Perplexity

Profile Any Wallet, Instantly

This server gives Cascade a direct line to Nansen's wallet profiler. Ask it to investigate an address, and it will chain together tools to give you a full picture. Cascade can pull `profiler_labels`, check `profiler_pnl_summary` for profitability, and then map out `profiler_related_wallets` to find an entire cluster. You don't have to prompt each step. Just give Cascade a goal like "Find out who this whale is and what they're holding." It will run the sequence, using `profiler_current_balance` and `portfolio_defi_holdings`, then present a full report. It does the digging for you.

Track Smart Money with Windsurf

Connect this MCP Server and Windsurf's Cascade agent gets the keys to Nansen's Smart Money engine. It can monitor capital flows into new tokens using `smart_money_netflow` and see what the sharpest traders are buying with `smart_money_dex_trades`. Set up a standing query to watch for accumulation. Cascade can run checks in the background, using `tgm_who_bought_sold` to spot imbalances and `smart_money_holdings` to see if whales are adding. You get the alert, not the noise.

Find Trending Tokens Before They Trend

The `token_screener` tool is a starting point, but with Cascade, it's a launchpad. Ask it to "find hot, low-cap tokens with institutional interest." Cascade will start with the screener, then cross-reference results with `tgm_flow_intelligence` to see if smart money is getting involved. From there, it can dig deeper. For any promising token, Cascade can pull `tgm_holders` to check for distribution concentration and `tgm_token_ohlcv` for price action. This isn't just a data feed; it's an automated research pipeline.

Common questions about Nansen (Blockchain Analytics) MCP in Windsurf

Cascade sees all 48 Nansen tools as actions it can perform. When you give it a goal, like "research this token," it automatically chains tools like `tgm_token_information` and `smart_money_netflow` to get the answer without you asking for each piece of data.

Yes. You can ask Cascade to "find tokens smart money is buying on Solana." It will use tools like `smart_money_dex_trades` and `smart_money_dcas` to identify candidates and present you with a list, complete with on-chain evidence.

Just tell Cascade: "Give me a full report on wallet 0xabc...". It will use `profiler_pnl_summary`, `profiler_transactions`, and `profiler_counterparties` to build a complete profile of the wallet's activity, holdings, and profitability.

Absolutely. The server exposes a full suite of prediction market tools. You can ask Cascade to find markets in the 'Crypto' category using `prediction_categories` and then get the order book depth with `prediction_orderbook` for any of them.

Your analysis requests, like which wallets you're profiling with `profiler_related_wallets`, are sent through Vinkius's ephemeral, zero-trust infrastructure. Nansen receives the query for public on-chain data, but your identity and workspace context are isolated and never shared.
