Starton

@starton show me all the smart contract templates available for ERC-721 NFT minting

Here are the ERC-721 templates from Starton's library: **ERC721 Basic** (simple NFT with metadata URI), **ERC721 Enumerable** (adds token enumeration for marketplaces), and **ERC721 Burnable** (allows token destruction). Each template includes pre-audited Solidity code, deployment parameters like name/symbol/baseURI, and estimated gas costs. The Basic template is recommended for straightforward NFT projects, while Enumerable suits platforms needing on-chain token discovery.

This example shows how Starton surfaces its curated template library, helping developers skip boilerplate setup. The MCP returns metadata about each template but doesn't deploy anything — you'd follow up with a deployment prompt. Requires valid API key with project read access.

@starton deploy the ERC721 Basic template to Polygon Mumbai testnet with name 'TeamBadges' and symbol 'BADGE'

Deployment initiated. Contract **TeamBadges (BADGE)** is being deployed to Polygon Mumbai via Starton's relayer network. Transaction hash: 0x7f3a2... Estimated confirmation in 15-30 seconds. Once confirmed, the contract address will be added to your project's deployment list and you can start minting tokens. Deployment cost: ~0.02 MATIC (covered by your Starton gas tank balance).

This demonstrates Starton's core value: gasless deployment through their managed infrastructure. The MCP handles transaction signing and gas payment, so you don't need wallet setup. Be aware this creates a real on-chain contract (even on testnet) and consumes your account's gas credits. Requires API key with deployment permissions.

@starton create a watcher for Transfer events on contract 0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEb and send notifications to our #nft-activity webhook

Event watcher created (ID: watcher_8k3mP...). Now monitoring **Transfer** events on contract 0x742d35Cc... Every time tokens move, Starton will POST event data (from/to addresses, tokenId, block number) to your configured webhook endpoint. The watcher is active immediately and will capture historical events from the last 100 blocks. You can retrieve or delete this watcher anytime using its ID.

This showcases Starton's event-monitoring infrastructure, which eliminates the need to run your own blockchain node. The MCP sets up the watcher but doesn't configure the webhook URL itself — that's managed in your Starton dashboard. Useful for triggering off-chain workflows (Discord bots, database updates) from on-chain activity. Watcher quotas vary by plan tier.

When Starton makes sense for small-scale blockchain event tracking

A 3-person community team running NFT drops on Polygon needs to know when mints happen so they can send welcome messages. Starton's watcher tools let you set up event listeners without running your own node infrastructure. The MCP gives you programmatic access to create watchers, check their status, and delete them when a campaign ends. This works well if you're managing under 20 active watchers and your team already uses Starton's API elsewhere. If you're tracking hundreds of contract events or need sub-second latency, you'll hit rate limits and want a dedicated indexer instead. For small teams shipping one or two drops per quarter, Starton keeps the ops overhead low and the setup repeatable through Switchy.

Using Starton to track which contracts your dev team shipped

A 5-person Web3 startup deploys smart contracts to testnet and mainnet every sprint. The CTO needs a single source of truth for what's live, when it was deployed, and which template it came from. Starton's deployment retrieval tools let you pull that history into Switchy so the team can review it during retros or handoff meetings. The MCP is useful here because you're not writing code—you're asking questions like 'show me all mainnet deployments from the last two weeks' and getting structured answers. This breaks down if your team uses multiple deployment platforms or if you need to cross-reference on-chain transaction data that Starton doesn't surface. For teams that standardize on Starton templates and want a lightweight audit log, this MCP closes the loop without custom scripting.

When Starton helps support teams debug blockchain integrations

A SaaS company offers blockchain notifications to enterprise customers. When a customer reports missing webhook events, the support engineer needs to check if the watcher is configured correctly and still active. Starton's watcher and webhook retrieval tools let the support team inspect configurations without asking engineering to run database queries. The MCP surfaces watcher IDs, event filters, and webhook URLs in plain language, so a non-technical support rep can verify setup and escalate with context. This is practical for teams handling under 50 support tickets per month where blockchain config is a recurring issue. If your volume is higher or you need real-time debugging, you'll want observability tooling that integrates with your logging stack. For small support teams bridging the gap to engineering, Starton's MCP turns opaque blockchain plumbing into readable diagnostics.
