Incoming Payment Monitor

Why agents use it

Lets agents reconstruct what happened to an address without scanning blocks.

MCP tools

  • get_transaction_history
  • get_block_by_time

Example: get_transaction_history

A representative invocation. Drop this into an MCP-capable agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) after the Tatum MCP server is configured.

get_transaction_history 
mcp.tatumio.get_transaction_history({
  chain:   "ethereum-mainnet",
  address: "0xab5801a7d398351b8be11c439e05c5b3259aec9b",
  pageSize: 25
})
// → { transactions: [{ hash, from, to, value, ... }], cursor: "..." }

Notes

Canonical recipe

For ongoing monitoring prefer Incoming Payment Monitor (webhooks). For historical reconstruction use get_transaction_history via MCP or the Transactions API.

Risk

Read-only. Be conservative with very wide time ranges on busy chains.
