MCP Server Official

Best for: Agents needing on-chain data — token balances, NFTs, transaction history, contract reads — without writing Web3 code

Not ideal for: Sending transactions (data-only); non-EVM/Solana chains

Features

💰

Token Balance Queries

Query ERC-20 and native token balances for any wallet address across all major EVM networks and Solana. Returns enriched data including token metadata, USD values, and 24h price changes — no ABI parsing or RPC calls needed.

🖼️

NFT Holdings

Retrieve complete NFT portfolios for any address: collection metadata, token IDs, trait data, floor prices, and recent sales. Claude can analyze an agent's or user's NFT holdings and make decisions based on real on-chain ownership data.

📋

Transaction History

Fetch and filter transaction history for any address with decoded event logs and method signatures. Agents can reconstruct a wallet's DeFi activity, tax history, or audit trail without parsing raw blockchain data themselves.

📡

Webhooks for On-chain Events

Set up Alchemy webhooks that notify agents when specific on-chain events occur — wallet activity, NFT transfers, contract events. Agents can act reactively to blockchain state changes without continuous polling.
