Connect DefiLlama (DeFi Analytics) MCP to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect DefiLlama (DeFi Analytics) to VS Code Copilot and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Team-Wide DeFi Data Access in VS Code Copilot
The `get_protocols` tool allows VS Code Copilot to query live TVL metrics across hundreds of protocols. By committing the configuration to your repository, your whole team can access this data to build financial models or user dashboards. You ensure everyone works with the exact same on-chain source of truth. To analyze specific protocol performance, Copilot runs `get_protocol` to retrieve historical TVL data. This helps your team build accurate forecasting models directly in the editor.
Multi-Chain Bridge and DEX Tracking
Your agent uses `get_dex_volume_chain` and `get_bridge_volume_chain` to check transaction flows across multiple blockchains. VS Code Copilot pulls this data to help you build or debug cross-chain applications. You avoid the need to write custom scrapers or query multiple block explorers. When you need global metrics, the server calls `get_dex_volumes_global` and `get_all_bridges`. You get a complete picture of market activity without leaving your active workspace.
Real-Time Pricing Engine for VS Code Copilot MCP Server
This MCP Server exposes `get_current_prices` to fetch live token valuations directly inside VS Code Copilot. Your team can write pricing scripts, verify oracle inputs, or build portfolio trackers using live data. You eliminate the friction of manually searching for contract addresses and token prices. To track price changes, the agent runs `get_percentage_change` and `get_price_chart`. This gives your developers instant access to market trends directly from the chat interface.
