Share Messari tools in VS Code Copilot

`list_assets` allows your entire team to query the same standardized asset list inside VS Code Copilot. By defining this in your shared workspace config, every developer gets instant access to token metadata. Having this MCP Server configured globally means your team can quickly verify token symbols and contract details. It eliminates mismatched token identifiers across your staging and production environments.

Monitor market feeds inside VS Code Copilot

`get_asset_market_data` provides instant pricing context inside your team chat. If you are debugging a liquidation engine, your Copilot agent can pull live prices to verify your logic. You can also run `list_crypto_markets` to check active trading pairs across different venues. It helps your developers write accurate arbitrage and routing algorithms without leaving the IDE.

Track news and governance updates in your workspace

`get_crypto_news` fetches curated crypto headlines directly into VS Code Copilot. When a major market event occurs, your team can review the news feed to assess potential smart contract or treasury impacts. Use `list_governance_events` alongside the news feed to track DAO votes. This ensures your developers are always aligned with the governance timelines of the protocols you integrate.

Setup guide

Set up Messari 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 Messari 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.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Messari tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Messari transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
