Overview

Use Cases

1. New Accounts: Use getDailyAccounts for daily new addresses (newAddressSeen), as an activity proxy—not precise DAU.
2. Daily Transaction Count: Use getTransactionStatistics and getTriggerStatistic for tx and contract call volume.
3. Transaction Type Distribution: Use getTransactionStatistics and getTransferStatistics for type/segment distribution.
4. Hot Tokens: Use getHotSearch for trending tokens with price and activity.
5. Hot Contracts: Use getHotSearch and getTriggerStatistic or getTop10 for hot contracts.
6. Top Accounts by Tx Count: Use getTop10 with appropriate category (e.g. by tx count).
7. Top Account by Staked TRX: Use getTop10 or account list sorted by frozen/stake (category as per API).

• Prerequisite: TronScan MCP Guide

Tools

getDailyAccounts

• API: getDailyAccounts — Get daily new account data (default last 15 days, max 2000 days)
• Data source: Returns newAddressSeen (daily new addresses). This is an activity proxy, not precise DAU.
• Use when: User asks for "new accounts", "daily new addresses", or "new accounts per day".
• If user asks for DAU: First declare that "this API returns daily new addresses, not precise DAU; it can be used as a reference but must not be presented as exact DAU".
• Input: Optional start/end or day count.
• Response: Daily new account series.

getTransactionStatistics

• API: getTransactionStatistics — Get transaction statistics (total tx, token tx volume, etc.)
• Use when: User asks for "transaction count", "tx volume", or "network activity".
• Response: Aggregated tx and token volume.

getTransferStatistics

• API: getTransferStatistics — Get transfer statistics by token type
• Use when: User asks for "transfer distribution" or "tx type distribution".
• Response: Transfer activity by type.

getTriggerStatistic

• API: getTriggerStatistic — Get daily contract trigger data in a time range
• Use when: User asks for "contract calls per day" or "smart contract activity".
• Input: Time range.
• Response: Daily trigger count.

getTop10

• API: getTop10 — Get Top10 rankings (multiple time/category dimensions)
• Use when: User asks for "top 10 accounts", "most tx", "most staked TRX", or similar rankings.
• Input: Category, time range (as per API).
• Response: Top 10 list for selected dimension.

getHotSearch

• API: getHotSearch — Get hot tokens and contracts (trading metrics and price data)
• Use when: User asks for "hot tokens", "hot contracts", or "trending on TRON".
• Response: Hot tokens/contracts with price and activity.

getHomepageData

• API: getHomepageData — Get homepage data (TPS, node count, overview, frozen, TVL, etc.)
• Use when: User asks for "TRON overview" or "network summary".
• Response: TPS, nodes, overview, TVL, frozen.

getCurrentTps

• API: getCurrentTps — Get current TPS, latest block height, and historical max TPS
• Use when: User asks for "current TPS" or "network throughput".
• Response: currentTps, latest block, max TPS.

getTriggerAmountStatistic

• API: getTriggerAmountStatistic — Get contract call volume distribution by date
• Use when: User asks for "contract call distribution" by date.

getContractCallerStatisticOverview

• API: getContractCallerStatisticOverview — Get contract caller statistics (default last 7 days)
• Use when: User asks for "who is calling contracts" or "caller overview".

Troubleshooting

• MCP connection failed: If you see "Connection refused", verify TronScan MCP is connected in Settings > Extensions.
• API rate limit / 429: TronScan API has call count and frequency limits when no API key is used. If you encounter rate limiting or 429 errors, go to TronScan Developer API to apply for an API key, then add it to your MCP configuration and retry.

Empty or unexpected results

Check time range parameters; some APIs have default limits (e.g. getDailyAccounts max 2000 days).

Notes

• getDailyAccounts returns newAddressSeen (daily new addresses)—an activity proxy, not precise DAU. When user asks for DAU, the model must first declare that this is a new-address metric and must not be presented as exact DAU.
• Top accounts by "staked TRX" use getTop10 with the appropriate category (see TronScan API list for category values).
• For a single dashboard of "what’s happening", combine: getHomepageData + getCurrentTps + getHotSearch + getTop10 + getTransactionStatistics.
