Installation Methods

ChainStream skills can be installed through multiple channels depending on your agent platform. The npx skills add route is the fastest — one command, works across Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and OpenClaw.
MethodWhat it doesSetup Time
npx skills add (recommended)Cross-platform installer: adds all three ChainStream skills to the target agent~20 seconds
ClawHubMarketplace install via openclaw skills install~30 seconds
CursorClone repo + .cursor-plugin/ auto-discovery~1 minute
Claude Code/plugin install chainstream~30 seconds
CodexGit clone + symlink into ~/.agents/skills/~1 minute
OpenCodeGit clone + symlink into ~/.agents/skills/~1 minute
Gemini CLIgemini extensions install~30 seconds

A single command installs all three ChainStream skills (chainstream-data, chainstream-graphql, chainstream-defi) into the target agent. Use -a <agent> to pick which agent to install into.
npx skills add chainstream-io/skills -a cursor
After install, configure the API Key so the CLI and MCP tools work:
npx @chainstream-io/cli login                               # create wallet + get nano trial (50K CU)
# or, if you already have a key:
npx @chainstream-io/cli config set --key apiKey --value <your-api-key>
npx skills add pulls the latest version of the skills on every run, so re-running it also updates. See the full OpenClaw install flow (skill verification, multi-agent targeting) in Ecosystem → OpenClaw → Skills Install.

ClawHub

ChainStream skills are published on ClawHub, the OpenClaw skill marketplace.

Cursor

Skills are automatically discovered via the .cursor-plugin/plugin.json configuration included in the skills repository.
1

Clone the skills repo

git clone https://github.com/chainstream-io/skills.git
2

Open in Cursor

Open the cloned skills/ directory in Cursor. The .cursor-plugin/plugin.json tells Cursor to load the skills automatically.
3

Configure API Key

Set your API Key for CLI and MCP access:
npx @chainstream-io/cli config set --key apiKey --value <your-api-key>
4

Start using

Ask your AI assistant:
search for meme tokens on Solana
is <token_address> safe to buy?
swap 0.1 SOL for <token_address>
Cursor will also publish ChainStream as a marketplace plugin. Once available, you can install directly from Cursor Settings > Extensions.

Claude Code

/plugin install chainstream
The .claude-plugin/plugin.json in the skills repo provides the plugin metadata for Claude Code.
Claude Code marketplace plugin is coming soon. Once published, install directly from the Claude Code plugin store.

MCP Server Configuration

Skills work best when paired with the ChainStream MCP Server. Add this to your MCP client configuration:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chainstream": {
      "url": "https://mcp.chainstream.io/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-API-KEY": "<your-api-key>" }
    }
  }
}
Get your API Key from ChainStream Dashboard or via x402 / MPP payment.

Verify Installation

After installation, test with a simple query:
# Via CLI
npx @chainstream-io/cli token search --keyword PUMP --chain sol

# Via AI assistant (if skills are loaded)
# Ask: "search for PUMP tokens on Solana"
