Short answer

How can I use AI to debug Solana transactions?

Your AI uses Helius to pull raw transaction data and parse it into a readable format. It identifies failed instructions, checks fee estimates, and traces wallet history to show you exactly what happened. You'll see the breakdown below.

The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes raw blockchain inputs into these specific results.

LOGS

Readable transaction logs

The AI converts raw hex data into plain English. You'll see exactly which instruction failed and why.

HISTORY

Wallet activity traces

Your agent pulls a full list of recent moves for any address. This helps you spot patterns or suspicious transfers.

FEES

Priority fee analysis

The AI checks current network conditions. You'll know if a transaction failed because the fee was too low.

HUMAN

Manual code review

The AI flags complex smart contract errors that require a developer to inspect the source code. You decide when to dive into the code yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when a transaction arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of data extraction and interpretation.

  1. Fetch raw data

    Your agent pulls the specific transaction or history requested from the blockchain.

    get_transaction_history

  2. Decode instructions

    The AI turns messy, encoded transaction data into a structured, human-readable summary.

    parse_transactions

  3. Analyze network costs

    The AI looks at current congestion to explain why a transaction might have been dropped.

    get_priority_fee_estimate

  4. Summarize findings

    The AI combines the parsed logs and history to give you a final verdict on the transaction status.

    parse_transactions

FAQ

How the debugging works

  • 01

    Can the AI fix a failed transaction?

    No. The AI can only explain why a transaction failed; it cannot resubmit or modify transactions on the blockchain.

  • 02

    Does the AI have access to my private keys?

    No. This MCP only reads public blockchain data. It never needs or touches your private keys.

  • 03

    Can the AI execute trades for me?

    No. The tools provided are for reading and parsing data, not for sending signed transactions.

  • 04

    Can I use this to track whale wallets?

    Yes. You can use the history tool to pull all recent activity for any public address.

  • 05

    Will the AI tell me if a transaction was a scam?

    The AI can highlight suspicious patterns in the logs, but the final judgment on whether a contract is a scam is yours to make.
