  "summary": "Alchemy is automatable today through its HTTP APIs and the official Alchemy CLI. This record is the Alchemy blockchain developer platform, including the hosted MCP server at https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp. It is not Stripe, Plaid, or the fernforge/alchemy writing-rules server. Node calls are JSON-RPC POST requests, and the NFT example is a REST GET. Both accept an API key or an access key in an Authorization Bearer header. Webhook management uses a separate Auth Token in the X-Alchemy-Token header, and outbound webhook bodies can be checked with an HMAC-SHA256 signing key. The Alchemy CLI installs as @alchemy/cli, signs in with a browser or device code, and supports --json and --no-interactive. Alchemy documents a hosted MCP server with 168 tools and OAuth sign-in against an Alchemy account. The legacy local package @alchemy/mcp-server is retired in the vendor repository. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. API, MCP, and CLI each score 8. API is the best path because a bearer API key does not require the MCP OAuth prompt or the CLI device-login step.\n"
