How do I use Context MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Context MCP Server list active prediction markets" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Quick Start

Claude Code

claude mcp add context-markets -- npx context-markets-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "context-markets": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["context-markets-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

No environment variables needed — the server walks you through setup on first use.

Getting Started

The first time you (or your agent) use a trading tool, the server will guide you through onboarding:

Wallet — context_generate_wallet creates a new wallet or imports an existing private key
Save credentials — persists to ~/.config/context/config.env (chmod 600, shared with the CLI)
API key — pass your Context API key (get one at context.markets) via the apiKey param
Approve contracts — context_account_setup approves on-chain (requires ETH on Base for gas)
Deposit USDC — context_deposit deposits USDC into the exchange

If anything fails (no ETH, rate limit, etc.), you can re-run the same tool — it detects your existing config and picks up where you left off.

Manual setup

If you prefer to configure manually:

# Option 1: Environment variables
export CONTEXT_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export CONTEXT_PRIVATE_KEY="0x..."

# Option 2: Config file (created by context_generate_wallet or `context setup` in the CLI)
# ~/.config/context/config.env

Credentials are loaded in order: env vars > config file.

Need an API key? Visit context.markets.

Key Concepts

Prices are in cents (1–99). A price of 65 means $0.65 per share.
Outcomes are yes or no. Each market is a binary question.
Read-only tools work with zero config. Trading tools need a wallet — run context_generate_wallet first.
Shared config. The MCP server and CLI share ~/.config/context/config.env, so you only set up once.
