• mediumReviewRemote tools take credentials as input

  Whatever an agent passes to a remote tool leaves the machine. Never send connection strings, tokens or passwords to a third-party MCP server unless it is the service those credentials belong to.

• mediumReviewTool definitions changed after an earlier review

  A server that changes its tool descriptions after being approved ("rug pull") can slip new instructions to agents. Re-check what changed before trusting it.

Tools (15)

• read_doc

  Read the raw Markdown content of a documentation page from /md/{lang}/{path}.md. Path must be an internal relative path (e.g. 'quickstart', 'guides/ai-agents', 'api/json-rpc', 'chains').

• search_docs

  Search documentation pages using keywords against page title, relative path, and first-paragraph summary. Returns matching page titles, paths, and summaries.

• list_chains

  Fetch supported blockchain networks and static parameters from `GET /v1/chains`. `methods.allow` and `methods.deny` support wildcard patterns where `deny` takes precedence over `allow`. `state_window_blocks` indicates the historical state window in blocks for state queries (null when full history is available); `max_logs_block_range` limits `eth_getLogs`: the range is inclusive, so `toBlock - fromBlock + 1` must not exceed it, otherwise the call fails with `logs_range_too_large`. `public` describes the keyless endpoint: `public.url` serves only the methods in `public.methods`, and `public.history_blocks` is how far back a block reference may reach on that endpoint (it does not add methods). Pass `chain` (a slug such as `base_mainnet`) to return only that chain.

• get_status

  Live operational status and network health from `GET /v1/status`. Confirm chain `status` is 'ok' before calling methods; see `list_chains` for static chain capabilities and method policies. For Data API, `data_status` can be 'ok', 'syncing' (queryable and billed normally, but indexing is lagging behind latest block time), or 'unavailable'.

• get_pricing

  Live prices and plan limits from `GET /v1/plans`. Use before estimating cost or when asked about free credits, rate limits or per-method prices. Units: 1 billing unit = `pricing.cu_per_unit` CU; 1 USD buys `pricing.units_per_usd` units. `method_weights` includes JSON-RPC and Data API CU per call, `push.log` / `push.native_transfer` / `push.token_transfer` per delivered data event, `push.history` per successful history request and `push.address_day` per billable address-day; resolve a method by exact match, then the longest prefix rule ending in `*`, then the `*` row (JSON-RPC only; Data API and push operations have no default). `free.*` values are in billing units; `key_defaults` are per-key CU/s and burst CU. `promo.ends_at` is a sign-up coverage cutoff, not the end of the offer. For a single method's chain support and documentation use get_method_info instead; for projecting cycle costs use estimate_usage instead.

• estimate_usage

  Calculate projected daily and billing cycle Compute Units (CU) and USD costs for planned call volumes across one or more methods, factoring in method weights and free credit allowances from /v1/plans. Also evaluates whether traffic requires multiple API keys under key_defaults. Use this tool for volume budget calculations and capacity planning. For looking up raw system pricing tables, use get_pricing instead. For checking whether a single method is supported on a specific chain, use get_method_info instead. Accepts 'lines' array of {method, calls_per_day} or single 'method' and 'calls_per_day'.

• how_to_get_api_key

  Get instructions and endpoints for obtaining a BlockVectra API key via preferred programmatic SIWE sign-up or browser handoff, plus authentication header and URL formats for JSON-RPC and Data API.

• get_method_info

  Inspect a single method's chain-by-chain availability, Compute Unit (CU) weight, price per million calls, and documentation link. Check JSON-RPC method policy and Data API dataset coverage separately. JSON-RPC follows methods.allow and methods.deny from /v1/chains. Data API coverage follows data_features in GET /v1/status, with data enabled in /v1/chains. Pricing comes from /v1/plans. For the full system-wide pricing schedule and rate card, use get_pricing instead. For calculating projected bills for expected call volumes across methods, use estimate_usage instead.

• explain_error

  Lookup error code, reason, or HTTP status in the official error reference catalog. Returns meaning, billing implications (whether the call was billed), retryability, retry delay, recommended agent action, and documentation URL.

• list_docs

  List all available documentation pages, relative paths, and titles from the static documentation index, including webhook push subscriptions, signatures, delivery and billing. No API key required.

• rpc_call

  Execute a read-only JSON-RPC 2.0 method on a specified blockchain network using your BlockVectra API key, or via the keyless public endpoint if available on the chain. Chain slugs look like 'base_mainnet'; take them from list_chains. Without a key the call goes to the keyless endpoint `/v1/{chain}/public` (the chain's `public.url` in list_chains), which only serves the methods listed in that chain's `public.methods`. Write methods (such as 'eth_sendRawTransaction') are not supported in rpc_call; use 'send_raw_transaction' instead. Consult the Ethereum JSON-RPC specification (https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/json-rpc/) and the BlockVectra method reference (https://docs.blockvectra.com/en/api/json-rpc/methods/). With a key, set the 'x-api-key' or 'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header in your MCP client configuration for full access (keys must not be passed in tool parameters or chat). Returns the raw JSON-RPC response from the server.

• data_api_get

  Query the BlockVectra Data API for a specified chain and path using your BlockVectra API key. For endpoint schemas and parameter specifications, see the OpenAPI contract at https://docs.blockvectra.com/openapi/data.yaml. Requires the 'x-api-key' or 'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header in your MCP client configuration (keys must not be passed in tool parameters or chat). Returns the HTTP status and JSON response body.

• get_account

  Get the API key's own balance, Compute Units (CU), rate limits, and key parameters from GET /v1/account using your BlockVectra API key. Free and unbilled. Requires the 'x-api-key' or 'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header in your MCP client configuration (never pass keys in tool parameters or chat). Returns the account's key_id, plan, balance_units, balance_cu, balance_as_of_age_ms, and key limits.

• get_deposit_address

  Requires an API key. Get your account's dedicated on-chain deposit address and open networks to top up balance; only transfer to the listed networks and tokens.

• send_raw_transaction

  Broadcast a signed raw transaction to a specified blockchain network via eth_sendRawTransaction. Requires the 'x-api-key' or 'Authorization: Bearer <key>' HTTP header in your MCP client configuration for full access, or uses the keyless public endpoint if permitted on the chain (keys must not be passed in tool parameters or chat). Returns the transaction hash or JSON-RPC error.
