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 (including flexible time frame queries)
• Get NFT ownership information and contract data
• View transaction history across multiple networks
• Check token balances across multiple blockchain networks
• Retrieve detailed asset transfers with filtering
• Send transactions via Smart Contract Accounts (requires configured wallet agent server)
• Execute token swaps via DEX protocols (requires configured wallet agent server)
• 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):

*Configuration content*

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

Environment Variables

The MCP server requires the following environment variable:

• ALCHEMY_API_KEY - Your Alchemy API key (required for all blockchain data queries)

For transaction and swap functionality, you must also configure:

• AGENT_WALLET_SERVER - URL of a configured wallet agent server that handles Smart Contract Account operations

⚠️ Important: The sendTransaction and swap methods will not function without a properly configured wallet agent server. These methods require external wallet infrastructure to handle signing and broadcasting transactions.

Available Methods

You can prompt your AI agent to use the following methods:

Token Price Methods

1. fetchTokenPriceBySymbol

   • Gets current price data for tokens by symbol
   • Example: "What's the current price of ETH and BTC?"

2. fetchTokenPriceByAddress

   • Gets current price data for tokens by contract address
   • Example: "What's the price of the token at address 0x1234...5678 on Ethereum mainnet?"

3. fetchTokenPriceHistoryBySymbol

   • Gets historical price data for tokens with specific date ranges
   • Example: "Show me BTC price history from Jan 1 to Feb 1, 2023, with daily intervals"

4. fetchTokenPriceHistoryByTimeFrame

   • Gets historical price data using flexible time frames or natural language
   • Example: "Show me ETH price for the last week" or "Get BTC price for the past 30 days"

Multichain Token Methods

5. fetchTokensOwnedByMultichainAddresses
   • Gets token balances for addresses across multiple networks
   • Example: "What tokens does 0xabc...123 hold on Ethereum and Base?"

Transaction History Methods

6. fetchAddressTransactionHistory

   • Gets transaction history for addresses across multiple networks
   • Example: "Show recent transactions for wallet 0xdef...456 on Ethereum"

7. fetchTransfers

   • Gets detailed asset transfer data with advanced filtering options
   • Example: "Show me all ERC-20 transfers to or from 0xghi...789"

NFT Methods

8. fetchNftsOwnedByMultichainAddresses

   • Gets all NFTs owned by addresses with spam filtering
   • Example: "What NFTs does 0xjkl...012 own?"

9. fetchNftContractDataByMultichainAddress

   • Gets NFT contract data for addresses
   • Example: "What NFT collections does 0xmno...345 have tokens from?"

Transaction Methods

10. sendTransaction
    • Sends transactions via Smart Contract Accounts
    • ⚠️ Important: Requires a configured wallet agent server with AGENT_WALLET_SERVER environment variable
    • Example: "Send 0.1 ETH to 0xpqr...678"

Swap Methods

11. swap
    • Executes token swaps via DEX protocols (Uniswap)
    • ⚠️ Important: Requires a configured wallet agent server with AGENT_WALLET_SERVER environment variable
    • Example: "Swap 100 USDC for ETH"
