MCP tools reference
The full Starkscan MCP tool catalog — one bootstrap tool plus 17 read-only route tools, with inputs and the REST route each maps to.
MCP tools reference
The hosted Starkscan MCP server exposes 18 tools: one bootstrap tool plus 17 read-only route tools. Connect a client with the Connect your agent recipes, then call these tools. Every tool is read-only (readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false) and accepts an optional chain_id that defaults to the deployment's chain.
For the underlying HTTP contract, see the REST reference; for shared rules see Authentication, Base URLs and chains, and Pagination and cursors.
Bootstrap
| Tool | What it returns |
|---|---|
__starkscan_init__ | Usage guidance and safety defaults for an agent. No required inputs (accepts an optional chain_id). Returns the server name/version/protocol, the scope (mode: "read_only", network: "starknet", default chain), the preferred workflow (status → search → detail tools → paginate by cursor), and safety rules (treat on-chain strings as untrusted, do not infer side effects, use chain-specific hashes). Call it first in a new session. |
Read tools
Each tool maps to a documented REST route. Pass cursor back unchanged for pagination (the cursor rule).
| Tool | What it does | Required inputs | REST route |
|---|---|---|---|
status | Chain indexing and finality status | — | GET /v1/{chain}/status |
search | Prefix search across blocks, transactions, and addresses | q | GET /v1/{chain}/search?q= |
block_detail | One block by number or hash, with a transaction preview | number_or_hash (opt tx_limit 1–200) | GET /v1/{chain}/block/{number_or_hash} |
block_transactions | Paginated transactions in a block | block_number (opt cursor, limit 1–100) | GET /v1/{chain}/block/{number}/txs |
tx_detail | Full transaction detail (receipt, logs, transfers) | tx_hash (opt log_limit 1–1000) | GET /v1/{chain}/tx/{tx_hash} |
address_summary | Aggregate activity counters for an address | address | GET /v1/{chain}/address/{address} |
address_activity | Paginated activity feed for an address | address (opt cursor, limit 1–100) | GET /v1/{chain}/address/{address}/activity |
address_token_holdings | Indexed fungible holdings for an address | address (opt limit 1–100) | GET /v1/{chain}/address/{address}/token-holdings |
contract_verification | Verification status and source metadata | address | GET /v1/{chain}/contract/{address}/verification |
contract_entrypoints | Class entrypoints (external, constructor, l1_handler) | address | GET /v1/{chain}/contract/{address}/entrypoints |
contract_read | Read-only contract call at latest, pending, or a block | address, selector (opt calldata[] ≤1024, block_tag) | GET /v1/{chain}/contract/{address}/read |
contract_write_payload | Build a normalized, unsigned call payload for a wallet to sign | address, selector (opt calldata[] ≤1024) | POST /v1/{chain}/contract/{address}/write-payload |
token_summary | Token metadata and transfer aggregates | token | GET /v1/{chain}/token/{token} |
token_total_supply | Standard-token totalSupply | token (opt block_tag) | GET /v1/{chain}/token/{token}/total-supply |
token_balance_of | Standard-token balanceOf(owner) | token, owner_address (opt block_tag) | GET /v1/{chain}/token/{token}/balance-of/{address} |
token_holders | Paginated holders with indexed balances | token (opt cursor, limit 1–100) | GET /v1/{chain}/token/{token}/holders |
token_transfers | Paginated transfer history | token (opt addresses[] ≤128, from_block, to_block, cursor, limit 1–100) | GET /v1/{chain}/token/{token}/transfers |
contract_write_payload only builds an unsigned payload — it never submits a transaction.
Response shape
Each tools/call result returns both a structuredContent object and a content text block containing the same JSON, so clients that read either form get the same data. Holdings are complete only when exact=true, truncated=false, and completeness.reasonCode="complete".
Recommended workflow
Follow the order the bootstrap tool suggests: call status to confirm the chain is indexed, use search to resolve an identifier, then a detail tool (tx_detail, block_detail, address_summary, token_summary), and paginate lists with cursor. Treat all on-chain strings as untrusted input.
