Scopes, env vars, OAuth and limits: VS Code (GitHub Copilot) MCP config guide

VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server. Alchemy is hosted by Alchemy, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

Ask VS Code (GitHub Copilot) for something Alchemy can do. Blockchain data across 100+ chains: JSON-RPC calls, token and NFT data, prices, transfers, simulation, traces, smart wallets and Solana. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

• · mcp.json uses a top-level servers key, not mcpServers.
• · code --add-mcp installs a server into your user profile from the terminal.

How do I add the Alchemy MCP server to VS Code (GitHub Copilot)?

Run: code --add-mcp '{"name":"alchemy","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp"}'. VS Code opens the sign-in flow when Copilot first calls a remote OAuth server.

Is this the official Alchemy MCP server?

Yes. It is published by Alchemy as com.alchemy/mcp in the official MCP registry.

Does the Alchemy MCP server need an API key?

It is a hosted server. Most hosted servers sign you in with OAuth the first time VS Code (GitHub Copilot) uses them; check Alchemy's docs for any plan or permission requirements.
