Why people use Tenderly (Ethereum Dev Platform)
Tenderly for Ethereum Smart Contract Debugging
This Connector changes that by letting you describe the scenario to your agent. You can ask it to simulate a bundle of transactions and get an immediate breakdown of the state changes and gas costs. It turns a manual debugging process into a conversation.
What Vinkius changes
You get a sandbox to test blockchain interactions without the risk of real-world errors.

Before you connect
Questions about Tenderly.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can I use the Tenderly MCP to test my smart contracts?
Yes, you can use it to simulate transactions and bundles to see how your code behaves. It gives you a preview of the results and gas costs before you deploy.
Does the Tenderly MCP cost gas to use?
No, simulations happen off-chain. You can run as many simulations as you need without spending any real assets or gas.
How do I create a private test environment with Tenderly MCP?
You can use the Virtual TestNet capability to fork the mainnet. This creates a private replica where you can test your dApp in a production-like environment.
Can the Tenderly MCP monitor my production contracts?
Yes, it allows you to set up alerts for specific method calls, state changes, or balance updates on your live contracts so you stay informed.
Can I simulate multiple transactions at once?
Yes, you can use the bundle simulation capability. This is ideal for seeing how a sequence of actions, like a multi-step swap, interacts with the blockchain.
Is the Tenderly MCP good for DeFi research?
It is excellent for research. It lets you trace complex interactions and analyze protocol behavior without needing to risk real capital.
Can I simulate a transaction without spending real ETH or gas?
Yes! Use the simulate_transaction capability. It runs the transaction against the latest state of the network in a virtual environment, providing full trace and results without any on-chain cost.
How do I create a private fork of Ethereum for testing?
You can use the create_virtual_testnet capability. Provide a slug, display name, and the network ID you want to fork from (e.g., 1 for Mainnet) to spin up a private RPC endpoint.
Can I monitor specific smart contract events automatically?
Absolutely. Use the create_alert capability with an alert_config object to monitor method calls, state changes, or emitted logs on any contract address.
