Perplexity

Share blockchain access across teams

Setting up local RPC nodes for every developer wastes massive amounts of time. Committing a shared MCP configuration file to your repository solves this instantly. Anyone cloning the repo gets immediate access to `check_api_status` and the rest of the toolkit. Enterprise teams need consistent environments. Your agent uses the exact same connection parameters for every engineer who opens the project. This guarantees that `get_latest_block_number` returns identical results across the entire organization.

Query wallet data in VS Code Copilot

Reviewing smart contract interactions requires checking actual balances. Developers execute `get_wallet_balance` through the chat interface to verify testnet or mainnet funds. The editor displays the raw wei values inline with the code. Tracking down specific assets takes seconds instead of minutes. Sending an address to `get_owned_nfts` lists the exact tokens held by that user. You avoid context switching to external block explorers while debugging complex web3 logic.

Analyze transactions without leaving the editor

Failed transactions block development progress. Feeding a hash into `get_transaction_receipt` pulls the exact gas usage and logs directly into your workspace. The AI uses this data to suggest fixes for reverted contract calls. Token transfers require precise decimal handling. Calling `get_token_balances` retrieves all ERC-20 holdings for any address you specify. An MCP Server integration means you stop guessing about on-chain states and start working with facts.

Setup guide

Set up Alchemy MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the Alchemy MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Alchemy tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Alchemy transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alchemy-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Common questions about Alchemy MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project root and commit it to source control. Every developer who pulls the repository will automatically inherit the connection settings.

Yes. The agent reads the raw integer values and can write the conversion logic for you. Just ask it to translate the output into standard ether units.

Vinkius manages the endpoint connections with SOC 2 compliance in mind. The tool requires VS Code version 1.96 or higher to function properly.

The network might still be processing the block. Wait a few seconds and run the query again to see if the confirmation went through.

Only the specific transaction hashes, token IDs, and wallet addresses you query are transmitted. The Vinkius environment processes these through a stateless V8 isolate. Your internal source code and repository structure remain completely private.
