Alchemy MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents to interact with Alchemy's blockchain APIs in a structured way. This allows agents to query blockchain data directly without writing any code.

General Usage

This MCP server creates a bridge between AI agents and Alchemy's blockchain APIs, allowing agents to:

Query token prices and price history
Get NFT ownership information
View transaction history
Check token balances across multiple blockchain networks
Retrieve asset transfers
And more!

Quick Setup

To quickly set up the MCP server, use the following configuration in your MCP config file (typically in Claude Desktop or Cursor settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alchemy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@alchemy/mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ALCHEMY_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

This configuration allows you to use the server without manually cloning the repository.
