Perplexity

Trace transactions inside VS Code Copilot

Debugging smart contracts or data uploads shouldn't require switching to an external block explorer. This MCP Server gives Copilot direct access to the permaweb, letting it pull transaction details using `get_transaction` and `get_transaction_status`. Your team can quickly verify if a transaction is pending or confirmed without leaving the code. It keeps your development loop tight and focused on the editor.

Query network topology and storage costs

Planning decentralized architecture requires real-time network metrics. Your agent can call `get_network_info` and `get_peers` to analyze current block heights and node distribution directly inside your workspace. Using this MCP setup prevents costly budgeting mistakes. Having these metrics handy prevents costly budgeting mistakes.

Run complex GraphQL queries from your editor

Searching for permanent files on the permaweb is simple when your agent can query the gateway directly. Copilot uses `query_graphql` to search transactions by tags, content types, or owners. It retrieves raw transaction offsets using `get_transaction_offset` to help you calculate exact data sizes. This gives your team a powerful tool to build complex indexing queries on the fly.
