Perplexity

Inspect live wallets and account balances

Ask your agent to pull raw balance sheets or track wallet activity. It runs locally in your desktop client without you opening a browser. Your agent runs `get_account` to verify native IOTX balances and `get_account_actions` to list previous transactions. You get clean lists right in your chat window instead of clicking through a slow web explorer.

Inspect blocks and actions inside Claude Desktop

Debug smart contract deployments or check transaction statuses directly. You don't have to copy-paste hashes into external websites. Your agent calls `get_block_by_height` or `get_block_by_hash` to grab block headers. If a specific transaction failed, `get_action` pulls the execution details so you can see what went wrong instantly.

Monitor token distributions and holders

Track token supply and holder concentration without leaving your workspace. Your agent processes the raw data and highlights changes. This MCP server exposes `get_token` for metadata and `get_token_holders` to find top addresses. You can also run `get_recent_actions` to watch live transfers as they happen on the network.
