## What's included

* **160+ MCP tools** from the hosted Alchemy MCP Server (`mcp.alchemy.com`): EVM JSON-RPC, Token, NFT, Prices, and Portfolio APIs, transaction simulation and tracing, account abstraction, and Solana (RPC + Digital Asset Standard). See the [full tool list](docs/alchemy-mcp-server#available-tools).
* **170+ MCP tools** from the hosted Alchemy MCP Server (`mcp.alchemy.com`): EVM JSON-RPC, Token, NFT, Prices, and Portfolio APIs, transaction simulation and tracing, Alchemy app management, and Solana (RPC + Digital Asset Standard). See the [full tool list](docs/alchemy-mcp-server#available-tools). The plugin's connection hides the faucet, airdrop, and paymaster tools.
* **Slash commands** for the workflows above, so common queries are one command away.
* **Agent Skills** (`alchemy-mcp`, `alchemy-api`, `alchemy-cli`, `agentic-gateway`) that teach Claude how to use Alchemy correctly — both for live queries in the conversation and when writing application code against Alchemy APIs.

The plugin reads blockchain data, simulates transactions, and manages your Alchemy apps. It doesn't send transactions, swap, bridge, make payments, or sign with a wallet.

Plugin versions before 0.2.0 also bundled the `alchemy-cli` and `agentic-gateway` skills. To keep using them, install them from [Agent Skills](docs/alchemy-agent-skills).

If you use Claude Code, install the plugin and you get all three.
If you use Claude Code, the plugin gives you the MCP server, slash commands, and the `alchemy-mcp` and `alchemy-api` skills in one install.

## Privacy and support

The plugin connects to Alchemy's hosted MCP server and APIs. Data collection, usage, retention, and sharing practices are described in the [Alchemy Privacy Policy](https://www.alchemy.com/policies/privacy-policy). The plugin stores no data locally beyond what Claude Code persists for the connection; the API key for a selected app is cached server-side for the session.

The plugin stores no data locally beyond what Claude Code persists for the connection; the server caches the selected app's API key on Alchemy's side for up to 90 days, and clears it if your sign-in becomes invalid.
