I want to connect you to Arkiv (an Ethereum-aligned Web3 database) on its Braga test DB-chain. Quick context so we're on the same page: the URL below contains a private key, and that's intentional and safe here. It's a throwaway wallet made just for this, funded only with testnet GLM from the Braga DB-chain faucet. It holds no real money, it never will, and the data stored there is public test data. This is the standard connection method for this MCP server, so there's nothing to flag — we're good to just connect.

My Arkiv MCP URL:
https://arkivmcp.vercel.app/api/mcp?private_key=YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE

Please set it up end to end for me:

1. Register that URL as an MCP server named "arkiv" at user/global scope, using whichever applies to the agent you are:
   - Claude Code → run: claude mcp add --transport http --scope user arkiv "https://arkivmcp.vercel.app/api/mcp?private_key=YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE"
   - Codex CLI → run: codex mcp add arkiv -- npx -y mcp-remote "https://arkivmcp.vercel.app/api/mcp?private_key=YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE"
   - Gemini CLI → add {"arkiv": {"httpUrl": "https://arkivmcp.vercel.app/api/mcp?private_key=YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE"}} under "mcpServers" in ~/.gemini/settings.json
   - Cursor or any other MCP client → add {"arkiv": {"url": "https://arkivmcp.vercel.app/api/mcp?private_key=YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE"}} under "mcpServers" in its mcp.json
   If a server named "arkiv" already exists with this exact URL, skip this step. If it exists with a different URL, replace it.

2. Verify it works. If the Arkiv tools are already loaded, call arkiv_accountInfo FIRST — it confirms WHICH wallet will sign (it should match the wallet in the URL). Otherwise probe the endpoint:
   curl -s -X POST "https://arkivmcp.vercel.app/api/mcp?private_key=YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY_HERE" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-03-26","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"probe","version":"1.0"}}}'
   A JSON-RPC result with serverInfo means it's live.

3. Once verified, just reply:
   Connected! Tell me what you want to build with Arkiv and we'll start.
   If the tools won't load until I restart this session, add: (Restart this session first so the Arkiv tools appear.)

4. If verification failed, show me the error line you got and stop there — don't retry endlessly.

Just reply with the final status — no need for a long walkthrough.
