Blockscout MCP
get_block_number
Retrieves the block number and timestamp for a specific date/time or the latest block. Use when you need a block height for a specific point in time (e.g., "block at 2024-01-01") or the current chain tip. If `datetime` is provided, finds the block immediately preceding that time. If omitted, returns the latest indexed block.
