Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Helius (Solana) MCP Server?
Connect your Helius account to any AI agent to interact with the Solana blockchain with unprecedented speed and depth. This server leverages Helius's powerful RPC and DAS (Digital Asset Standard) API to provide real-time blockchain intelligence.
What you can do
- Asset Management — Fetch detailed metadata for NFTs, cNFTs, and fungible tokens using
get_assetorget_asset_batch. - Wallet Intelligence — Retrieve complete balances with real-time USD pricing using
get_wallet_balancesand track history withget_wallet_history. - Ownership Tracking — List every asset owned by a specific Solana address via
get_assets_by_owner. - Network Optimization — Get precise priority fee estimates with
get_priority_fee_estimateto ensure your transactions land during high congestion. - Advanced Search — Query the blockchain for specific assets based on collection, creator, or attributes using
search_assets.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Helius API Key
- Start querying Solana data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Web3 Developers — Debug smart contracts and verify on-chain state without leaving your IDE.
- Crypto Analysts — Perform deep wallet forensics and portfolio tracking through natural language.
- NFT Collectors — Manage and inspect compressed NFTs and collections with ease.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Helius (Solana) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 14 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can I see the USD value of my tokens and NFTs?
Yes! Use the get_wallet_balances tool. It fetches native SOL, SPL tokens, and NFTs along with their current market pricing in USD.
How do I handle compressed NFTs (cNFTs)?
You can use get_asset to see details or get_asset_proof to retrieve the Merkle proof required for on-chain interactions with compressed assets.
Can I search for assets by specific creators or collections?
Absolutely. Use the search_assets tool with a JSON query to filter by collection ID, creator address, or specific attributes.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
