Short answer

How can I monitor Near network health using AI?

Your AI pulls live data from the Near blockchain using the Nearblocks API. It checks block production, network congestion, and recent transaction flows to give you a real-time pulse of the chain. You get immediate visibility into network performance without manual block explorers.

Network visibility.

Real-time network insights.

The AI turns raw blockchain data into actionable monitoring reports.

MONITOR

Live congestion tracking

The AI pulls current network stats to show you if the chain is getting crowded. You'll see exactly how much pressure the network is under right now.

AUDIT

Block activity logs

Your agent inspects the latest blocks to confirm successful processing. It identifies any gaps or delays in block production immediately.

TRACE

Transaction flow analysis

The AI looks at recent transactions to spot patterns or sudden spikes in volume. This helps you catch unusual activity before it becomes a problem.

HUMAN

Decision making

The AI provides the data, but you decide how to react to congestion. You remain in control of any strategy changes or manual interventions.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

Your agent acts as a bridge between the Near blockchain and your chat interface.

  1. Check network pressure

    The AI pulls current congestion levels and throughput metrics to assess the state of the Near network.

  2. Verify block production

    The agent looks at the most recent blocks to ensure the chain is moving at the expected pace.

    get_latest_blocks

  3. Inspect recent activity

    The AI scans the latest transactions to provide context on what is actually happening on-chain.

  4. Summarize health status

    The agent combines all gathered data into a single report on network stability and speed.

FAQ

How the monitoring works

  • 01

    Can the AI execute transactions on Near?

    No. The AI can only read data from the blockchain. It cannot sign or send transactions.

  • 02

    How real-time is the data?

    The data is as real-time as the Near blockchain itself, as the AI pulls the latest available blocks and stats.

  • 03

    Can the AI fix network congestion?

    No. The AI can only report on congestion. You must take manual action to address any network issues.

  • 04

    Does the AI store my private keys?

    No. This MCP only reads public blockchain data. It has no access to your private keys or wallet.

  • 05

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, you can use it with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
