Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Snowtrace (Avalanche Explorer) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Snowtrace (Avalanche Explorer) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 21 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

Frequently asked questions
Can I check the balance of multiple Avalanche addresses at once?
Yes. Use the get_avax_balance_multi tool and provide a comma-separated list of up to 20 addresses to get all balances in a single response.
How do I track specific token movements like USDT or NFTs?
You can use get_erc20_transfers for standard tokens or get_erc721_transfers for NFTs. You can filter by wallet address or specific contract address to narrow down the results.
Is it possible to see the source code of a verified contract?
Absolutely. The get_contract_source_code tool retrieves the verified Solidity source code and metadata for any contract address that has been verified on Snowtrace.
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.
