Perplexity

Inject live on-chain data into your team's workspace

The `get_token_info` and `get_multiple_tokens` tools allow VS Code Copilot to query token metadata and contract details on demand. When your team is building dApps, Copilot can verify token symbols, decimals, and coingecko IDs without leaving the editor. This eliminates manual address lookups on block explorers. Developers can reference live contract information directly within their code comments or implementation drafts.

Analyze DEX pools and volume trends inside VS Code Copilot

This MCP Server uses `list_top_pools_network` and `list_top_pools_dex` to pull the highest-performing pools on any blockchain. Your team can use Copilot to analyze market activity and determine which pools to integrate into your interface. You can also query `get_trending_pools_all` to see where market attention is shifting in real time. This helps your team make data-backed decisions on which networks to prioritize for development.

Fetch raw transaction history for debugging

The `list_trades` tool retrieves the most recent transactions for a specific liquidity pool directly into your VS Code terminal or chat. This is useful for debugging trade routing logic or verifying that your smart contract integration handles recent swap sizes. By pairing this with `get_ohlcv`, your team can inspect historical price boundaries. This allows Copilot to generate realistic mock data profiles based on actual historical volatility.
