AntChain deployment for VS Code Copilot teams

Commit your configuration to `.vscode/mcp.json` so every dev on your team has access to `deploy_contract`. It makes launching new smart contracts a standard part of the team's sprint. Run `invoke_contract` to ensure your team's code behaves as expected on the chain. You get clear output on gas consumption and success status.

Query AntChain status in VS Code Copilot

Keep the whole team synced by using `query_network_info` to check infrastructure status. It prevents deployments on unstable or misconfigured chains. Use `query_contract` to inspect existing code configurations. This helps developers verify the interface before they write any integration logic.

Audit AntChain logs in VS Code Copilot

Track historical data by calling `query_transaction` or `query_latest_transactions`. These tools provide the evidence you need for audits or debugging sessions. Verify block metadata with `query_block`. It's a quick way to look up timestamps and hash details whenever you're reviewing network performance.

Setup guide

Set up AntChain 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 AntChain 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 AntChain tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent AntChain transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
