polymarket-mcp 0.1.1

The simplest MCP server for Polymarket prediction-market data

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.

---

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.
