What is the Snowtrace (Avalanche Explorer) MCP Server?
Connect to the Snowtrace explorer and bring real-time Avalanche blockchain data into your AI workflows. Monitor addresses, analyze transactions, and audit smart contracts without leaving your conversation.
What you can do
- Account Analytics — Retrieve AVAX balances for single or multiple addresses (up to 20) in a single request.
- Transaction History — List normal and internal transactions for any wallet, including block ranges and sorting options.
- Token Tracking — Monitor ERC-20 and ERC-721 (NFT) transfer events to track asset movements across the network.
- Contract Inspection — Fetch verified source code and ABIs for smart contracts to understand protocol logic.
- Network Stats — Access block rewards, total AVAX supply, and the latest price data directly from the chain.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Snowtrace API Key
- Start querying Avalanche data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Web3 Developers — quickly fetch contract ABIs and debug transaction execution status from your IDE.
- Data Analysts — aggregate wallet balances and token transfer history for on-chain research.
- Crypto Enthusiasts — monitor your portfolio and track NFT movements using natural language.

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.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
Server not connecting
Check Settings → MCP for the server status. Try toggling it off and on.
