Check GLMR balances and prices in Claude Desktop

The `get_glmr_balance` tool retrieves the exact GLMR balance of any address on the Moonbeam network directly inside your chat window. Instead of copying addresses into a browser tab, you ask Claude to check the funds. It queries the live ledger instantly, saving you from constant context switching. You can also track market shifts using `get_glmr_last_price` during your research. Claude parses the real-time price and calculates wallet values without making you open a separate portfolio tracker.

Read live Moonbeam smart contract code with this MCP Server

The `get_contract_source_code` tool pulls verified Solidity files directly into your Claude Desktop workspace. Your agent reads this data to explain execution logic without requiring external tools. This MCP Server makes contract analysis straightforward. Debugging failed transactions gets faster when Claude runs `get_contract_abi` alongside your local files. It pulls the contract interface so you can format payloads or check function signatures without manual copy-pasting.

Inspect on-chain transactions inside your chat

The `get_normal_transactions` tool fetches the transaction history of any Moonbeam account directly within Claude Desktop. You get raw execution details, gas usage, and timestamps formatted into clean markdown tables. If you need to trace complex smart contract interactions, Claude calls `get_internal_transactions` to expose value transfers hidden deep inside execution calls. Tracking funds during nested execution loops becomes incredibly simple when you can see the raw transfer path.
