# Quickstart

> Get your first Nikiwa result through the app, the Tools API, or an MCP client.

Pick the surface that fits how you want to use Nikiwa.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="The App">
    The fastest way to see Nikiwa in action, with no setup.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open the app">
        Go to [nikiwa.com](https://nikiwa.com) and sign in, or create an account.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Ask a question">
        Paste a wallet address, token, or transaction hash and ask something like "What does this wallet hold, and how risky is it?"
      </Step>

      <Step title="Read the answer">
        Nikiwa streams a written answer alongside interactive [modules](/product/modules) and citations you can click through.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Save what matters">
        Save any detected address to your [address book](/product/address-book) with a label so you recognize it next time.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Tools API">
    Call Nikiwa's analysis tools directly from your own code.

    <Note>
      The Tools API is in preview. It needs a key with the `api:call` scope, provisioned on request. To build today, use the **MCP** tab instead. See [Authentication](/api-reference/authentication).
    </Note>

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Get a key">
        Request a key with the `api:call` scope. See [Authentication](/api-reference/authentication).
      </Step>

      <Step title="Discover the available tools">
        ```bash theme={null}
        curl https://pro-api.nikiwa.com/api/tools \
          -H "Authorization: Bearer nkw_live_YOUR_KEY"
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Call a tool">
        ```bash theme={null}
        curl -X POST https://pro-api.nikiwa.com/api/tools/get_wallet_portfolio_breakdown \
          -H "Authorization: Bearer nkw_live_YOUR_KEY" \
          -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
          -d '{"wallet_address": "0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045", "network": "ethereum"}'
        ```
      </Step>
    </Steps>

  </Tab>

  <Tab title="MCP">
    Connect an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT to Nikiwa.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Add the Nikiwa connector">
        Point your MCP client at the Nikiwa endpoint:

        ```
        https://pro-api.nikiwa.com/mcp
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Authorize">
        Your client opens a Nikiwa consent screen. Sign in and click **Allow** to grant access on your behalf. See [Connect with OAuth](/mcp/connect-oauth).
      </Step>

      <Step title="Ask your assistant">
        The assistant can now call Nikiwa tools. Try "Use Nikiwa to check the risk score of this wallet."
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    For scripts and servers, authenticate with a static [API key](/mcp/api-keys) instead of OAuth.
