Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Novai Mcp Server Tools (12)
novai_get_chain_status
Return the latest committed block of the live NOVAI chain: its height, block hash, round, transaction count, state root, and parent hash. Use this to verify the chain is live and advancing, and to learn the current tip height before requesting a specific block. Takes no parameters.
novai_get_block
Fetch a single committed block by height or by hash. Provide exactly one of height or hash. Returns the block height, block hash, parent hash, round, state root, and transaction count, or null if no such block is known. Note: the endpoint retains a bounded recent window of blocks by height, so very old heights can return null even though they were valid blocks. Lookups by hash work for any block the node still indexes.
novai_get_transaction
Fetch a confirmed transaction by its transaction id. Returns the block height, transaction index, sender address, nonce, fee, and payload length, or null if the transaction is not found.
novai_get_ai_entity
Fetch an on-chain AI entity (agent) by its entity id. Returns the entity record including code hash, creator, autonomy mode, capability bits, economic and stake balances, reputation score, transaction count, and activity timestamps, or null if no entity exists for that id.
