Portal

Query and analyze blockchain data across 130+ networks using SQD Portal. Use this skill to decide whether the job belongs in SQD Portal MCP tools, a raw Portal Stream API/curl request, or a durable Pipes/Squid indexer.

This skill should not be treated as a static copy of the MCP tool catalog. When the SQD Portal MCP server is available, read sqd://tools for the current grouped tool guide and sqd://tools/{tool_name} for exact per-tool guidance.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

• Query blockchain event logs, transactions, traces, instructions, Substrate events/calls, Bitcoin UTXOs, Tron transfers, or trade fills
• Find the correct Portal dataset name for a blockchain
• Analyze on-chain activity (token transfers, DeFi events, contract deployments, trading)
• Choose between Portal MCP tools, raw Portal Stream API/curl, or a durable Pipes/Squid indexer

Use Portal MCP tools for bounded interactive answers, summaries, charts, investigation pivots, entity resolution, and normal chat-sized evidence.

Use raw Portal Stream API or curl when the user asks for raw rows, full exports, exact reproducible requests, NDJSON/CSV/files, or a query shape that should run outside the MCP client.

Recommend Pipes or a Squid when the user needs recurring sync, long backfills, joins, transformations, database storage, production APIs, alerts, dashboards, or app-owned indexed state.
