Etherscan has officially launched a new AI-focused tool suite that enables developers and agents to directly access the same reliable on-chain data available on the Etherscan platform. Covering more than 60 EVM-compatible chains, the suite delivers structured, certified real-time data access for AI agents through three channels: MCP, CLI, and Skills. Specifically, Etherscan MCP supports mainstream programming agents such as Claude and Codex to query on-chain information using natural language; the CLI tool outputs clean JSON, table, or CSV results in the terminal and features an interactive interface; the Skills module integrates specialized capabilities including Orchestrator, contract review, transaction debugging, and process orchestration, helping agents efficiently tackle complex tasks. Etherscan noted that these tools are designed to lower the barrier for AI to interact with blockchain data, with developers able to get started quickly by referencing the official documentation, and the platform also welcomes user feedback on usage experiences or sharing innovative applications built with these tools.
