4. Connect your Alchemy account

Back in Cowork, ask the agent to connect to Alchemy or give it any Alchemy-related task.

For example, ask Cowork to:

"Show all NFTs owned by this wallet"
"Get recent sales for a specific NFT collection"
"Check ERC20 token balances for your address"

It will prompt you to authenticate and authorize access.

That's it. Composio's tools are now available in Cowork, and your Alchemy account is ready to use.

What is Claude Cowork?

Claude Cowork is Anthropic's agent for general knowledge work. It can use your computer, files, and connected applications to complete longer-running tasks across your work tools.

With Composio Connect, Cowork can securely access apps like Alchemy through MCP without you sharing account credentials directly with the agent.

What is the Alchemy MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Alchemy MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Alchemy account. It provides structured and secure access to your blockchain data, so your agent can perform actions like fetching NFT metadata, tracking token balances, analyzing transaction history, and managing Ethereum assets on your behalf.

Retrieve NFT contract and token metadata: Instantly access detailed information about any NFT collection or token, including name, symbol, supply, and contract deployer.
Analyze NFT sales and ownership: Let your agent fetch historical NFT sales across marketplaces and list current owners for any ERC-721 or ERC-1155 token.
Track token balances and portfolio: Effortlessly check ERC-20 token balances for any Ethereum address to monitor holdings or build portfolio analytics.
List NFTs within a collection: Pull a complete list of NFTs under a specific contract to explore, display, or analyze full collections.
Monitor transaction counts and activity: Quickly get the transaction count (nonce) for any Ethereum address to understand activity or prepare for new transactions.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

With a standalone Alchemy MCP server, the agents and LLMs can only access a fixed set of Alchemy tools tied to that server. However, with the Composio Tool Router, agents can dynamically load tools from Alchemy and many other apps based on the task at hand, all through a single MCP endpoint.

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Alchemy tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Alchemy scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.

All sensitive data such as tokens, keys, and configuration is fully encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and follows strict security practices so your Alchemy data and credentials are handled as safely as possible.

Karan skipped his own birthday party to fix our critical issue. It was 10pm and he diverted his Waymo to help us instead. This really sets the bar — it shows the commitment you need when users rely on your software.

A lot of students tell us that the moment their connected tools start talking to each other inside Opennote feels almost magical. The agent just knows them, and it's immensely helped keep new users on the platform.

Abhi Arya

Co-founder, Opennote

We chose Composio over Pipedream because it delivered depth where it mattered — niche tools and tricky edge cases other platforms simply ignored. That gave us confidence to scale without compromising.

Nirman Dave

CEO, Zams

As a solo builder, shipping fast is life or death. The only way I can outcompete incumbents is by outmanoeuvring them. Getting bogged down managing agent auth would have been a death sentence.

Ryan Yu

Founder, Extra Thursday

Before Composio, adding tool integrations was slow and resource-intensive. Each one could take weeks of engineering time, and maintaining them meant constantly keeping up with API changes.

With hands-on help from their founder, we integrated Gmail and Google Drive in just 30 minutes. This level of personal support and commitment is exactly what startups should strive for.
