How to debug EVM smart contracts with your AI

Connect Shiden Scan to your AI client to turn raw blockchain data into actionable debugging insights. Your agent handles the data fetching while you focus on the logic.

Short answer

How can I use AI to debug my smart contracts?

Your AI pulls contract metadata and transaction history directly from the Shiden Network. It then analyzes these logs to confirm if function calls executed correctly and if the state changed as expected. You get a clear view of contract behavior without manual block explorer searching.

Where every issue lands.

Debugging outcomes

The AI processes raw chain data into these specific debugging results.

LOGS

Verified event logs

The AI pulls transaction logs to confirm that specific events were emitted during execution. This proves your contract is firing the right signals.

STATE

State change analysis

By checking contract metadata, your agent tracks how variables change after a transaction. You can see exactly how the internal state shifted.

CALLS

Function call validation

Your AI inspects transaction data to ensure function arguments match what you intended. It catches mismatches between your code and the actual on-chain calls.

HUMAN

Manual logic review

The AI identifies where the data contradicts your code. You then step in to fix the underlying Solidity logic or deployment errors.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

Your agent acts as a bridge between the Shiden Network and your debugging environment.

  1. Fetch contract data

    The AI retrieves the specific bytecode and metadata for the contract you are testing.

    get_evm_contract

  2. Pull transaction history

    Your agent gathers a list of recent transactions to find the specific calls you need to inspect.

    list_evm_transactions

  3. Analyze execution logs

    The AI parses the transaction data to verify that function calls and state changes match your expectations.

    list_evm_transactions

  4. Report discrepancies

    The agent compares the retrieved contract metadata against the observed transaction behavior to highlight errors.

    get_evm_contract

  • Get the metadata for contract 0x123... and tell me what functions are available.

  • List the last 10 transactions for contract 0xabc... and check if the state changed.

  • Look at transaction 0xdef... and verify if the function call arguments are correct.

  • Compare the contract metadata for 0x456... with the recent transaction logs to find errors.

FAQ

Common questions

  • 01

    Can the AI execute transactions on the Shiden Network?

    No. The AI can only read contract metadata and transaction logs. It cannot send transactions or modify the blockchain.

  • 02

    Does the AI see my private keys?

    No. This MCP only provides read-only access to public blockchain data through Shiden Scan.

  • 03

    Can it debug non-EVM chains?

    No. This specific tool is built for EVM-compatible data on the Shiden Network.

  • 04

    Can the AI fix my smart contract code automatically?

    No. The AI identifies errors in the data, but you must manually edit and redeploy your code.

  • 05

    How does it get the transaction data?

    It uses the Shiden Scan explorer to pull real-time logs and contract information.
