Real-time data for Cursor agents

Let your AI agent pull live blockchain data while you write code. By using `get_token_details`, the agent gets accurate contract info to include in your project files. This avoids the common pitfall of using stale or hardcoded values. The agent calls the Nearblocks (Near Blockchain Explorer API) tools to ensure your logic matches the current network state.

Automated balance and asset verification

Your agent can check account assets during the coding process. Use `get_account_inventory` to confirm NFT ownership before writing logic that depends on those specific assets. Integrating `get_account_tokens` allows the agent to build smarter functions. It handles the data retrieval so you don't have to manually look up addresses.

Trace transactions while you code

Use `get_transaction_details` to see how specific calls behave on-chain. This is useful when you are writing tests for your dApp and need to confirm execution results. Cursor agents can use `get_recent_transactions` to identify new activity on a contract. It turns your editor into a powerful research terminal that understands the Near protocol.

Setup guide

Set up Nearblocks (Near Blockchain Explorer API) MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Nearblocks (Near Blockchain Explorer API) MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Nearblocks (Near Blockchain Explorer API) transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Nearblocks (Near Blockchain Explorer API) tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

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

Create an mcp.json file in your project root or your global settings. Add the server details there, and the tools will be ready for your Cursor agent to use.

Once connected, your agent can call these tools to fetch real data. It uses the tool output to write more accurate code based on actual on-chain results.

Yes, by committing an mcp.json file to your project root. Every team member working in that directory will have access to the same blockchain tools.

The server only processes public blockchain data. No sensitive information or private keys are ever shared with the explorer API.

It exclusively handles public address, block, and transaction data. This information is treated as ephemeral and is not tracked or stored by the server.
