How to Use the IoTeX (IoTeX Block Explorer API) MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I share the IoTeX (IoTeX Block Explorer API) configuration with my team in VS Code Copilot?

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project root and commit it to Git. Any team member with VS Code Copilot and the MCP extension will automatically load the server.

Q: Can VS Code Copilot monitor live token holders using the IoTeX (IoTeX Block Explorer API)?

Yes. Your agent can run gettokenholders to pull the current list of addresses holding a specific token. It can then format this data into markdown tables directly in your chat sidebar.

Q: Which tools are best for verifying recent contract actions?

Use getrecentactions and getaction to track active contract calls. These tools let your agent pull real-time execution logs and transaction metadata directly into your editor.

Audit IoTeX blocks and account transactions instantly inside your VS Code Copilot environment.

Commit the IoTeX Block Explorer API MCP Server to your repo

Keep your entire engineering team aligned with identical blockchain context. By defining your MCP server in your repository configuration, every developer gets instant access. Your team's agent can run `get_account` and `get_token` to inspect contract deployments directly from the chat panel. No more mismatched environment variables or stale local mocks.

Verify block states in pull request reviews

Review smart contract integration code with live block data. Your agent can pull the exact block state to verify gas usage and transaction placement. Using `get_block_by_height` or `get_block_by_hash`, the agent pulls block payloads directly into VS Code. This makes it easy to verify that your code handles block headers correctly during reviews.

Trace transactions during on-call incidents

Speed up incident response when debugging production IoT telemetry issues. Your on-call engineers can trace transaction flows without leaving their workspace. The agent runs `get_action` to dissect failed transactions or `get_account_actions` to audit recent wallet behavior. You get instant clarity on whether the issue is on-chain or in your backend.
