How to Use the CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) MCP in CrewAI

Q: How would I use CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) and CrewAI to analyze Cardano network health?

Create a crew where one agent uses getlatestepoch, a second uses getlatestblocks to check block times, and a third synthesizes their findings into a daily status report.

Q: Is it possible for one CrewAI agent to find a Cardano asset and another to analyze its transactions using CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API)?

Exactly. Agent A can use getasset to find a token's policy ID. It then passes that ID to Agent B, which uses listassettransactions to pull its complete on-chain history for analysis.

Assemble a Cardano Research Crew

Give your CrewAI agents the tools to become Cardano experts. One agent can use `get_latest_blocks` to monitor for new activity, passing block numbers to a second agent. That second agent then uses `get_block` and `get_transaction` to dig into the details. A third analyst agent can then take that structured data, look for patterns, and write a summary report. They all share the same context.

Run Autonomous Watchdog Agents

This MCP server is perfect for building autonomous crews. Assign a 'Watcher' agent the task of monitoring a specific wallet using `list_address_transactions`. When a new transaction appears, the Watcher delegates to an 'Analyst' agent. The Analyst uses `get_transaction_utxos` to check the inputs/outputs and `get_asset` to identify any tokens involved, escalating to a human if certain criteria are met.

Specialize Agents for On-Chain Intel

CrewAI lets you create specialized roles. Build a 'PoolMonitor' agent that only has access to the `list_pools` and `get_pool` tools, and task it with tracking stake pool performance. Build another 'EpochTracker' agent with access to `get_epoch` and `get_latest_epoch`. The two agents can collaborate, correlating pool performance changes with epoch transitions, all without any human input.

Setup guide

Set up CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)

Common questions about CardanoScan (Cardano Block Explorer API) MCP in CrewAI

Yes. Assign one agent the role of 'Address Monitor' and give it the `list_address_transactions` tool. It can pass new transaction hashes to another agent for deeper analysis using `get_transaction`.

Create a crew where one agent uses `get_latest_epoch`, a second uses `get_latest_blocks` to check block times, and a third synthesizes their findings into a daily status report.

Exactly. Agent A can use `get_asset` to find a token's policy ID. It then passes that ID to Agent B, which uses `list_asset_transactions` to pull its complete on-chain history for analysis.

Yes. When you configure the MCP server in CrewAI, you can use the `tool_filter` parameter. This lets you assign specific tools like `get_pool` to a 'Pool Analyst' agent, enforcing role specialization.
