get_erc20_balance
Retrieve ERC20 token balances for a specific address on supported networks, including BSC, Ethereum, and others, by providing the token contract address and network details.
Instructions
Get ERC20 token balance for an address
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| address | Yes | The address to check balance for | |
| network | No | Network name (e.g. 'bsc', 'opbnb', 'ethereum', 'base', etc.) or chain ID. Supports others main popular networks. Defaults to BSC mainnet. | bsc |
| tokenAddress | Yes | The ERC20 token contract address |
Implementation Reference
- src/evm/services/balance.ts:46-86 (handler)The core handler function that resolves addresses, fetches ERC20 balance, symbol, and decimals from the blockchain, and formats the result.
export async function getERC20Balance( tokenAddressOrEns: string, ownerAddressOrEns: string, network = "ethereum" ): Promise<{ raw: bigint formatted: string symbol: string decimals: number network: string tokenAddress: Address ownerAddress: Address }> { // Resolve ENS names to addresses if needed const tokenAddress = await resolveAddress(tokenAddressOrEns, network) const ownerAddress = await resolveAddress(ownerAddressOrEns, network) const publicClient = getPublicClient(network) const contract = getContract({ address: tokenAddress, abi: ERC20_ABI, client: publicClient }) const [balance, symbol, decimals] = await Promise.all([ contract.read.balanceOf([ownerAddress]) as Promise<bigint>, contract.read.symbol() as Promise<string>, contract.read.decimals() as Promise<number> ]) return { raw: balance, formatted: formatUnits(balance, decimals), symbol, decimals, network, tokenAddress, ownerAddress } } - src/evm/modules/tokens/tools.ts:60-82 (registration)Registers the 'get_erc20_balance' MCP tool, including input schema validation with Zod and a wrapper handler that calls the core getERC20Balance service.
