Standardize blockchain access with VS Code Copilot

Commit your `mcp.json` to the repo to share node access across your entire engineering team. Everyone gets the same `rpc_call` capabilities without manual setup. Consistency is key for team builds. Everyone uses the same endpoints and tracks their consumption against the same shared project budget.

Check RU balances in VS Code Copilot

Get the status of your team's Request Units using `get_ru_balance`. This ensures your CI/CD pipelines or local dev environments don't get throttled. Visibility into your team's infrastructure is built right into the editor. You can check if a package is expiring with `get_package_expiration` before it causes a production outage.

Monitor team consumption via VS Code Copilot

Use `get_ru_consumed` to see how your team's usage is distributed. It's a simple way to audit which features are hitting the RPC network the hardest. You can make informed decisions about your infrastructure spend. Keep the team aware of their footprint without needing a separate dashboard.

Setup guide

Set up BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) 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 BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) 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 BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent BlockPi (Distributed RPC Network) transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json
