Facts only — not investment advice. Every answer is implied probability, volume, and price history from the markets themselves (plus, for pm_sentiment, a plain read of what X/Twitter is saying). Nothing here is a buy/sell/hold signal, a trade recommendation, or financial advice.

Why this exists

Prediction markets (Polymarket, Kalshi) already price real-world questions — elections, Fed decisions, macro events — as crowd-forecast odds. Reading them across two platforms usually means two different SDKs, two rate limits, and no cross-platform comparison. This server does both in one call, charges per request instead of a subscription, and there is nothing to cancel.

Tools

pm_search — $0.01

Markets on Polymarket + Kalshi matching a question or topic, ranked by relevance, each with probability, 24h change, volume, close date, URL, and id (use the id with pm_history or pm_watch). Inputs: q (required), limit (optional, 1-50, default 20).

pm_odds — $0.02

"What do the markets say" for one question — the headline market per platform, the cross-platform probability gap, 7-day history, and a one-line summary:

{
  "headline": { "polymarket": {...}, "kalshi": {...}, "gap_pts": 4 },
  "history_7d": { "points": [...] },
  "summary": "..."
}

Input: q (required). Use pm_search instead when you want the full ranked list.

pm_movers — $0.02

Biggest 24h/7d probability swings among liquid Polymarket markets — what's newly hot. Inputs: window (optional, 24h default or 7d), limit (optional, 1-50, default 20).

pm_history — $0.02

One market's probability series over time, first/last/high/low. Inputs: id (required — a Polymarket condition id/slug/numeric id, or a Kalshi ticker, from pm_search), interval (optional, 1d/1w/1m/max, default 1w).

pm_ticker_events — $0.01

Open Polymarket + Kalshi markets mentioning a US stock ticker or company (a bare ticker like TSLA is also matched against the company name, Tesla). Facts only — implied probability, 24h change, volume — never a trade signal. Inputs: q (required — ticker or company/topic), limit (optional, 1-50, default 20).

pm_sentiment — $0.05

What the markets say AND what X/Twitter is saying about the SAME question, one call: headline market probability, an AI read of X chatter's yes/no lean, key themes, driving accounts, notable post URLs, and an aligned / diverges / no_clear_read verdict comparing the two:

{
  "summary": "Markets price \"...\" at 62%. X chatter (14 recent posts) leans YES — aligned with the market.",
  "agreement": "aligned",
  "market": { "polymarket": {...}, "kalshi": {...}, "gap_pts": 3 },
  "x": { "lean": "yes", "lean_note": "...", "summary": "...", "key_themes": [...] }
}

Input: q (required). No market matched on either platform = no charge.

pm_watch — $0.02

Monitor 1-20 market ids or a topic, get back only the change since your last check: current probability, change_since_cursor (probability points), a moved flag, and (for a topic watch) newly-listed markets. Pass the response's cursor back in next time — it's stateless, so you can run any number of watches in parallel. Inputs: ids (1-20 comma-separated ids) OR q (a topic) — provide one, not both; cursor (optional, omit on the first call); min_move (optional, probability points, default 3). Nothing moved and nothing new = no charge — the fresh cursor still comes back so your monitor keeps its place.

pm_gaps — $0.02

Biggest Polymarket-vs-Kalshi disagreements on the SAME question — matched by topic, close date, and shared numbers, with a match_confidence score and a polarity check so opposite-side matches never show as a misleading gap. Served from a snapshot rebuilt every 30 minutes. Inputs: limit (optional, 1-50, default 20), min_gap (optional, probability points, default 5), q (optional topic filter). No matches at that gap size = no charge; snapshot not built yet after a cold start = free, retry shortly.

pm_closing — $0.01

Markets on both platforms closing within 24h or 7d, sorted by volume. Inputs: window (optional, 24h default or 7d), limit (optional, 1-50, default 20), q (optional topic filter).

pm_resolved — $0.01

Markets on both platforms that settled within 24h or 7d, with the final outcome and last price — for grading a forecast against reality. Same inputs as pm_closing.

pm_example — free

A real pm_odds result for a fixed question ("fed rate cut"), capped to 5 markets and 12 history points, refreshed every 6 hours. No wallet, no payment, no x402 needed — use it to see the answer shape before spending on any paid tool. No inputs.

Setup

You need a Coinbase CDP wallet funded with a little USDC on Base — that wallet pays per call. Create one at portal.cdp.coinbase.com (API key + wallet secret). pm_example works without any of this — it's free.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code — add to claude_desktop_config.json (or .mcp.json for Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "prediction-market-signal": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "prediction-market-signal-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CDP_API_KEY_ID": "your-key-id",
        "CDP_API_KEY_SECRET": "your-key-secret",
        "CDP_WALLET_SECRET": "your-wallet-secret",
        "X402_MAX_PRICE": "0.05"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor — Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server, same command/args/env as above.

X402_MAX_PRICE is a hard per-call ceiling in USD. If the endpoint ever quotes more than this, the request is refused before anything is signed — no charge. The default 0.05 already covers every paid tool above (the priciest is pm_sentiment at $0.05) — you don't need to raise it.

Payment

x402, bring-your-own-wallet. Every paid tool pays from the wallet you configure — your own Coinbase CDP account, funded with USDC on Base. There is no server-side wallet and no shared account: each call signs its own USDC authorization, and the endpoint's facilitator settles it on Base. Gas is covered by the facilitator; you spend USDC only.

Cost & safety

• You are only ever charged for a successful answer. Invalid inputs are rejected before payment (HTTP 400, no settlement).

• Nothing found = nothing charged. An empty pm_search / pm_ticker_events / pm_gaps / pm_closing / pm_resolved / pm_sentiment comes back as no_results with charged: false — the payment is never settled.

• pm_watch only charges when something moved or something new appeared. A check that finds nothing new is free — poll it on a schedule without worry.

• pm_gaps before its 30-minute background snapshot has finished its first build answers free (503) instead of charging for an incomplete answer.

• If the upstream market data fails after payment, the API returns an explicit error and logs the call for refund rather than pretending it worked.

• Facts only, not investment advice. Every number is a market price or a plain read of public chatter — never a recommendation to trade, a price target, or a buy/sell/hold call.

How it works

MCP client → prediction-market-signal-mcp → 402 challenge → sign USDC authorization
           → facilitator settles on Base → data returned

Protocol: x402 v2 (CAIP-2 networks, PAYMENT-REQUIRED challenge header).
