Wire Alchemy into application code without an API key, using the x402 or MPP gateway with wallet-based auth (SIWE/SIWS) and per-request payments (USDC via x402, or USDC/credit-card via MPP). Specialized app-integration path. Use when the user is building application code AND no API key is available, or they're an autonomous agent that needs to pay for itself, or they explicitly want x402/MPP. For normal app code with an API key, use `alchemy-api`. For live agent work in this session (querying, admin, automation), use `alchemy-cli` (preferred) or `alchemy-mcp`.

Wire Alchemy into application code (server, backend, dApp, script) using a standard API key. Preferred app-integration path for normal server/backend usage. Covers EVM JSON-RPC, Token API, NFT API, Transfers API, Prices API, Portfolio API, Simulation, Webhooks, Solana RPC, Solana DAS, Solana Yellowstone gRPC, Sui gRPC, Wallets/Account Kit, and operational topics. Requires `$ALCHEMY_API_KEY`. For live agent work in this session (querying, admin, local automation), use `alchemy-cli` (preferred) or `alchemy-mcp` instead. For app code without an API key (autonomous agent paying per-request, or explicit x402/MPP), use `agentic-gateway` instead.

Use the Alchemy CLI (`@alchemy/cli`) for live blockchain data, transaction lookups, NFT/token/portfolio queries, simulation, tracing/debugging, account abstraction (bundler + gas manager), webhook management, Solana RPC/DAS, and Alchemy app administration. Preferred runtime path for live agent work (querying, admin, local automation) when the CLI is installed locally — or when both CLI and MCP are available. If neither is installed, install the CLI with `npm i -g @alchemy/cli`. Use for live agent work in this session, not for building application code that ships to production. For application code, use the `alchemy-api` skill (with API key) or `agentic-gateway` skill (without).

Use the Alchemy MCP server (`https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp`) for live blockchain data and admin work when MCP is wired into your AI client and the Alchemy CLI is NOT installed locally. Exposes 159 tools across 100+ chains for token prices, NFT metadata, transactions, simulation, tracing, account abstraction, Solana DAS, and app management. Use for live querying, analysis, admin work, or on-machine agent work — not for application code that ships to production. For application code, use the `alchemy-api` skill (with API key) or `agentic-gateway` skill (without). When the CLI is also installed locally, prefer `alchemy-cli` instead.
