A Shared Source of Truth for Your Team

Set up the Aurorascan server once in your project's `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repo. Now every developer on your team automatically gets the same set of tools in their VS Code Copilot Chat. No more asking teammates for the current gas price or contract address. When a PM asks for the balance of a treasury wallet, anyone on the team can ask Copilot. The agent will use the `get_balance` tool and provide the same, live answer to everyone. This ensures your team is always working from the latest on-chain data.

Inspect and Verify Contracts

The `get_source_code` tool lets any developer pull the verified source for an Aurora contract directly into their editor. This is invaluable during code reviews or when integrating a third-party protocol. You can see the exact code that's running on-chain. You can even have Copilot's agent help with security checks. Ask it to `verify_source_code` for a contract you've deployed, or use `get_abi` to compare the functions of a new version against an old one. This makes your team's development process more secure.

Query the Chain with your Copilot Agent

This MCP Server connects Copilot Chat directly to the Aurora blockchain. Any developer can now ask complex questions in plain English, like 'Show me the last 5 blocks mined by this address' or 'What's the total supply of this ERC20 token?'. Copilot's agent translates those questions into calls using tools like `get_mined_blocks` and `get_token_supply`. It's a faster, more interactive way for your team to get information from the network than manually using a block explorer or writing one-off scripts.
