Perplexity

Fetch live chain data in Cursor

Write code that reacts to real blockchain events. Use `get_logs` or `get_account_balance` to feed fresh data directly into your editor's context. The AI writes your implementation based on the actual JSON response. You stop guessing what the API looks like and start building against the real thing.

Debug contracts using Cursor

Point your agent at a deployed contract to pull its ABI. Tools like `get_contract_abi` ensure the AI knows the exact function signatures you need to call. It saves you from manually formatting interface files. The agent reads the source and writes your wrapper logic in seconds.

Verify transaction history in Cursor

Run `get_transaction` to inspect specific execution details while you write your tests. The tool returns the full metadata you need to validate your logic. Your code references these real-world results immediately. It creates a tight feedback loop between the ledger and your editor.

Setup guide

Set up Blockscout 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 Blockscout 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.

Verify the connection

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