Connect your AI agent to Arbiscan to query the Arbitrum L2 network in real-time. This MCP server allows you to fetch blockchain data without leaving your chat interface or IDE.
What you can do
- Account Auditing — Check Ether balances for single or multiple addresses simultaneously.
- Transaction Tracking — Retrieve full history for normal, internal, ERC20, and ERC721 (NFT) transactions.
- Contract Intelligence — Fetch verified source code and ABIs to understand how dApps operate.
- Network Insights — Get real-time ETH price on Arbitrum, total supply, and block rewards.
- Developer Tools — Submit and verify contract source code directly through the API.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Arbiscan API Key
- Start querying Arbitrum data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Arbiscan (Arbitrum Explorer) becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Arbiscan (Arbitrum Explorer) tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
Can I check the balances of multiple Arbitrum addresses at once?
Yes! Use the get_balance_multi tool and provide a comma-separated list of addresses. The agent will return the Ether balance for each one in a single response.
How do I view the source code of a verified smart contract?
Simply provide the contract address to the get_source_code tool. If the contract is verified on Arbiscan, your agent will retrieve the full source code for you to inspect.
Can I track NFT (ERC721) transfers for a specific wallet?
Yes, the get_token_nft_tx tool allows you to list ERC721 token transfer events associated with any Arbitrum address, including block numbers and transaction hashes.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
