Standardize Blockchain Data Tools in VS Code Copilot

Commit a `.vscode/mcp.json` file to your repository so every developer gets access to the same tools. Your team can run `get_address` and `get_transaction` directly inside VS Code Copilot. This shared MCP Server setup ensures that everyone debugging transaction issues is looking at the same live blockchain state without needing external api keys.

Verify Block and Transaction States in the Terminal

When debugging payment gateway issues, ask Copilot to inspect the blockchain. The editor calls `get_block` and `get_block_count` to verify if a payment has actually settled on-chain. This replaces manual lookups on external block explorers. Your developers stay focused in the editor, pulling live confirmations directly into their workspace.

Monitor Mempool Congestion During Local Testing

If your local integration tests are failing due to transaction timeouts, ask Copilot to check the public network. It uses `get_mempool_stats` and `list_unconfirmed_transactions` to diagnose the issue. Copilot retrieves the active pending queue, helping you determine if the delay is a bug in your code or just a congested Bitcoin network.

Setup guide

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blockchaincom-data-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
