Polymarket MCP Server

⚠️ Notice: Quantish is winding down. The Quantish platform (quantish.live) is shutting down. This MCP server is self-hosted and will continue to work independently, but the Quantish team will no longer be maintaining or updating this project. If you're building in the prediction market space and need real-time data infrastructure, check out polynode.dev.

API Keys

Note: Market search tools (search_markets, get_market, get_active_markets) are available via the Discovery MCP.

API Format

The server exposes a JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint at /mcp:

curl -X POST https://your-server.com/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_balances",
      "arguments": {}
    },
    "id": 1
  }'

MCP Client Configuration

Claude Desktop / Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polymarket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://your-server.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Security

Returning Users

For security, returning users (existing externalId) cannot get new API keys without authentication. Options:

1. Use existing API key - If you have it saved
2. HMAC Authentication (trusted bots only) - Sign with BOT_SIGNING_SECRET:

   signature = HMAC-SHA256(externalId:timestamp, BOT_SIGNING_SECRET)
   

3. New Account - Use a different externalId
