Deploy the Celo MCP Server

This MCP Server brings decentralized network data directly into the editor your whole team already uses. You commit one configuration file, and suddenly every developer has access to live Celo metrics. When a teammate asks Copilot about a specific wallet, it runs `get_account_balance` or `get_account_balance_multi`. They get immediate, accurate token amounts without needing to distribute API keys or write custom fetch scripts.

Monitor block mechanics

Building infrastructure on Celo requires deep visibility into block generation and validator rewards. Copilot pulls this low-level network data straight into your chat panel. Your AI agent uses `get_mined_blocks` to see exactly which addresses are producing blocks. It checks `get_block_reward` to calculate validator payouts, and runs `get_block_countdown` to estimate exactly when a future block will hit the chain.

Diagnose on-chain failures

Troubleshooting a failed smart contract interaction usually wastes hours of engineering time. Copilot cuts this down by pulling the exact execution trace directly into VS Code. The AI fires off `get_transaction_receipt_status` to see if the transaction actually landed on-chain. If things look wrong, it digs deeper with `get_internal_transactions` to expose every hidden contract-to-contract call that occurred during execution.

Setup guide

Set up Celoscan (Celo Network Explorer) 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 Celoscan (Celo Network Explorer) 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 Celoscan (Celo Network Explorer) tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Celoscan (Celo Network Explorer) transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

Yes, the server includes specific endpoints for token metrics. Ask Copilot to check a contract address, and it will return the exact total supply circulating on the network.

It works perfectly across all Copilot tiers, provided you are running the required VS Code version. The setup is designed for organization-wide rollouts with strict security requirements.

Copilot will inform you that the ABI and source code are unavailable. You can still check its token balances and transaction history.

We route all requests through ephemeral V8 isolates that spin up and die in milliseconds. The server only sees the transaction hashes or wallet addresses you explicitly paste into the chat. Your internal workspace files remain completely private.
