this tool to audit your testing scripts and identify inefficient loops that waste your budget. By analyzing these metrics, the agent can refactor your polling scripts to fetch data more efficiently. You save money by cutting down unnecessary RPC requests during long test runs.

Auto-manage your RPC package lifecycles

`get_package_expiration` checks when your active BlockPi subscription tiers are set to run out. Cline reads this expiration data to alert you when it's time to renew your package. It pairs this check with `get_wallet_balance` to confirm you have enough USD funds to cover the renewal. This prevents your local testing environment from breaking unexpectedly due to expired credentials.
