alchemy-mcp

alchemy-mcp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alchemyplatform/alchemy-claude-plugin. It costs 147 tokens per session (2,655 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of alchemy-mcp, MIT.

A connection to Alchemy, a service that provides live data and tools for blockchain networks, through an MCP-compatible AI client. It is intended for live agent work when the Alchemy command-line tool is not installed locally.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query token prices, NFT and portfolio data, transactions, simulations, traces, and account settings across supported blockchain networks.
Why use it?
It gives the agent access to current blockchain information and Alchemy administration without requiring local command-line setup.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

alchemy-mcp scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- **Don't bypass the MCP server** with raw curl/HTTP from inside the agent — that's the API-key path covered by `alchemy-api`. MCP tools are the canonical interface for this skill.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 225 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Alchemy MCP

Use the hosted Alchemy MCP server for live blockchain data, transaction simulation, tracing, NFT/portfolio queries, and Alchemy app administration from inside your AI client.

When to use this skill

Use alchemy-mcp when all of the following are true:

  • The user wants live agent work — live querying, analysis, admin work, or on-machine automation that the agent runs now in this session
  • An MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, etc.) is already wired against https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp, OR the user is willing to add it
  • The Alchemy CLI (@alchemy/cli) is not installed locally

If the CLI is installed locally — or if both CLI and MCP are available — prefer the alchemy-cli skill instead. The CLI is the preferred local fallback runtime path.

When to use a different skill

Situation Use this skill instead
@alchemy/cli is installed locally, or both CLI and MCP are available alchemy-cli
Neither CLI nor MCP is available install alchemy-cli (npm i -g @alchemy/cli), then use alchemy-cli
Building application code that runs outside this agent session, with an Alchemy API key alchemy-api
Building application code without an API key, or as an autonomous agent that needs to pay for itself, or you explicitly want x402/MPP agentic-gateway

Do not use this skill to write production application code — MCP tools are for live agent work, not for embedding into shipped software.

Connect your client

The server runs at https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp and authenticates via OAuth — your client opens a browser to sign in with your Alchemy account on first use. No API key or local install required.

Claude Code

claude mcp add alchemy --transport http https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp

Restart Claude Code, then run /mcp and select alchemy to authenticate.

Codex

codex mcp add alchemy --url https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
