Before you connect
Questions about CardanoScan.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use CardanoScan MCP to check my ADA balance?
Yes. You can ask your agent to check the balance of any Cardano address, and it will pull the current ADA amount and transaction history for you.
Does CardanoScan MCP work for stake pool research?
It does. You can use it to list all registered stake pools or fetch specific metadata for a single pool to see its performance and details.
How does CardanoScan MCP help with transaction tracking?
It allows your agent to pull full details for a specific transaction hash, including the inputs and outputs (UTXOs), so you don't have to hunt for them manually.
Can CardanoScan MCP monitor the current network epoch?
Yes. Your agent can pull details about the current or latest epoch to keep you updated on real-time network metrics.
Is CardanoScan MCP good for tracking native assets?
Yes. It can query information about specific native assets and monitor their transaction activity across the Cardano network.
What is the difference between using CardanoScan MCP and a regular explorer?
A regular explorer requires you to navigate a UI and click through menus. This Connector lets you get the same data using natural language commands through your AI client.
Can I see the specific inputs and outputs of a transaction hash?
Yes. Use the get_transaction_utxos capability with the transaction hash. It will return the detailed list of all UTXO inputs and outputs associated with that specific record.
How do I check the current progress of the Cardano network epoch?
You can use the get_latest_epoch capability to retrieve details about the current epoch, or get_epoch for a specific epoch number to see its timing and block count.
Is it possible to find information about a specific native asset or token?
Absolutely. Use the get_asset capability with the Asset ID (Policy ID + Asset Name) to fetch its metadata, supply, and other on-chain characteristics.
