Requires Node 18+ on your system so npx can fetch the package on first run. VS Code (Copilot) uses a `servers` root key with an explicit `type` field — different from the `mcpServers` shape used by Claude Desktop and Cursor. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register @fastmcp-me/pinata-mcp.
