What this MCP covers

Three Polymarket APIs, all public (no credentials):

• Gamma API — events, markets, tags, search, sports (discovery)
• CLOB API — orderbooks, prices, midpoints, spreads, price history (pricing)
• Data API — open interest, top holders, leaderboard, volume (analytics)

Security

• Read-only v1 — no trading, no wallet keys, no credentials required
• No SSRF — every endpoint is explicitly mapped. No generic pass-through tools
• Rate limiting — per-endpoint token buckets matching Polymarket's documented limits
• Credential scrubbing — sensitive values stripped from error output
• Write gates (v2) — POLYMARKET_WRITE_ENABLED env + per-call confirm=true parameter
• HTTP transport auth — optional bearer token for remote deployment

Rate Limits

Token-bucket rate limiter per endpoint group:

Group	Limit / 10s	Endpoints
clob_general	9,000	Health, tick-size
clob_pricing	1,500	Book, price, midpoint, spread
clob_batch	500	Batch books, prices, spreads
clob_history	1,000	Price history
