Team-wide chain access in VS Code

Commit the MCP configuration to your repo using `.vscode/mcp.json`. Every developer gets access to `get_eth_block_number` and other explorer tools automatically. This keeps your team aligned on the same data sources. No one needs to configure their local setup manually.

Query block data in VS Code

Use `get_block_reward` or `get_eth_block_number` to fetch chain metrics for your PR descriptions or documentation. The agent pulls the data directly into your editor. It ensures your commits reflect the current state of the network. You spend less time manually checking the explorer.

Inspect contract status in VS Code

Verify verified source codes by using `get_contract_source_code` within your IDE. Your agent reads the code to help you identify potential issues. It bridges the gap between your local code and the deployed contract. You see the truth of the chain without leaving VS Code.

Common questions about BscScan (BNB Chain Explorer) MCP in VS Code Copilot

The server communicates over standard protocols. It fits into your existing IT workflow as long as the environment allows outgoing MCP connections.

Yes, use the user configuration menu to set it up globally. It works the same way but stays on your local machine instead of the repo.
