Can you get and manage blockchain node endpoints via API?

Yes. With GetBlock’s Platform API, everything you’d normally do with endpoints in the dashboard becomes a request: get RPC URL, delete what you don’t use, check how much compute budget is left. Your CI pipeline or an AI agent can handle these tasks for you.

What’s the difference between a Platform API key and an RPC access token?

They do different jobs. An RPC access token is part of your endpoint URL and lets an app send blockchain requests, like reading balances or sending transactions. The Platform API key (it starts with gb_) manages your GetBlock account’s endpoints.

Can AI agents manage blockchain infrastructure?

Yes. Agents can connect to infrastructure providers through MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or Cursor use outside tools. GetBlock, for example, offers an MCP endpoint for its Platform API, the REST API for managing GetBlock RPC endpoints. Through it, an agent can look up supported chains and deploy node endpoints.
