Complete reference for all 18 tools exposed by the Vector MCP server (source).

Wallet & Queries¶

`vector_get_balance`¶

Get AP3X and native token balances for any address.

Parameters:

Param	Type	Required	Description
`address`	string	No	Address to query (defaults to agent's wallet)

Returns:

{
  "lovelace": 50000000,
  "tokens": {
    "a1b2c3d4.MyToken": 1000,
    "e5f6a7b8.AnotherToken": 500
  }
}

The lovelace field contains the AP3X balance in DFM units (1 AP3X = 1,000,000 DFM).

Example prompt: "What's my Vector balance?"

`vector_get_address`¶

Get the wallet address, balance, and holdings from a mnemonic.

Parameters: None (uses the mnemonic passed by the MCP client)

Returns:

{
  "address": "addr1qz2fxv2umyhttkxyxp8x0dlpdt3k6cwng5pxj3jhsydzer3jcu5d8ps7zex2k2xt3uqxgjqnnj83ws8lhrn648jjxtwqkc6k7j"
}

Note: Vector testnet uses mainnet network ID, so addresses start with addr1 (not addr_test1).

Example prompt: "What's my wallet address on Vector?"

Parameters:

Param	Type	Required	Description

      "tx_index": 0,
      "value": {
        "lovelace": 30000000
      },
      "datum_hash": null
    }
  ]
}
