Audit Celo contracts via MCP Server

This MCP Server connects Claude directly to the Celo network to pull verified contract data. You ask your AI client to review a specific address, and it grabs the exact bytecode and interface definitions. Calling `get_contract_source_code` pulls the raw Solidity files into your chat window. Your agent then reads the code to spot vulnerabilities, while `get_contract_abi` fetches the interface so you know exactly how to format your front-end calls.

Track balances and transfers

Monitoring specific Celo addresses happens instantly inside your conversation. You don't need to open a browser tab to check if a transaction cleared or if tokens moved. The `get_account_balance_multi` tool checks several wallets at once for their native CELO holdings. If you care about specific assets, `get_erc20_token_balance` and `get_erc721_transfers` pull the exact token amounts and NFT movements for any given user.

Debug failed transactions

Figuring out why a Celo transaction reverted usually means digging through block explorers. Claude does this for you by pulling the exact execution status and receipt data. Your agent uses `get_transaction_execution_status` to see if a contract call failed during execution. It then follows up with `get_internal_transactions` to trace the exact path of value transfers that happened behind the scenes.
