What is the Alchemy MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire web3 research and blockchain auditing workflow with Alchemy, the comprehensive platform for decentralized data. By connecting Alchemy to your agent, you transform complex RPC querying into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve wallet balances, audit NFT ownership, and query transaction receipts without you ever touching a block explorer. Whether you are conducting investment research or monitoring digital assets, your agent acts as a real-time blockchain analyst, ensuring your data is always precise and up-to-the-minute.
What you can do
- Wallet Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution balances for any Ethereum or compatible address, including native and ERC-20 tokens.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Alchemy API Key?
Log in to your Alchemy dashboard, create an app for your desired network, and you will find your API Key in the 'API Key' section. Copy and paste it below.
Which networks are supported?
Alchemy supports Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and more. Ensure you provide the correct network slug (e.g., 'eth-mainnet') in the configuration.
Can the agent show NFT metadata?
Yes. The get_owned_nfts tool retrieves the list of NFTs owned by an address, including titles and token IDs from the metadata.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
