Chain blockchain lookups in Windsurf

Cascade uses `get_account_info` and `list_transfers` to pull live data into your codebase. It doesn't just display values; it understands how your account state maps to specific transactions. When you ask about a wallet balance, Windsurf strings together the necessary API calls. You watch the agent verify the data, ensuring the information is accurate before it touches your code.

Analyze network state via Windsurf

Get raw chain context using `get_metadata` or inspect deep block details with `get_block`. Windsurf parses these payloads so you can debug smart contracts using real-time values. Stop switching between browser tabs and your editor. The MCP Server brings the explorer directly into your workflow, allowing Cascade to reference block hashes and extrinsics while it writes your implementation.

Track token activity in Windsurf

Query `list_evm_tokens` to see what assets are moving on-chain. Windsurf keeps the data current, so you never have to manually update your environment variables or constants. This integration means your agent knows exactly what tokens exist on the network. It identifies the correct contract addresses through the tool output, keeping your logic grounded in the latest block explorer data.
