Notes
- Results include
artBlocksUrlfor each project — use these when presenting projects to users - The
artistSlugfield in results (underartistProfiles) can be used for subsequent lookups - The tool excludes unassigned/test projects automatically
- If the artist name is ambiguous (partial match returns multiple artists), the
artistNamesarray will show all matched names projectIndexis the project number on the contract (e.g.78);idis the full project ID (e.g.0xa7d8...d270-78)

mint-artblocks-token
Mint (purchase) an Art Blocks token using the artblocks-mcp tools. Use when a user wants to mint, purchase, or buy an Art Blocks NFT, or needs to understand minting mechanics, minter types, pricing, allowlists, Dutch auctions, or build_purchase_transaction.
14configure-postparams
Configure PostParam (Post-Mint Parameter / PMP) values on Art Blocks tokens using artblocks-mcp. Use when a user wants to customize, update, or set on-chain parameters on a minted token, or when working with build_configure_postparams_transaction, discover_postparams, or post-mint configuration.
14scaffold-art-script
Build or convert Art Blocks generative art scripts using artblocks-mcp. Use when helping a user create, scaffold, port, or convert an art script for Art Blocks, or when working with tokenData, hash-based PRNG, FLEX dependencies, PostParams, window.$features traits, p5.js, Three.js, or the Art Blocks generator format.
14discover-artblocks-projects
Browse, search, and explore Art Blocks projects, collections, and collector portfolios using artblocks-mcp. Use when a user wants to find, filter, browse, or explore Art Blocks projects by name, artist, vertical, chain, tag, floor price, or mintability status, or when asking what is minting now, what is dropping soon, what tokens a wallet holds, or to get a portfolio summary. Uses discover_projects, get_project, discover_live_mints, discover_upcoming_releases, get_wallet_summary, get_wallet_tokens, get_artist, and list_tags.
14query-artblocks-data
Query Art Blocks on-chain data using the artblocks-mcp GraphQL tools. Use when fetching projects, tokens, artists, sales, traits, or any Art Blocks on-chain data via graphql_query, build_query, explore_table, graphql_introspection, validate_fields, or query_optimizer. These are advanced escape-hatch tools — prefer domain-specific tools (discover_projects, get_project, get_artist, get_wallet_tokens, get_token_metadata) when they cover the use case.
13get-token-metadata
Retrieve rich metadata for a specific Art Blocks token using artblocks-mcp. Use when a user wants to look up a minted token's details, traits, features, media URLs, owner, listing info, live view, or project context using get_token_metadata.
