Perplexity

Inspect Near accounts from the command line

`get_account_details` is the core tool for checking wallet states directly from your shell. You don't need to open a browser tab to check a balance or validator status. Just run Claude Code and ask for the wallet details in plain English. The tool retrieves the account state, while `get_account_tokens` lists all associated NEP-141 balances. This output can be piped to other terminal utilities, making it easy to parse JSON payloads on the fly.

Monitor the Near network using this MCP Server

`get_latest_blocks` allows you to fetch the newest block headers directly through your CLI. You can use this to script lightweight monitoring tasks or cron jobs that verify network liveness. Claude Code processes the block heights and warns you of any anomalies. If you need to inspect a specific block, `get_block_details` provides the exact timestamp and transaction count. This gives you a fast, headless way to audit network activity without spinning up a heavy local node.

Audit Near transactions from Claude Code

`get_recent_transactions` fetches the latest activity across the entire Near network. This is useful for SREs and DevOps engineers who need to check if a smart contract deployment is successfully processing calls. You get raw execution data formatted directly in your terminal. When you need to dive deeper, `get_transaction_details` pulls the precise gas usage and log outputs for any hash. This makes debugging failed contract calls fast and scriptable.
