Perplexity

Shared team-wide debugging via MCP Server

This tool suite provides shared access to mainnet data for entire engineering teams working in VS Code. Your team can run `eth_call` to test contract functions and check account balances with `eth_getBalance` inside their shared chat. This keeps your team aligned on the exact state of the protocol. No more sharing raw JSON payloads over Slack or arguing about which contract version is deployed where.

Track transaction confirmations in Copilot Chat

This tool suite monitors continuous integration deployments and manual staging transactions from your editor. The MCP Server lets your agent track block confirmations using `eth_blockNumber` and pull receipt details via `eth_getTransactionReceipt`. It helps your team verify that transactions are successfully mined and check gas usage metrics. You get immediate feedback on deployment success right in your workspace.

Live gas fee optimization for smart contracts

This tool suite optimizes your smart contract code for gas efficiency while you write it. Your agent can run `get_suggested_gas_fees` to see current network demand and test execution costs with `eth_estimateGas`. By analyzing `eth_feeHistory`, the agent can suggest code adjustments to reduce storage writes or optimize loop execution. This translates directly to lower transaction costs for your users.

Common questions about Infura (Ethereum Node RPC Provider) MCP in VS Code Copilot

You create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your repository root and commit it to Git. Each team member just needs to set their local Infura API key as an environment variable. Copilot will load the tools automatically for everyone on the project.

Yes, the agent can verify if a contract is deployed at a specific address. It calls `eth_getCode` to fetch the bytecode, confirming that your deployment script succeeded and the contract is active.

The server routes all requests directly to Infura's high-speed endpoints. If your team hits rate limits, you can easily upgrade your Infura plan or configure caching. The server itself runs in a lightweight, sandboxed environment.

Yes, you can pass a signed transaction hex to the agent, which then calls `eth_sendRawTransaction`. This is highly useful for executing pre-planned admin actions or emergency contract calls.

All RPC queries, wallet addresses, and transaction hashes are sent directly to your configured Infura endpoint over SSL. The server does not log or store your query history. Your node credentials remain secured within VS Code's environment variables.
