Short answer

How can I debug Moonriver transactions with my AI?

Your AI uses the Moonriver Block Explorer API to fetch transaction details and block information. This lets you inspect extrinsics and verify statuses without leaving your IDE. You'll get a clear view of what happened on-chain.

Where your data lands.

Debugging outcomes.

The AI translates raw blockchain data into answers.

STATUS

Verified transaction states

The AI checks if a specific transaction succeeded or failed. You get a direct answer on the outcome of the call.

BLOCKS

Block content analysis

Your agent pulls the full contents of a block. This helps you see the exact order of events and identify missing transactions.

LOGS

Extrinsic inspection

The AI looks at individual extrinsics to find specific errors. You'll see exactly which part of a call caused a revert.

HUMAN

Manual code fixes

If the AI finds a smart contract error, you'll need to handle the actual code changes and resubmissions yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when a transaction arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of querying the blockchain.

  1. Fetch transaction data

    The AI pulls the specific details for a single transaction to check its status.

    get_extrinsic

  2. Retrieve block data

    Your agent pulls the full contents of a specific block to see all activity at that height.

    get_block

  3. List block activity

    The AI scans the extrinsics within a block to help you find a specific call.

    list_extrinsics

  4. Analyze errors

    The AI uses the retrieved extrinsic data to explain why a transaction failed.

    get_extrinsic

FAQ

How the debugging task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI send a transaction for me?

    No. This MCP only provides tools to read block and extrinsic data. It cannot sign or broadcast transactions.

  • 02

    Can the AI fix my smart contract errors?

    No. The AI can identify why a transaction failed, but you must perform the actual code fixes and resubmissions.

  • 03

    Does the AI have access to all Moonriver data?

    Yes, the AI can access any data provided by the Moonriver Block Explorer API, such as blocks and extrinsics.

  • 04

    Can I use this with Cursor or Windsurf?

    Yes. You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 05

    How does the AI verify a transaction status?

    The AI uses the get_extrinsic tool to pull the transaction details and reads the status field to tell you if it succeeded.
