NEAR offers multiple tools and resources to help your AI agents build and use NEAR applications. This page provides an overview of the key tools available and how to use them effectively.

llms.txt

When you need to provide your agent with a quick reference to all NEAR docs.

Docs MCP

When you want agents to search docs in real-time for up-to-date details.

Agent Skills

When you need your agent to become an expert in a specific task (e.g. using our API).

NEAR MCP

When your agent needs to perform on-chain actions (e.g., transfers and function calls).

​
llms.txt

What it is: Curated NEAR docs context for coding assistants. Use it when: You need to provide your agent with a quick reference to all NEAR docs. Link: https://docs.near.org/llms.txt
Use #fetch in your prompt:
How can I upgrade a contract state?
#fetch https://docs.near.org/llms.txt
Add docs source once in Cursor Chat:
  1. @ → Docs → + Add new doc
  2. Add: https://docs.near.org/llms.txt
  3. Select the source while prompting

​
Docs MCP endpoint

What it is: An endpoint to search NEAR documentation via MCP. Use it when: You want agents to search docs in real-time for up-to-date details and narrower API lookups. Link: https://docs.near.org/mcp Use two complementary layers:
  1. Static context (llms.txt) for fast, high-signal docs grounding.
  2. Retrieval (Docs MCP) when the agent needs live lookup across docs.

​
NEAR Agent Skills

NEAR Agent Skills are reusable capabilities that package repeatable workflows. Use it when: You need your agent to become an expert in specific tasks (for example, using NEAR APIs). Link: https://github.com/near/agent-skills

​
NEAR MCP Server

The NEAR MCP Server is a tool server (currently 23 tools) that enables agents to perform blockchain operations. Use it when: Your agent needs to hold funds, transfer funds, interact with smart contracts, or perform any action on-chain in NEAR Protocol Repo: https://github.com/nearai/near-mcp Remote deployment guide: https://github.com/nearai/near-mcp/blob/main/tee.md
The NEAR MCP is designed to run locally or on your trusted infrastructure because it handles private keys. There is no hosted public version.
