Contract Inspector FAQs

Question 1

What is Contract Inspector and its primary purpose?

Accepted Answer

Contract Inspector is a local tool that retrieves on-chain Ethereum smart contract information via the MCP protocol. Its primary purpose is to seamlessly integrate this data with AI tools like Cursor for enhanced analysis and querying capabilities.

Question 2

How does Contract Inspector integrate with AI tools like Cursor?

Accepted Answer

After a simple configuration in Cursor's MCP settings, Cursor automatically manages Contract Inspector's local service lifecycle. This means Cursor starts and stops the service as needed, allowing AI queries to directly access Ethereum smart contract data.

Question 3

What specific smart contract information can Contract Inspector retrieve?

Accepted Answer

It can retrieve comprehensive EVM contract on-chain information, call parameter-less view functions, and integrates data from both Etherscan and RPC nodes. All output is provided in a standard JSON format.

Question 4

Do I need to manually run or manage the Contract Inspector service?

Accepted Answer

No, you do not. A key feature is that Cursor automatically handles the local MCP service's startup and shutdown once configured. Users do not need to manually launch or manage any servers.

Question 5

What are the main benefits of using Contract Inspector?

Accepted Answer

Key benefits include efficient local and concurrent on-chain data retrieval, seamless integration into AI development workflows, access to combined Etherscan and RPC data, and the ability to query contract view functions, all designed to enhance smart contract analysis.
