How to Use the Nodereal MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: Can VS Code Copilot use Nodereal to trace failed transactions?

Yes, by calling debugtracetransaction. The agent retrieves the step-by-step EVM execution trace and helps you identify which specific contract call caused the transaction to revert.

Equip your entire VS Code Copilot team with live Aptos and EVM querying via MCP.

Perplexity

Team-Wide Blockchain Access

`eth_get_balance` and `aptos_get_account` give your whole engineering team instant access to on-chain state. You commit the config to your repository, and every developer gets the same tools. No one has to juggle RPC URLs or write custom bash scripts to check wallet balances. Copilot uses these tools to pull live context while you code. If a junior developer needs to understand how a contract emits events, the agent uses `eth_get_logs` to pull real examples from mainnet. It explains the event structure using actual data.

VS Code Copilot MCP Server Simulation

`eth_send_raw_transaction` and `aptos_simulate_transaction` let you test payloads without leaving your IDE. Your AI client builds the transaction, estimates the gas, and simulates the execution. You catch revert errors before they hit your staging environment. When things do break, the agent pulls the exact receipt using `eth_get_transaction_receipt`. It analyzes the gas usage and event logs, then suggests the exact code changes needed to fix your transaction builder.

Advanced Portfolio Indexing

`nr_get_asset_transfers` and `nr_get_nft_inventory` replace dozens of standard RPC calls with a single query. When your team builds wallet features, Copilot uses these tools to fetch a user's entire transaction history and token balances instantly. This drastically reduces the time spent writing data aggregation logic. The agent calls `nr_get_token_balance_20`, sees the exact JSON response format, and generates the TypeScript types your frontend needs to render the portfolio.

Setup guide

Set up Nodereal 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 Nodereal 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.
4

Verify the connection

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

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nodereal-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Common questions about Nodereal MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your repository and commit it. Add the server details there. Once your team pulls the latest branch, their Copilot agents will automatically connect to the tools.

Yes, by calling debug_trace_transaction. The agent retrieves the step-by-step EVM execution trace and helps you identify which specific contract call caused the transaction to revert.

It includes a full suite of Aptos endpoints. Your agent can read deployed code via aptos_get_account_modules or check ledger info using aptos_get_ledger_info directly from your chat sidebar.

They eliminate the need for custom indexing infrastructure. Tools like nr_get_transaction_receipts_by_block_number pull all receipts for a block in one call, saving your team from writing complex polling scripts.

The integration only transmits public chain identifiers like transaction payloads, wallet addresses, and log filters. Vinkius manages the connection via an isolated V8 environment that requires just one endpoint token. Your internal repository code remains strictly local and is never exposed to the RPC provider.
