# CLI Quickstart

> Get started with GoldRush CLI in three commands. Query wallets, stream DEX pairs, and set up MCP for AI agents.

## Prerequisites

Using GoldRush CLI requires an API key.

> [card] [Vibe Coders](https://goldrush.dev/platform/auth/register/?plan=vibe)
>
> \$10/mo - Built for solo builders and AI-native workflows.

> [card] [Teams](https://goldrush.dev/platform/auth/register/?plan=professional)
>
> \$250/mo - Production-grade with 50 RPS and priority support.

## Install and Authenticate

Run the CLI with `npx` - no global install needed:

```bash theme={null}
npx @covalenthq/goldrush-cli auth
```

This prompts you for your API key and stores it securely in your OS keychain (not a config file).

> [!NOTE]
>
> 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:

```bash theme={null}
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:

```bash theme={null}
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:

```bash theme={null}
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.

> [!NOTE]
>
> For manual MCP configuration (Cursor, Windsurf, or custom setups), see the [MCP Server docs](https://goldrush.dev/docs/goldrush-mcp-server.md).
