GoldRush CLI is a terminal-first tool for blockchain data. 17 commands, 100+ chains, real-time streaming, and native MCP support for AI agents. One install, and you’ve got live onchain data in your terminal or piped directly into Claude.

Two Modes, Same Data

GoldRush CLI serves both humans and AI agents from a single tool:
  • Humans get a rich terminal experience with live charts, interactive tables, and formatted output.
  • Agents get MCP tools with structured, streaming data via the Model Context Protocol.

What It Does

Seventeen commands across portfolio management, market discovery, trading intelligence, and agent integration. Portfolio & Wallets: Check token balances across 100+ chains, view transfer history, and stream real-time wallet activity. Commands: balances, transfers, watch Market Discovery: Stream new DEX liquidity pairs as they launch and view live OHLCV candlestick charts in ASCII. Commands: new_pairs, ohlcv_pairs Trading Intelligence: Find top traders for any token, check real-time gas prices, and search tokens by name or address. Commands: traders, gas, search Agent Integration: Register GoldRush as an MCP tool provider for Claude in one command. Agents call GoldRush commands natively. Commands: install, auth, config, status

MCP: Built for Agents

GoldRush CLI is an MCP server. When you run goldrush install, it registers GoldRush as a tool provider for Claude. The agent can then call GoldRush commands the same way it calls any other tool - no wrappers, no glue code. Three core loops define how agents use blockchain data:
  1. Continuous Market Monitoring - An agent subscribes to new_pairs and receives every new liquidity pair in real time. It evaluates, filters, scores, and decides whether to act.
  2. Wallet Surveillance - An agent watches specific wallets using watch. Whale wallets, smart money, protocol treasuries. Every swap, transfer, and deposit surfaces in real time.
  3. Portfolio Intelligence - An agent pulls balances on a schedule, analyzes composition across chains, evaluates concentration risk, and recommends rebalancing.
These aren’t one-shot queries - they’re persistent loops. Subscribe, process, act, repeat.

Get Started

CLI Quickstart

Three commands to go from zero to streaming blockchain data in your terminal.

Prerequisites

Using GoldRush CLI requires an API key.

Vibe Coders

$10/mo - Built for solo builders and AI-native workflows.

Teams

$250/mo - Production-grade with 50 RPS and priority support.

Install and Authenticate

Run the CLI with npx - no global install needed:
npx @covalenthq/goldrush-cli auth
This prompts you for your API key and stores it securely in your OS keychain (not a config file). After the first run, you can use goldrush directly without npx.

Query Wallet Balances

Get a full token portfolio for any address across 100+ chains:
goldrush balances aave.eth eth-mainnet
This returns ERC20s, native tokens, NFTs, USD values, and 24h changes in a formatted table.

Stream New DEX Pairs

Watch new liquidity pairs launch in real time:
goldrush new_pairs solana-mainnet raydium
Filter by protocol, navigate with arrow keys, and copy addresses to clipboard. Supports 35+ protocol integrations across 9 chains.

Set Up MCP for AI Agents

Register GoldRush as a native tool provider for Claude:
goldrush install
That’s it. Claude can now call GoldRush commands directly - no wrappers or manual JSON configuration needed. This works with both Claude Desktop and Claude Code. For manual MCP configuration (Cursor, Windsurf, or custom setups), see the MCP Server docs.
