How to Use the Metisscan (Metis L2 Network Explorer) MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I configure Metisscan (Metis L2 Network Explorer) inside Windsurf?

Open your /.codeium/windsurf/mcpconfig.json file and add the server configuration under the mcpServers key. Alternatively, use the Settings UI under Cascade to add the server. Once added, click Refresh in the MCP panel, and Cascade will instantly discover all 26 available tools.

Q: Can Windsurf use Metisscan (Metis L2 Network Explorer) to debug failing transactions?

Yes. Cascade can chain ethgettransactionreceipt and gettransactionlogs to analyze why a Metis transaction reverted. It reads the execution failure, inspects the log topics, and suggests the exact fix in your local Solidity code.

Run multi-step Metis L2 block and smart contract audits autonomously inside Windsurf without writing manual query scripts.

Inspect live Metis L2 contract states with Windsurf

`eth_call` executes read-only message calls directly on the Metis Andromeda network to inspect contract variables. Windsurf uses this tool to read current state values, verify variable configurations, and test assumptions during your development loop without deploying test scripts. Your agent chains this with `eth_get_code` to pull bytecode and cross-reference it against expected deployment states. You get instant verification of what is actually running on-chain, eliminating the need to toggle between your editor and an external block explorer.

Auto-trace complex transaction histories

`get_address_transactions` extracts the complete history of any wallet or contract on the Metis network. Windsurf coordinates this tool to map out historical interactions, identify calling patterns, and isolate specific transaction failures. The agent automatically feeds output from this trace into `get_transaction_internal_transactions` to dissect internal contract calls. It maps the execution path of complex smart contracts without forcing you to manually dig through raw hex logs.

Run custom GraphQL queries via the Windsurf MCP Server

`graphql_query` executes direct GraphQL operations against the Metisscan indexer to extract filtered on-chain data. Windsurf uses this tool to bypass standard endpoint limitations, letting you pull bulk datasets like token holder distributions or contract event logs in one go. Cascade plans and executes these queries based on your plain-English prompts. It parses the returned JSON, structures the data into local files, and builds local reports on Metis network activity on demand.

Setup guide

Set up Metisscan (Metis L2 Network 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 Metisscan (Metis L2 Network 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 Metisscan (Metis L2 Network Explorer) payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Metisscan (Metis L2 Network Explorer) tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Metisscan (Metis L2 Network Explorer) MCP in Windsurf

Open your `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` file and add the server configuration under the `mcpServers` key. Alternatively, use the Settings UI under Cascade to add the server. Once added, click Refresh in the MCP panel, and Cascade will instantly discover all 26 available tools.

Yes. Cascade can chain `eth_get_transaction_receipt` and `get_transaction_logs` to analyze why a Metis transaction reverted. It reads the execution failure, inspects the log topics, and suggests the exact fix in your local Solidity code.

No. The server connects directly to Metisscan's hosted endpoints via Vinkius. Windsurf sends requests through this secure connection, meaning you do not need to run or sync a local Metis L2 node to query live ledger data.

Windsurf respects the boundaries of the configured MCP server. While Cascade can call any of the 26 tools autonomously, it only executes read and simulation operations like `eth_call` or `graphql_query`, meaning it cannot sign transactions or spend funds.

The server only processes public blockchain data, such as contract bytecodes, transaction hashes, and wallet balances. Vinkius executes the server inside a zero-trust, ephemeral V8 isolate sandbox, ensuring your private keys and local workspace files are never exposed to the external network.
