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
The Alchemy MCP server (https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp) is connected in this session (the Alchemy plugin provides the connection)

When to use a different skill

Situation	Use this skill instead
Building application code that runs outside this agent session, with an Alchemy API key	`alchemy-api`
Building application code and you don't have an API key yet	`alchemy-api` (copy a key from the Alchemy Dashboard, https://dashboard.alchemy.com)

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