Kilo Code + GoldRush
by Kilo CodeIDE
Extension
Terminal
Cloud
Quick Start
1
Install Kilo CodeYou can also install the JetBrains plugin or the optional CLI if that matches your workflow.
code --install-extension kilocode.kilo-code
2
Install GoldRush CLIUse the CLI to verify balances, transactions, and token data before automating them in Kilo.
npm install -g @covalenthq/goldrush-cli
3
Add GoldRush MCP Server to the projectCreate
.kilocode/mcp.json in the repository root so the whole team shares the same server config.{
"mcpServers": {
"goldrush": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@covalenthq/goldrush-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"GOLDRUSH_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}4
Add Kilo project rulesPut GoldRush-specific guidance in
.kilocode/rules/ so Kilo keeps using the right chains, pagination, and API key handling patterns.5
Start in the right modeUse Architect or Ask to scope the change, then switch to Code or Debug and ask: "Use GoldRush to add multi-chain wallet balances to this project"
Example Prompts
“Use GoldRush to add a typed balance service to this TypeScript app”
“Switch to Debug mode and find why this transaction query fails on Base”
“Create an Architect-mode plan for migrating our RPC data layer to GoldRush”
“Build a wallet holdings page with balances, transfers, and NFT sections”
“Generate a project rule that standardizes GoldRush API usage in this repo”
“Create a CLI task that exports token holders for a contract to CSV”
“Use the GoldRush MCP tools to validate the shape of this API response”
“Refactor this feature to use GoldRush instead of three separate chain providers”
Available MCP Tools (27)

Common Workflows
Architect Then Implement
1Open Kilo in Architect mode and define the GoldRush integration plan
2Capture file-by-file changes and edge cases before writing code
3Switch to Code mode to implement the approved plan
4Use GoldRush tool calls to validate real response payloads while coding
Debug a Failing Web3 Feature
1Switch Kilo into Debug mode and point it at the broken blockchain flow
2Let it inspect the code and run targeted commands
3Use GoldRush tools to compare expected chain data against the app output
4Apply the fix and rerun the smallest useful verification steps
Ship a Wallet Dashboard
1Add the GoldRush MCP config at the project level
2Ask Kilo to build the client utility, route handler, and UI cards
3Use real GoldRush data to tune loading, formatting, and empty states
4Save the final guidance as a project rule for future blockchain work
Standardize Team Setup
1Commit
.kilocode/mcp.json with the GoldRush server config2Add project rules covering API key usage, supported chains, and pagination
3Ask Kilo to validate the setup from a clean repo checkout
4Share the repo so teammates get the same MCP behavior automatically
Tips for Success
Prefer project-level
.kilocode/mcp.json for shared GoldRush setup and global config for personal experimentsUse Architect mode before large blockchain changes so Kilo does not jump into editing too early
Store repo-specific GoldRush conventions in
.kilocode/rules/ to keep generations consistentAllow only the tools you actually need. Narrow approvals reduce noise and accidental drift
Kilo Code FAQ
Yes. Kilo Code detects project-level MCP config in
.kilocode/mcp.json and applies it to the current workspace. That makes it a good place to keep shared GoldRush configuration.Troubleshooting
Kilo is not picking up the GoldRush MCP serverConfirm the file is named
.kilocode/mcp.json at the repo root and that the JSON is valid. If the server still does not appear, restart the extension so it reloads workspace-level MCP config.Kilo cannot start
npx from the editorMake sure Node.js and npx are on the PATH used by VS Code or JetBrains. Launch the editor from a shell with the correct environment if necessary.Tool approvals are slowing down repetitive GoldRush tasksKeep the config project-scoped and use Kilo's allowed tool settings for safe, repeatable read-only GoldRush tools. Avoid blanket approval for write-heavy workflows.
