Let VS Code Copilot check deployed contract code

The `get_contract_source_code` tool retrieves verified Solidity code directly from Moonscan into your active VS Code session. Your team's Copilot agent reads the deployed code to find bugs or explain complex protocol mechanics. This eliminates manual searching through browser tabs during code reviews. To check if code matches the deployed bytecode, Copilot runs `get_contract_abi` to inspect the interface. Expect a revert here if you are using the wrong address on-chain.

Inspect live transaction logs with this MCP Server

The `get_logs` tool lets VS Code Copilot query and filter event logs on the Moonbeam network. Your agent parses these logs to help you debug event emitters or indexer issues without leaving your editor. This MCP integration runs natively inside your workspace. When you need to check transaction finality, Copilot calls `proxy_eth_get_transaction_receipt` to fetch the complete transaction receipt. Seeing gas used, logs generated, and execution status takes just a single prompt.

Monitor multi-address GLMR balances in team chats

The `get_glmr_balance_multi` tool lets VS Code Copilot check the balances of up to twenty Moonbeam addresses in a single query. This is perfect for teams monitoring deployer wallets or multisig treasuries during collaborative coding sessions. You can also check token distributions with `get_erc20_total_supply` to track circulating assets. Copilot formats the response into clean tables, keeping your team aligned on treasury metrics.
