Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Nearblocks (Near Blockchain Explorer API) MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Nearblocks (Near Blockchain Explorer API) to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Audit Near accounts autonomously in Windsurf
`get_account_details` is the starting point for Cascade to pull live wallet data from the Near mainnet. Instead of jumping to an explorer, you ask Windsurf to verify a wallet state. The agent pulls the basic account info, grabs the owned tokens using `get_account_tokens`, and builds a local profile. Since Cascade chains actions, it doesn't stop at the balance. It automatically triggers `get_account_inventory` to map out any NFTs held by the target address. You get a complete picture of the wallet's holdings without writing a single line of fetch logic.
Chain blockchain audits with this MCP Server
`get_account_transactions` feeds raw transaction histories directly to Windsurf's context window. Cascade reads this stream to find specific execution patterns or gas spikes. If you are debugging a smart contract interaction, the agent tracks the sequence of calls without manual intervention. It pairs this with `get_transaction_details` to inspect the exact parameters of failing calls. You set the goal of finding why a transaction failed, and the agent runs the diagnostic steps back-to-back.
Pull live Near network metrics into your editor
`get_network_stats` exposes current gas prices and validator counts directly to your Windsurf workspace. This is useful when you need to write deployment scripts that depend on current network congestion. The editor inspects the load before suggesting gas limits for your transactions. Combined with `get_token_list` and `get_token_details`, your agent can track token metrics and contract addresses on the fly. You don't have to leave the IDE to verify if a specific NEP-141 token is active or check its deploy details.
