Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Etherscan MCP Server?
Connect your Etherscan API key to any AI agent and gain instant access to on-chain data across Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Native Balances — Retrieve the native token balance (ETH, MATIC, etc.) for single or multiple addresses (up to 20) using
get_balanceandget_balance_multi. - Transaction History — Fetch comprehensive lists of normal and internal transactions for any wallet address with
get_tx_listandget_tx_list_internal. - Token Tracking — Monitor transfers for ERC-20, ERC-721 (NFTs), and ERC-1155 tokens using specialized tools like
get_token_txandget_token_nft_tx. - Multi-Chain Support — Query data across different networks by specifying the
chainid(e.g., 1 for Ethereum, 137 for Polygon). - Granular Filtering — Filter transaction results by block range, pagination, and sort order to find exactly what you need.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Etherscan API Key
- Start auditing wallets and tracking transfers from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Web3 Developers — Debug smart contract interactions and verify transaction statuses directly from your IDE.
- Crypto Analysts — Track whale movements, token distributions, and wallet activity without manual block explorer searches.
- DeFi Users — Monitor your portfolio balances and transaction history through a simple chat interface.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Etherscan into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Etherscan and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 19 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
Etherscan in Cursor
Etherscan and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Etherscan to Cursor through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Etherscan in Cursor
The Etherscan MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 19 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Cursor only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
Etherscan for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the Etherscan MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I check the balance of multiple Ethereum addresses at once?
You can use the get_balance_multi tool. Provide the chainid (e.g., 1 for Ethereum) and a comma-separated list of up to 20 addresses to retrieve all balances in a single request.
Can I track NFT transfers for a specific wallet?
Yes! Use the get_token_nft_tx tool. By providing the wallet address and the appropriate chainid, the agent will list ERC-721 transfer events associated with that account.
Does this support networks other than Ethereum Mainnet?
Yes, as long as you use the correct chainid. For example, use 1 for Ethereum, 137 for Polygon, or 10 for Optimism, provided your API key has access to those Etherscan-equivalent explorers.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
