The simplest MCP server for Polymarket prediction-market data

Project description

Polymarket MCP Server

The simplest way to query Polymarket prediction-market data with AI agents.

Built by Polycool — track & copy top Polymarket traders in one tap.

PyPI Python 3.10+ License: MIT


What is this?

A lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any AI agent instant access to Polymarket prediction-market data — search markets, check probabilities, analyse liquidity, track price history, and more.

Built with FastMCP in pure Python. Part of the Polycool ecosystem.

Why does this exist?

AI agents need real-time data feeds to be useful. Prediction markets are one of the best sources of crowd-sourced probability estimates on world events.

This project bridges the gap:

  • No trading. Read-only market data.
  • No wallets. No blockchain signing, no private keys.
  • No complexity. Seven tools, zero configuration.

Just plug it into Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client and start asking questions about the future.


Tools

Tool Description
search_markets Full-text search across all markets (e.g. "Bitcoin", "NBA", "election")
trending_markets Top markets ranked by 24-hour volume
new_markets Most recently launched markets
markets_closing_soon Markets resolving within N hours
market_summary Detailed probability, volume, liquidity, spread & metadata
market_orderbook Live orderbook with bids, asks, spread & last trade price
market_price_history Historical price data with min, max, and % change over any time window

Quick Install

Prerequisites

Install uv (fast Python package manager):

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Cursor

Add to your ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (per-project):

macOS / Linux:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polymarket": {
      "command": "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/bin/uvx",
      "args": ["--python", "3.11", "polymarket-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polymarket": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--python", "3.11", "polymarket-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Note: On macOS/Linux, Cursor may not find uvx in your PATH. Use the full path instead — run which uvx in your terminal to find it.

Restart Cursor. The Polymarket tools appear in the tool list.

Claude Desktop

Add to your config file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polymarket": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--python", "3.11", "polymarket-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

pip

pip install polymarket-mcp
polymarket-mcp

Example Prompts

Once connected, try asking your AI agent:

"Show me the top 10 trending markets on Polymarket"

"Find all markets about Bitcoin"

"Which markets resolve in the next 24 hours?"

"Give me a detailed summary of this market"

"Show me the price history for this market over the last week"

"What does the orderbook look like for this market?"


Example Output

{
  "market_id": "21742",
  "question": "Will Bitcoin exceed $100,000 by June 2026?",
  "probability": 0.72,
  "volume_24h": 245000,
  "volume_total": 8900000,
  "liquidity": 620000,
  "best_bid": 0.71,
  "best_ask": 0.73,
  "spread": 0.02,
  "category": "Crypto",
  "end_date": "2026-06-30T00:00:00Z",
  "active": true
}
