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.
