Build live Near apps with this MCP Server

`get_token_list` lets Cline pull real-time NEP-141 token lists to populate UI components in your VS Code project. Instead of hardcoding mock data, you tell Cline to build a token tracker. The agent runs the query, grabs the live token metadata, and writes the code to display it. It can then use `get_token_details` to verify contract schemas before generating typescript interfaces. This ensures your components are typed correctly against the actual blockchain state, preventing runtime integration bugs.

Generate UI components from live Near wallets

`get_account_inventory` fetches the NFT holdings of any Near address so Cline can mock up gallery views. You give the agent a wallet address, and it retrieves the asset list. Cline then writes the CSS and React code to render the collection. For fungible assets, it pulls balances using `get_account_tokens`. The agent handles the asynchronous state, writes the tests, and shows you the diff inside your editor, completing the task end-to-end.

Analyze Near transactions inside Cline

`get_transaction_details` provides the exact execution outcome of any transaction on the Near network. When your local tests fail, you can have Cline fetch the transaction receipt from the mainnet. The agent reads the logs and compares them to your local code. It can also run `get_account_transactions` to track the history of your test wallets. This makes it easy to spot out-of-order executions or nonce issues without leaving your VS Code workspace.

Common questions about Nearblocks (Near Blockchain Explorer API) MCP in Cline

Open your Cline sidebar, click the MCP icon, and add the server using the Vinkius URL. Cline will immediately discover the 11 read-only blockchain tools.

No, this MCP Server is strictly read-only. It uses tools like `get_account_details` and `get_transaction_details` to fetch explorer data, not to sign or broadcast transactions.

Cline parses the JSON outputs automatically. When you ask it to analyze a wallet, it uses `get_account_tokens` and formats the results into your workspace files.

Ask Cline to inspect the latest network activity. The agent will invoke `get_latest_blocks` or `get_block_details` and print the block heights directly in the terminal panel.

The MCP Server only reads public on-chain records such as wallet balances and transaction histories. Vinkius processes all requests inside a secure, ephemeral sandbox, meaning your private keys and workspace files remain local to VS Code.
