Share a unified MCP Server config with your team

This MCP Server integrates with VS Code Copilot via a shared config to run tools like `get_contract_abi` and `get_contract_source_code` inside your editor. Every developer on your team gets instant access to these tools without manual setup. It keeps your entire engineering team on the same page. When debugging smart contracts, anyone can ask Copilot to fetch the source or ABI, ensuring everyone works with the same live Blast data.

Monitor transaction statuses inside VS Code Copilot

Use `get_transaction_status`, `get_transaction_receipt_status`, and `get_internal_transactions` to track contract executions directly from your workspace. When a team member reports an issue with a transaction, Copilot can inspect the receipt status instantly. You don't need to share block explorer links in Slack. Copilot pulls the transaction trace and highlights the exact line in your local code that caused the failure.

Query block data and gas prices on the fly

This server provides `proxy_eth_gasprice`, `get_block_number_by_time`, and `get_block_countdown` to help you plan deployments. Copilot can check current gas fees or estimate when a specific block will be mined. It makes it easy to schedule mainnet migrations or check network congestion. You get the raw data directly in your editor sidebar without opening any external dashboards.
