GoldRush CLI — terminal-first blockchain data tool with MCP support for Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Use this skill whenever the user wants to query blockchain data from the command line, stream DEX pairs or wallet activity in a terminal, set up GoldRush as an MCP tool provider, or run quick one-off queries without writing code (e.g., 'check a wallet balance', 'what's the gas price', 'search for a token'). Also use this when the user mentions 'goldrush' CLI commands, 'npx @covalenthq/goldrush-cli', or MCP integration with GoldRush. The CLI is the fastest path for ad-hoc blockchain lookups from the terminal. If the user needs programmatic API access in an application, use goldrush-foundational-api or goldrush-streaming-api instead. If the user needs pay-per-request access without an API key, use goldrush-x402 instead.
Terminal-first blockchain data tool with MCP support for AI agents. Query wallets, stream DEX pairs, and pipe live on-chain data directly into Claude — all from the command line.
