Kilo Code + GoldRush

Set up Kilo Code with GoldRush

1. 1Install Kilo Code

   You can also install the JetBrains plugin or the optional CLI if that matches your workflow.

   code --install-extension kilocode.kilo-code

2. 2Install GoldRush CLI

   Use the CLI to verify balances, transactions, and token data before automating them in Kilo.

   npm install -g @covalenthq/goldrush-cli

3. 3Add GoldRush MCP server to the project

   Create .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. 4Add Kilo project rules

   Put GoldRush-specific guidance in .kilocode/rules/ so Kilo keeps using the right chains, pagination, and API key handling patterns.

5. 5Start in the right mode

   Use 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"

Things to ask Kilo Code

Once GoldRush is connected, ask in plain words. Kilo Code picks the calls.

• “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”

Common workflows

• Architect then implement

  1. Open Kilo in Architect mode and define the GoldRush integration plan
  2. Capture file-by-file changes and edge cases before writing code
  3. Switch to Code mode to implement the approved plan
  4. Use GoldRush tool calls to validate real response payloads while coding

• Debug a failing Web3 feature

  1. Switch Kilo into Debug mode and point it at the broken blockchain flow
  2. Let it inspect the code and run targeted commands
  3. Use GoldRush tools to compare expected chain data against the app output
  4. Apply the fix and rerun the smallest useful verification steps

• Ship a wallet dashboard

  1. Add the GoldRush MCP config at the project level
  2. Ask Kilo to build the client utility, route handler, and UI cards
  3. Use real GoldRush data to tune loading, formatting, and empty states
  4. Save the final guidance as a project rule for future blockchain work

• Standardize team setup

  1. Commit .kilocode/mcp.json with the GoldRush server config
  2. Add project rules covering API key usage, supported chains, and pagination
  3. Ask Kilo to validate the setup from a clean repo checkout
  4. Share the repo so teammates get the same MCP behavior automatically
