Initializes a Blockscout MCP session: returns server reference data, the
`blockscout-analysis` skill pointer, and the URI resolution rule. Call this tool
exactly once per session, before any other tool, and reuse its payload for the
rest of the session; do not call it again.
get_block_info
Get block information like timestamp, gas used, burnt fees, transaction count etc.
Can optionally include the list of transaction hashes contained in the block. Transaction hashes are omitted by default; request them only when you truly need them, because on high-traffic chains the list may exha
get_block_number
Retrieves the block number and timestamp for a specific date/time or the latest block.
Use when you need a block height for a specific point in time (e.g., "block at 2024-01-01")
or the current chain tip. If `datetime` is provided, finds the block immediately
preceding that time. If omit
get_address_by_ens_name
Useful for when you need to convert an ENS domain name (e.g. "blockscout.eth")
to its corresponding Ethereum address.
get_transactions_by_address
Retrieves native currency transfers and smart contract interactions (calls, internal txs) for an address.
**EXCLUDES TOKEN TRANSFERS**: Filters out direct token balance changes (ERC-20, etc.). You'll see calls *to* token contracts, but not the `Transfer` events. For token history, use `get_token
get_token_transfers_by_address
Get ERC-20 token transfers for an address within a specific time range.
**SUPPORTS PAGINATION**: If response includes 'pagination' field, use the provided next_call to get additional pages.
lookup_token_by_symbol
Search for token addresses by symbol or name. Returns multiple potential
matches based on symbol or token name similarity. Only the first
7 matches from the Blockscout API are returned.
get_contract_abi
Get smart contract ABI (Application Binary Interface).
An ABI defines all functions, events, their parameters, and return types. The ABI is required to format function calls or interpret contract data.
inspect_contract_code
Inspects a verified contract's source code or metadata.
read_contract
Calls a smart contract function (view/pure, or non-view/pure simulated via eth_call) and returns the
decoded result.
This tool provides a direct way to query the state of a smart contract.
Example:
To check the USDT balance of an address on Ethereum Mainnet, you wou
get_address_info
Get comprehensive information about an address, including:
- Address existence check
- Native token (ETH) balance (provided as is, without adjusting by decimals)
- First transaction details (block number and timestamp) for age calculation
- ENS name association (if any)
- Contrac
get_tokens_by_address
Get comprehensive ERC20 token holdings for an address with enriched metadata and market data.
Returns detailed token information including contract details (name, symbol, decimals), market metrics (exchange rate, market cap, volume), holders count, and actual balance (provided as is, without adj
nft_tokens_by_address
Retrieve NFT tokens (ERC-721, ERC-404, ERC-1155) owned by an address, grouped by collection.
Provides collection details (type, address, name, symbol, total supply, holder count) and individual token instance data (ID, name, description, external URL, metadata attributes).
Essential for a de
get_transaction_info
Get comprehensive transaction information.
Unlike standard eth_getTransactionByHash, this tool returns enriched data including decoded input parameters, detailed token transfers with token metadata, transaction fee breakdown (priority fees, burnt fees) and categorized transaction types.
By d
get_chains_list
Get supported blockchain chains with their chain IDs.
Ethereum Mainnet is `chain_id` `1`; use this tool to resolve any other chain.
Use this when another tool needs a supported `chain_id` and only the chain name,
ecosystem, or native currency is known. Prefer a narrow `query` to avoid r
direct_api_call
Call a raw Blockscout API endpoint for advanced or chain-specific data.
Before the first call to this tool in a session, read
`blockscout-mcp://skill/SKILL.md` (the operating rules), then
`blockscout-mcp://skill/references/blockscout-api-index.md` (the authoritative
index of callabl

Monitor your own MCP server
Get alerted the moment yours goes down, a tool schema drifts, or an upstream silently breaks.
What this means. This server responded to the MCP handshake and listed its tools without authentication. The schema fingerprint lets us flag if tool signatures silently change (schema drift) between checks.
