Write Code That Uses Real Tezos Data

The `get_account` tool pulls detailed info on any specific account, letting you immediately inject that real-world data into the code block you're writing. You aren't stuck with stubs; your AI agent calls the live API. Need to verify a complex operation? Run `get_operations_by_hash`. The resulting data feeds directly into your script, making testing way more accurate.

Audit Smart Contracts in Your Project

When working on smart contract integrations, the tools help you read the logic. Use `list_contracts` to find target assets, and then pull the source code via `get_contract_code`. This ensures your development is based on current contract specifications. You can also list available functions using `get_contract_entrypoints`, so you know exactly which methods to call in your typed language.

Build Reporting Functions with the MCP Server

The `list_accounts` tool lets you filter accounts by balance or activity, giving you a targeted list for your codebase. You can also get all token balances using `list_token_balances`. The data flows directly into your editor's context. For reporting, the `get_account_report` generates a JSON structure that's ready to be consumed by your program.
