How to Use the Covalent MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we roll out Covalent to the team in VS Code Copilot?

Save the server credentials in a .vscode/mcp.json file at the root of your repository. When team members open the project in VS Code, Copilot automatically connects to the MCP setup.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot query historical wallet states using Covalent?

Yes, VS Code Copilot can invoke gethistoricalportfolio to pull daily balances and USD valuations. This lets your agent generate accurate reports on historical asset performance.

Q: Which blockchain networks can we query?

You can query over 100 networks. Copilot runs listsupportedchains to fetch the complete list of supported networks, including mainnets and testnets.

Equip your team's VS Code Copilot with live multi-chain data to build, test, and debug Web3 apps without leaving the editor.

Share the Covalent MCP Server across your VS Code team

The Covalent MCP Server integrates with VS Code Copilot to provide your entire engineering team with identical blockchain query tools. By committing the configuration, Copilot can run `get_token_balances` to verify ledger states during collaborative coding sessions. This shared setup ensures everyone on the team debugs using the same live data. Copilot reads real-time blockchain states to suggest fixes, reducing the friction of mismatched local test environments.

Analyze decentralized exchange pools inside VS Code Copilot

This toolset uses `get_dex_pools` to pull reserve amounts, token pairs, and volume metrics directly into VS Code Copilot. Your agent can read these metrics to help you write smart routing algorithms or arbitrage scripts. By combining this with `get_block_details`, Copilot checks block times and parent hashes to assess pool freshness. You get accurate, time-sensitive metrics for your DeFi calculations without leaving your workspace.

Automate transaction auditing in team repos

This MCP server uses `get_token_transfers` to fetch historical transaction logs directly into your workspace. VS Code Copilot reads these raw logs to help you write automated test suites that match actual mainnet behavior. When troubleshooting complex smart contracts, Copilot uses `get_transaction_details` to parse raw log events. It translates complex EVM execution paths into plain English explanations directly in your editor sidebar.

Setup guide

Set up Covalent 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.
