+# @pipeworx/alchemy-eth
+
+[Alchemy](https://docs.alchemy.com/) MCP — Ethereum + L2 enhanced RPC (NFT, token, txn enrichment endpoints). Free key 300M compute units/mo.
+
+Part of [Pipeworx](https://pipeworx.io) — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1558+ live data sources.
+
+## Auth
+
+- Platform: `PLATFORM_ALCHEMY_KEY`. BYO: `?_apiKey=…`.
+- Chain selector: pass `chain` to most tools (`eth-mainnet` (default) | `eth-sepolia` | `polygon-mainnet` | `arb-mainnet` | `opt-mainnet` | `base-mainnet`).
+
+## Tools (Core RPC passthrough)
+
+- `eth_call(method, params, chain?)` — generic JSON-RPC call
+
+## Tools (Token API)
+
+- `token_balances(address, contracts?, chain?)` — ERC-20 balances
+- `token_metadata(contract, chain?)` — ERC-20 metadata
+- `token_allowance(contract, owner, spender, chain?)` — allowance
+
+## Tools (NFT API)
+
+- `nfts_owned(owner, contracts?, page_key?, page_size?, chain?)` — NFTs owned by address
+- `nft_metadata(contract, tokenId, refresh_cache?, chain?)` — single NFT metadata
+- `nfts_for_collection(contract, withMetadata?, startToken?, limit?, chain?)` — NFTs in a collection
+- `nft_owners(contract, tokenId?, chain?)` — owners of a contract / token
+
+## Tools (Transfers + Webhooks)
+
+- `asset_transfers(from?, to?, contract_addresses?, category?, fromBlock?, toBlock?, order?, withMetadata?, excludeZeroValue?, maxCount?, pageKey?, chain?)` — enhanced transfer feed
+
+## Data source
+
+`https://<chain>.g.alchemy.com/v2/<key>` (RPC), `https://<chain>.g.alchemy.com/nft/v3/<key>` (NFT v3)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "alchemy-eth": {
+      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/alchemy-eth/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### What this endpoint actually serves
+
+`tools/list` at `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/alchemy-eth/mcp` returns the tools in the table
+above **plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools** — `ask_pipeworx`,
+`discover_tools`, `search_within`, `remember`/`recall` and the rest of the
+gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
+single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
+pack's own. The connection's `initialize` response states its exact scope, and
+is the authoritative answer for a given day.
+
+This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
+scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
+`ask_pipeworx`, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
+second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
+them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
+connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
+
+Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed
+directly, instead of just this one's:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "pipeworx": {
+      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1558+ data sources. The
+only difference is which pack's tools are listed **directly**; `ask_pipeworx`
+reaches all of them from either one.
+
+## Standalone (no gateway account)
+
+This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no
+gateway round-trip:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "alchemy-eth": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-alchemy-eth"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
+
+```bash
+npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-alchemy-eth
+```
+
+It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers `initialize`/`tools/list`/`tools/call`
+for **only** this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
+connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
+
+## Using with ask_pipeworx
+
+Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English —
+this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
+
+```
+ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Alchemy Eth data" })
+```
+
+The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

+ * One place to turn a failed `fetch` into an error a caller can act on.
+ *
+ * Nearly every pack was written the same way:
+ *
+ *     if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`Unsplash: ${res.status}`);
+ *
+ * which discards the response body — and the body is usually where the upstream
+ * says what was actually wrong ("**symbol** not found: GBP", "parameter `year`
+ * out of range", "unknown taxonomy id"). The caller gets a number, cannot
+ * self-correct, and retries the same broken call. A 2026-07-31 sweep found this
+ * shape in 481 of 1,400 packs, 47 of them PLATFORM-keyed.
+ *
+ * It also hides bugs one level down. Two of the first three packs audited had a
+ * second defect that only existed because of this line: unsplash's rate-limit
+ * branch sat BELOW a catch-all and was unreachable, and bea-gov parsed
+ * `BEAAPI.Error.APIErrorDescription` below a `!res.ok` throw that made the
+ * parsing dead code for every non-200.
+ *
+ * DELIBERATELY NOT A CLASSIFIER. It does not add `user_error:` /
+ * `upstream_down:` prefixes. Those decide which tier a failure lands in, and the
+ * `error` tier is what the daily problem-tools list is built from — it means
+ * "Pipeworx has a defect". A 400 is genuinely ambiguous: often a caller's bad
+ * argument, but sometimes a query WE built wrong (ted-eu comma-joined its CPV
+ * values into something TED rejected, and that bug was found only because it sat
+ * in `error`). Blanket-classifying 400s as caller mistakes would have hidden it.
+ * A pack that KNOWS which it is should keep saying so explicitly; this helper is
+ * for the 481 that say nothing at all.

+ * Was this failure OUR OWN web service? — the other half of `internal-db-class.ts`.
+ *
+ * fleet #1089 pulled failures from our own Postgres out of `upstream_down` by
+ * keying on the SQLSTATE inside PostgREST's four-key error envelope. That
+ * covered the majority and structurally could not cover the rest: the rest
+ * never reach Postgres, so they carry no SQLSTATE. What was left, measured over
+ * the 24h to 2026-09-02T15:00Z (fleet #1096):
+ *
+ *     5  pipeworx-catalog  get_pack_tools     Pipeworx catalog error: 522 — error code: 522
+ *     3  fleet             fleet_list_open …  upstream_down: Fleet task queue did not respond within 25s
+ *
+ * 521/522/523/526 are Cloudflare saying its edge could not reach an ORIGIN, and
+ * in both of those rows the origin is ours — `gateway.pipeworx.io` for the
+ * catalog pack (it self-fetches when the gateway hasn't injected a manifest),
+ * our own Supabase for fleet. There is no third party anywhere in either call.
+ * Same defect as #1089: our own outage filed under `upstream_down`, the one
+ * class that means "the source is unreachable and there is nothing for us to
+ * fix", which is why the problem-tools triage skips it.
+ *
+ * WHY NOT A WORDING RULE. The obvious fix is to match `fleet db error:` and
+ * `Pipeworx catalog error:` in classifyToolError. Each is emitted from exactly
+ * one site today, so it would work today. It would also rot the first time
+ * somebody rewords a label — silently, and in the direction of hiding our own
+ * outage, which is worse than the bug being fixed. Every prose rule in
+ * error-class.ts has needed widening as packs invented new wording (#409/#450/
+ * #584); that history is most of that file's comment budget.
+ *
+ * WHAT THIS KEYS ON INSTEAD: **the host the call actually reached.** A URL's
+ * hostname is a fact about the call, not a guess about its prose. Two
+ * consequences that a pack-level flag could not give us, and the reason the
+ * flag was rejected:
+ *
+ *   - It describes the CALL, not the pack. `govcon-intel` fans out to our own
+ *     Supabase AND to genuine third parties; `court-listener` holds our cache
+ *     in Supabase and fetches courtlistener.com. An `internallyHosted: true` on
+ *     either pack would relabel a real third-party outage as ours — inventing
+ *     work, which is the same class of error in the opposite direction.
+ *   - It covers every future internal pack for free, instead of one declared
+ *     slug at a time.
+ *
+ * WHY IT SURVIVES A REWORD. The marker below is not matched as a literal by two
+ * separate files. `markInternalOrigin()` writes it and `internalHostMetricsClass()`
+ * reads it, both from the single exported `INTERNAL_ORIGIN_MARKER` constant in
+ * this module — so changing the wording changes both sides in the same edit and
+ * cannot desynchronise them. The pack's own label (`fleet db error:`,
+ * `Pipeworx catalog error:`) is not read at all: reword it freely, the class is
+ * unaffected. That is the property `stripClassPrefix` lacked when it drifted
+ * from its own classifier three times and needed a CI gate to hold them
+ * together.
+ *
+ * WHERE THE 5xx TEST LIVES. `markInternalOrigin` is called from the places that
+ * hold the real `Response` — `httpError`/`httpErrorMessage` and the timeout
+ * branch of `fetchWithTimeout` in `shared/src/http.ts` — so "is this an
+ * availability failure" is decided from the actual status code, never re-derived
+ * by scraping a number out of a sentence. A 404 from our own registry for a slug
+ * that does not exist is a caller's bad argument and is deliberately NOT marked.
+ */
+
+/**
+ * OUR OWN web service was unreachable — not an upstream, and never `upstream_down`.
+ *
+ * ONE value, not three, unlike `internal_db_*`. That split existed because a
+ * slow query, an exhausted pool and an unknown SQLSTATE have different owners
+ * and different fixes. Here there is only one story to tell — an origin we run
+ * did not answer the edge — and one owner. A bucket with no distinct owner per
+ * value is decoration; #724 is what happens when a class holds several
+ * situations, and inventing sub-values ahead of a reason to act on them
+ * differently is the same mistake with the sign flipped.
+ *
+ * METRICS ONLY, exactly like PLATFORM_KEY_ERROR_CLASS and the internal_db
