About Etherscan MCP Server

Connect your Etherscan API key to any AI agent and gain instant access to on-chain data across Ethereum and other EVM-compatible networks through natural conversation.

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Etherscan data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 19 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

Native Balances — Retrieve the native token balance (ETH, MATIC, etc.) for single or multiple addresses (up to 20) using get_balance and get_balance_multi.
Transaction History — Fetch comprehensive lists of normal and internal transactions for any wallet address with get_tx_list and get_tx_list_internal.
Token Tracking — Monitor transfers for ERC-20, ERC-721 (NFTs), and ERC-1155 tokens using specialized tools like get_token_tx and get_token_nft_tx.
Multi-Chain Support — Query data across different networks by specifying the chainid (e.g., 1 for Ethereum, 137 for Polygon).
Granular Filtering — Filter transaction results by block range, pagination, and sort order to find exactly what you need.

Etherscan + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Etherscan MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
