How to Use the Glassnode (On-chain Data) MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do we share Glassnode (On-chain Data) configurations across our team in VS Code Copilot?

Add the server to your project's .vscode/mcp.json file and commit it to your repository. Every team member using VS Code Copilot gains instant access to the MCP Server tools.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot run automated tests using Glassnode (On-chain Data)?

Yes. Your agent uses getpitmetric to pull point-in-time historical data. VS Code Copilot then writes and runs test assertions based on those exact historical states.

Q: How do we check metric parameters using Glassnode (On-chain Data) in VS Code Copilot?

Ask Copilot to run getmetricdetails inside the chat panel. It retrieves the exact allowed parameters and descriptions directly from the API.

Q: Does this integration support multi-asset data queries?

Yes. The getbulkmetric tool pulls data for multiple assets in a single call. Copilot processes this bulk information to help you build complex market dashboards.

Equip your engineering team with live Glassnode on-chain metrics directly inside VS Code Copilot for data-backed development.

Validate Data Pipelines in VS Code Copilot

The `get_metric` tool pulls live time-series data into your active editor, allowing VS Code Copilot to validate your data processing pipelines against real on-chain events. Developers inspect actual transaction volumes and active address counts without leaving the IDE. This direct access helps your team catch parsing errors before deploying code to production. Your agent compares the pipeline's output with raw Glassnode responses to ensure perfect data alignment.

Share On-Chain Tools Across Teams with this MCP Server

This MCP Server uses `list_metrics` to let your entire engineering team explore available data paths through a shared workspace configuration. Committing `.vscode/mcp.json` to your repository ensures every developer has instant access to the same tools. The `list_assets` tool provides a unified reference for supported tokens across your team's microservices. VS Code Copilot uses this shared context to write consistent database migrations and API routes.

Build Accurate Backtests with Point-in-Time Data

Use `get_pit_metric` to feed historical data snapshots directly into your team's test suites. VS Code Copilot writes precise unit tests using data from specific historical blocks, eliminating look-ahead bias from your CI/CD pipelines. The `get_bulk_metric` tool extracts bulk historical records for multi-asset testing. Your agent builds optimized data loaders in VS Code to handle these large payloads efficiently.

Setup guide

Set up Glassnode (On-chain Data) 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 Glassnode (On-chain Data) 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.
