# Alchemy MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Alchemy MCP lets you audit blockchain data and manage web3 research tasks. Use it to check wallet balances, pull NFT ownership lists, and pull transaction receipts for any Ethereum-compatible address. It turns complex RPC queries into a natural conversation with your AI agent, allowing you to monitor digital assets and audit wallets without ever touching a block explorer. ## Overview - **Category:** loved-by-devs - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_sOMvHtQHSyOyAzEgttBQWkOqoPo1yTMe7VIXuywr/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** web3, rpc-querying, nft-data, wallet-tracking, blockchain-infrastructure, transaction-history ## Description The Alchemy MCP lets your agent handle the heavy lifting of blockchain data retrieval. Instead of digging through block explorers or writing complex scripts to query RPC nodes, you can just ask your agent to find specific information. It acts as a bridge between your AI and the blockchain, pulling real-time data on wallet balances, token holdings, and NFT metadata. By adding this to your Vinkius subscription, you can connect your preferred AI client once and gain instant access to this and thousands of other tools in the catalog. You can ask about a specific wallet's history, check if a certain NFT is still held by a specific address, or see the status of a transaction just by talking to your agent. It handles the technical side of the blockchain so you can focus on the actual analysis, whether you're looking for investment signals or doing a security audit on a smart contract. You no longer have to manually copy and paste data from multiple tabs or wait for slow web pages to load. Your agent does the searching for you, providing clear, structured answers that you can use to make faster decisions. It supports multiple networks, ensuring you have the data you need regardless of where the assets are held. This setup turns your AI into a dedicated web3 research analyst that works at the speed of your conversation. ## Tools ### get_wallet_balance Pull the current Ethereum balance for any given address in wei. It is the quickest way to see a wallet's native holdings. ### get_latest_block_number Find the number of the most recent block on the network. Use this to keep your research current. ### get_owned_nfts List every NFT currently held by a specific blockchain address. This makes it easy to audit digital asset distribution. ### check_api_status Check if the Alchemy service is currently up and running. This helps you stay connected to your data. ### get_token_balances Retrieve all ERC-20 token balances for a specific wallet. It gives you a full picture of a user's multi-token holdings. ### get_transaction_receipt Pull the full receipt for a transaction using its unique hash. This tells you exactly what happened and when. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Does wallet 0x123... have any NFTs? ``` **Response:** ``` I checked that address. It holds 3 NFTs, including a **CryptoPunk** and two **Art Blocks** pieces. Would you like the specific token IDs for those? ``` **Prompt:** ``` What's the balance of 0xabc...? ``` **Response:** ``` The wallet balance is **45.2 ETH** (shown in wei). It also holds several ERC-20 tokens. Want me to list those balances too? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Did that transaction succeed? ``` **Response:** ``` I've pulled the receipt for that hash. * **Status:** Success * **Block:** #19,250,000 * **Outcome:** Confirmed ``` ## Capabilities ### Check wallet balances Pull the current Ethereum balance for any given address in wei. ### List owned NFTs Retrieve a full list of NFTs held by a specific blockchain address. ### Pull ERC-20 token balances Get all ERC-20 token balances for a specific wallet in one view. ### Fetch transaction receipts Get the full receipt for a transaction using its unique hash. ### Get latest block numbers Find the most recent block number on the network. ### Monitor API health Check if the Alchemy service is currently up and operational. ## Use Cases ### Whale Watching An analyst asks the agent to check a whale's wallet for any new NFT acquisitions using get_owned_nfts. ### Security Audit A researcher uses get_transaction_receipt to verify the outcome of a suspicious bridge interaction. ### Portfolio Tracking A user asks their agent to summarize their total ERC-20 holdings via get_token_balances. ### Network Health A dev uses check_api_status to ensure their production tools are connected to a live node. ## Benefits - Stop manual searching: Use get_wallet_balance to see exact holdings instantly without opening a browser. - Automate NFT audits: Use get_owned_nfts to quickly map out asset distribution across multiple wallets. - Real-time transaction tracking: Use get_transaction_receipt to see exactly what happened in a smart contract interaction. - Fast token discovery: Use get_token_balances to see every ERC-20 asset in a wallet in one go. - Reliable network data: Use get_latest_block_number to keep your research current with the most recent chain state. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get real-time blockchain data in plain text without touching a single block explorer. 1.
