polymarket-mcp

AI-agent ready FastMCP server for Polymarket market discovery, wallet analytics, and public CLOB data.

polymarket-mcp gives MCP clients a typed, read-only interface for asking questions like:

• "Find active markets about inflation and summarize liquidity."

• "Inspect this wallet's current positions and recent activity."

• "Compare order book depth, midpoint, and spread for these outcome tokens."

• "Pull historical prices so an agent can reason about market movement."

This project is intentionally read-only in 0.1.x. It does not place trades, sign orders, manage keys, or require wallet credentials.

Why agents use it

• Typed outputs reduce brittle prompt parsing and normalize inconsistent upstream JSON.

• Tool docstrings are written for LLM routing, so agents can choose the right surface quickly.

• Namespaces keep workflows clear: gamma for discovery, data for wallets, clob for live market microstructure.

• Real MCP end-to-end tests exercise both in-process client sessions and subprocess stdio transport.

• No authenticated trading actions are exposed, which keeps exploratory agents inside a safer read-only boundary.

Tool surfaces

Install

pip install polymarket-mcp-server
polymarket-mcp

Run ephemerally with uvx:

uvx --from polymarket-mcp-server polymarket-mcp

MCP client config

Use this stdio entry in an MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polymarket": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "polymarket-mcp-server", "polymarket-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Local development

This repository uses PDM.

pdm install -G dev
pdm install -G docs
pdm run mcp-inspect      # inspect the composed MCP surface
pdm run mcp-run          # run the stdio MCP server
pdm run test             # run pytest
pdm run test-mcp         # run real MCP client/server e2e tests
pdm run all              # tests + strict docs + MCP inspect

Run the package entrypoint directly:

pdm run python -m polymarket_mcp.server

Safety model

polymarket-mcp is built for research, monitoring, and agent reasoning over public data. It intentionally excludes:

• private key handling

• authenticated trading

• order placement or cancellation

• wallet mutation

• custody or signing flows

If you build a trading layer on top, keep it separate from this read-only server and require explicit human authorization.
