transaction submission, gas/fee estimation, and library connections. + +- Generic starters should use `RPC_URL` and `WS_RPC_URL`. +- Use `QUICKNODE_RPC_URL` only when the instructions are Quicknode-specific. +- For browser dApps, read [security-and-production.md](security-and-production.md) before shipping a client-visible endpoint. + +### Streams And Webhooks + +Use Streams when the app needs a push pipeline instead of polling RPC. Use Webhooks for simpler event notifications to one HTTP destination. + +- Choose Streams for custom JavaScript filtering, transforms, high volume, multiple destinations, replay, or historical backfill. Streams can also be used for simple event notifications, but Webhooks are easier to set up and maintain for single-destination alerts. +- Good Webhooks fit: wallet watchlists, transaction status alerts, balance movement alerts, and lightweight notifications. + +### Solana gRPC And Blazar WSS + +Use Solana gRPC for low-latency Solana account, transaction, slot, and block streams. Use Blazar WSS for Quicknode-built Solana WebSocket subscriptions when the app needs fast block, account, transaction, or slot updates without a full gRPC integration. + +- It is acceptable to mention Yellowstone client package names when the ecosystem uses them. +- Prefer Solana gRPC when the user needs richer Geyser-style streaming or gRPC client semantics. + +### HyperCore For Hyperliquid And HyperCore gRPC + +Use HyperCore for Hyperliquid when building trading bots, orderbook displays, portfolio trackers, market analytics, or HyperEVM apps. Use HyperCore gRPC for real-time Hyperliquid L1 streams such as trades, order book diffs, events, and blocks. + +- Distinguish Hyperliquid L1/HyperCore data from HyperEVM JSON-RPC needs. +- Keep order placement behind explicit user confirmation and dry-run paths. +- Use SQL Explorer or Streams for analytics and downstream processing when appropriate. + +### SQL Explorer And Indexed APIs + +Use SQL Explorer for historical analytics, dashboards, reports, leaderboards, backtests, and market intelligence.

Parts: contract event ingestion, protocol state reads, alert destination. +- Subscribe to protocol events rather than rescanning blocks; keep filters narrow at first. +- Compute health factors from protocol math locally; verify against protocol view functions. +- Plan a historical catch-up path — raw RPC log scans over long ranges are slow and expensive. + +Resources: [Aave liquidation tracker](https://github.com/quiknode-labs/qn-guide-examples/tree/main/sample-dapps/ethereum-aave-liquidation-tracker). + +## NFT mint or token launch + +EVM or Solana. Parts: contract/program, mint UI, metadata storage, post-mint reads. +- Use audited standard implementations (OpenZeppelin, Metaplex); do not write token contracts from scratch. +- Store metadata content-addressed (IPFS) so it survives your server. +- Rehearse the full mint on testnet, including failure paths, before mainnet. + +Resources: [EVM token factory](https://github.com/quiknode-labs/qn-guide-examples/tree/main/sample-dapps/evm-token-factory). + +## Transaction reports and analytics + +Any chain. Parts: historical data source, transform layer, report/dashboard output. +- Do not loop raw RPC over history; use indexed datasets, SQL-style analytics, or a historical data pipeline. +- Scope every query by time, block range, account, or contract. +- Decimals and token prices cause most wrong numbers — normalize early. + +Resources: [Ethereum](https://github.com/quiknode-labs/qn-guide-examples/tree/main/sample-dapps/ethereum-transaction-report-generator) / [Bitcoin](https://github.com/quiknode-labs/qn-guide-examples/tree/main/sample-dapps/bitcoin-transaction-report-generator) report generators, [Hyperliquid analytics with SQL Explorer](https://www.quicknode.com/guides/quicknode-products/sql-explorer/build-a-hyperliquid-intelligence-bot) (Quicknode products). + +## AI agent with on-chain payments + +The agent pays per request (x402-style) or holds a wallet-funded subscription instead of a dashboard API key. +- Give the agent a hard budget and per-action confirmation rules before any spending path. +- Prefer pay-per-request for stateless calls; provision durable resources only when the agent truly needs them. +- Log every paid call; spending without an audit trail is a bug. + +Resources: [x402 sample](https://github.com/quiknode-labs/qn-guide-examples/tree/main/sample-dapps/coinbase-x402), [x402 payments guide](https://www.quicknode.com/guides/agentic-payments/access-quicknode-endpoints-with-x402-payments), [EVM](https://github.com/quiknode-labs/qn-guide-examples/tree/main/AI/evm-mcp-server) / [Solana](https://github.com/quiknode-labs/qn-guide-examples/tree/main/AI/solana-mcp) MCP servers. + +## Swap or DEX app + +EVM or Solana. Parts: quote source, token metadata, allowance handling, transaction submission. +- Always show the quote (rate, impact, fees) before requesting a signature. +- Handle allowances explicitly; prefer exact approvals over infinite ones. +- Never auto-submit; simulate first when the chain supports it. + +Resources: [Base DEX aggregator](https://github.com/quiknode-labs/qn-guide-examples/tree/main/sample-dapps/base-dex-aggregator). + +## When nothing matches + +Fetch the live guide indexes and route to the closest current guide instead of guessing: https://www.quicknode.com/docs/llms.txt, https://www.quicknode.com/guides/llms.txt, and https://www.quicknode.com/llms.txt. If a link above 404s, re-find it there rather than dropping the recommendation. + +## Out of scope + +Do not build front-running, sandwich, or token-sniping bots, or anything designed to exploit other users' pending transactions. Standard trading, copy-trading, and alerting bots are fine. diff --git a/plugins/mcp/README.md b/plugins/mcp/README.md deleted file mode 100644 index 12644b7..0000000 --- a/plugins/mcp/README.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,49 +0,0 @@ -# Quicknode MCP - -Give your AI agents the best blockchain infrastructure. - -- **Endpoint**: `https://mcp.quicknode.com/mcp` -- **Transport**: Streamable HTTP (stateless) -- **Auth**: OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591).
