Learn how to connect Tenderly (Ethereum Dev Platform) to Windsurf and start using 4 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Tenderly (Ethereum Dev Platform) MCP Server?
Connect your Tenderly account to any AI agent to streamline your Ethereum development workflow. This MCP server allows you to debug, simulate, and monitor smart contracts through natural language.
What you can do
- Transaction Simulation — Simulate single transactions or complex bundles on any supported network without committing real assets or spending gas.
- Virtual TestNets — Create and manage private mainnet replicas (Virtual TestNets) to test your dApps in a production-like environment with custom configurations.
- On-Chain Monitoring — Set up sophisticated alerts for method calls, state changes, or value transfers to stay informed about blockchain activity in real-time.
- Bundle Execution — Test sequences of transactions to see how they interact, perfect for debugging complex DeFi protocols or multi-step workflows.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Provide your Tenderly Access Key, Account Slug, and Project Slug
- Start simulating transactions and managing testnets from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Smart Contract Engineers — debug transactions and verify contract behavior before deployment.
- DeFi Researchers — simulate complex multi-step transactions to analyze protocol interactions.
- Web3 DevOps — monitor production contracts and manage private testing environments seamlessly.

Frequently asked questions
Can I simulate a transaction without spending real ETH or gas?
Yes! Use the simulate_transaction tool. It runs the transaction against the latest state of the network in a virtual environment, providing full trace and results without any on-chain cost.
How do I create a private fork of Ethereum for testing?
You can use the create_virtual_testnet tool. Provide a slug, display name, and the network ID you want to fork from (e.g., 1 for Mainnet) to spin up a private RPC endpoint.
Can I monitor specific smart contract events automatically?
Absolutely. Use the create_alert tool with an alert_config object to monitor method calls, state changes, or emitted logs on any contract address.
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.
