Kava Account Analysis in Windsurf

The `get_account_info` and `get_account_token` tools pull raw wallet data straight from the Kava blockchain into your editor. Cascade reads your prompt, realizes it needs balance context, and triggers these endpoints automatically. You don't have to manually fetch the data or paste JSON into the chat. If you tell the agent to audit a specific address, it chains commands. It hits `get_account_reward_slash` to pull historical staking metrics. Then it cross-references those events against the active chain state. You just watch the output populate in your workspace.

Deep Extrinsic Inspection

The `get_extrinsic` tool fetches the exact parameters of any Kava transaction using its hash. When a transaction fails during local testing, your agent grabs the error details directly from the chain. It skips the manual block explorer search entirely. Need broader context? The agent fires `list_extrinsics` to pull a batch of recent transactions matching your filters. It reads the payload, identifies the failing contract call, and suggests the exact code fix right in your active file.

Validator Network Monitoring

The `list_validators` and `get_validator` tools expose the active consensus layer to this MCP Server. You ask for the top-performing nodes, and Cascade iterates through the list. It builds a localized dashboard or generates a markdown report of uptime and slashing events. You can also track block production. The agent uses `list_blocks` to monitor recent chain progression, then calls `get_block` for specific height details. It handles the pagination and data formatting while you focus on the actual application logic.

Setup guide

Set up Kava Explorer MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Kava Explorer MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Kava Explorer payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Kava Explorer tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Kava Explorer MCP in Windsurf

Open your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file and add the server details under the `mcpServers` key. You can also use the Cascade MCP Servers UI to configure it. Click refresh in the panel and the tools will auto-discover.

Yes. Cascade reads your intent and fires multiple endpoints in sequence. It might pull a block, find an extrinsic, and check the sender's account balance without stopping to ask you what to do next.

You need a valid Subscan API key to bypass strict rate limits. Pass it as an environment variable in your Windsurf configuration. Without it, your queries will hit public endpoint caps almost immediately.

Every tool returns raw JSON directly from the Subscan API. Cascade parses this payload automatically and formats the relevant data points into human-readable text or code blocks in your editor.

This server only transmits public Kava blockchain data like block heights, extrinsic hashes, and wallet balances. The integration runs locally in your editor. Windsurf routes these specific queries strictly to the Subscan API, keeping your internal workspace files isolated from the external network requests.
