How to Use the Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) MCP in VS Code Copilot
Equip your entire engineering team with live Aptos blockchain data directly inside VS Code Copilot.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Aptoscan (Aptos Blockchain Explorer API) to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Sync Aptos data across your VS Code team
Standardizing how a team fetches blockchain data usually involves passing around Postman collections or messy shell scripts. This MCP Server embeds that capability directly into the editor everyone already uses. You commit one configuration file, and suddenly every engineer can query the ledger from their chat panel. Developers just ask Copilot to inspect an address. The agent runs `get_account_balance` or `get_account_tokens` and returns formatted results. Because the setup lives in your `.vscode/mcp.json` file, new hires get access to these exact same debugging tools the minute they clone the repository.
Audit on-chain Move resources
Security reviews require comparing local source code against the bytecode actually running on the network. Doing this manually is tedious and prone to human error. Copilot automates the fetching process so you can focus on the logic. You tell the AI to pull a specific contract. It executes `get_account_modules` to grab the deployed code and `get_account_resources` to check the current variable states. Copilot then compares this live data against your local workspace to spot discrepancies or unexpected state changes.
Analyze Aptos blocks and transactions
Building indexing services or analytics dashboards requires deep diving into historical network data. Instead of writing throwaway Python scripts to check block structures, you can just ask Copilot to fetch the exact payloads you need. The agent uses `get_block_by_height` to pull down entire block headers and payloads. If you are tracking a specific state change, `get_transaction_by_version` grabs the exact ledger version. Copilot formats the JSON output so you can instantly write parsing logic around it.
