PolyMarket MCP Server

Name: PolyMarket MCP Server
Author: undiabler

Opinionated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for large-scale agentic integrations with the PolyMarket API. This server provides smart tools for LLM agents to search, navigate, and filter interesting events. This MCP server is NOT designed and will NOT be able to perform actual bets. The sole purpose is to provide relevant data for exploration. Actual participation (account management) is a separate responsibility that should not be mixed with this project. The server is designed for remote use and easy connection to most of MCP clients.

Motivation

This project is the third iteration of tools that were developed to automate Polymarket betting using LLMs with human feedback. The first few iterations very quickly faced environment limitations because they were designed for specific use cases. This third iteration overcomes all previously faced problems and is designed to be simultaneously integrated in a universal way into different environments: Claude, OpenCode, ChatGPT, PydanticAI, n8n, etc. It provides tools with limited responsibility but a very high level of abstraction.

Features

In-memory cache: All Polymarket events loaded at startup for instant queries
Background daemon: Automatic updates (incremental fetch, refresh stale, cleanup expired)
Events first: Events are the primary entity (stop overbetting on the same event)
Global analytics: Total liquidity, market counts, distribution metrics
Combined filtering: Search by liquidity, expiry, tags, profit potential
Remote MCP: Run on server and connect to existing online clients
Universal sanitizer: Handles extra metadata fields (tool, id, toolCallId) that some MCP clients inject into tool arguments
Data redundancy: Duplication of important data formats to reduce hallucinations and missinterpretations (Qwen, Mistral, Kimi K2, MiniMax)

Installation and Usage

This system was designed to run remotely, making Docker the ideal standard for packaging the project without worrying about dependencies. Docker also enables easy horizontal scaling by running multiple container instances.

Quick Start (Remote Build)

Build directly from GitHub on your remote server:

docker build -t polymarket-mcp https://github.com/undiabler/polymarket-mcp.git

Local Build

Alternatively, clone the repository and build locally:

git clone https://github.com/undiabler/polymarket-mcp.git cd polymarket-mcp docker build -t polymarket-mcp .

Running the Server

Once the Docker image is built, run the container:

docker run -d -p 8000:8000 --name polymarket-mcp-app \ -e MCP_BEARER_TOKEN=<your generated key to secure> \ --volume polycache:/app/data \ polymarket-mcp

That's it! Your MCP server is now running and accessible at http://your-server-ip:8000 as an endpoint for MCP clients. You can also skip --volume flag, but your application will start slow since it will load all events on statrup. Mounted volume preserve cache between restarts.
