Team-Wide Ledger Access via VS Code Copilot

This Moonriver (Moonriver Block Explorer API) MCP Server integrates blockchain data access directly into your shared editor environment using `get_account_info` and `get_metadata`. Your team uses these tools to verify network states inside the chat panel. Committing the configuration to your repository ensures everyone uses the same tools. Developers get immediate access to live chain data without configuring individual API endpoints.

Audit Transactions in Copilot Chat

Auditing transactions is simpler when you use `get_extrinsic` and `list_extrinsics` in your chat window. Copilot analyzes the returned JSON payloads to explain complex Substrate or EVM events. If you need to trace older transactions, `list_blocks` and `get_block` pull the necessary historical context. This lets you document network behavior directly in your team's pull requests.

Track ERC-20 Movements Directly

Monitoring token metrics uses `list_evm_tokens` and `list_transfers` to fetch asset distributions. Your agent maps transfer patterns to verify contract deployments or audit token balances using the MCP interface. This eliminates the need to maintain custom indexers for simple read operations. You query the live ledger directly, reducing your infrastructure overhead to zero.
