🚀 Quick Start

One-Command Installation (Recommended)

Try DEMO mode first (no wallet needed):

# macOS/Linux
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/caiovicentino/polymarket-mcp-server/main/quickstart.sh | bash

# Or clone and run locally
git clone https://github.com/caiovicentino/polymarket-mcp-server.git
cd polymarket-mcp-server
./quickstart.sh

Full installation (with trading):

# macOS/Linux
./install.sh

# Windows
install.bat

The automated installer will:

• ✓ Check Python version (3.10+)

• ✓ Create virtual environment

• ✓ Install all dependencies

• ✓ Configure environment

• ✓ Set up Claude Desktop integration

• ✓ Test the installation

Installation Options

DEMO Mode vs Full Mode

DEMO Mode (No wallet required):

• ✅ Market discovery and search

• ✅ Real-time market analysis

• ✅ AI-powered insights

• ✅ Price monitoring

• ❌ Trading disabled (read-only)

Full Mode (Requires Polygon wallet):

• ✅ Everything in DEMO mode

• ✅ Place orders and execute trades

• ✅ Portfolio management

• ✅ Position tracking

• ✅ Real-time trade notifications

Manual Installation

If you prefer manual setup:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/caiovicentino/polymarket-mcp-server.git
cd polymarket-mcp-server

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install the package
pip install -e .

Configuration

Option 1: DEMO Mode (easiest)

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and set:
DEMO_MODE=true

Option 2: Full Trading Mode

cp .env.example .env
# Edit with your Polygon wallet credentials
nano .env

Required credentials (Full Mode):

POLYGON_PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_without_0x_prefix
POLYGON_ADDRESS=0xYourPolygonAddress

Recommended Safety Limits:

MAX_ORDER_SIZE_USD=1000
MAX_TOTAL_EXPOSURE_USD=5000
MAX_POSITION_SIZE_PER_MARKET=2000
MIN_LIQUIDITY_REQUIRED=10000
MAX_SPREAD_TOLERANCE=0.05
ENABLE_AUTONOMOUS_TRADING=false
REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION_ABOVE_USD=500

With ENABLE_AUTONOMOUS_TRADING=false (the default), every order is held and returned as confirmation_required until you re-issue it with confirm=true. Set it to true to let orders under REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION_ABOVE_USD go through without that step.

Claude Desktop Integration

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "polymarket": {
      "command": "/path/to/your/venv/bin/python",

        "POLYGON_PRIVATE_KEY": "your_private_key",

      }
    }
  }
}

Autonomous Trading

"Buy $100 of YES tokens in [market_id] at $0.65"
"Place a limit order: sell 200 NO at $0.40 in [market]"
"Execute a smart trade: buy YES up to $500 in [market] using best strategy"
"Cancel all my open orders in the government shutdown market"
"Rebalance my position in [market] to $1000 with max 2% slippage"

Portfolio Management

"Monitor my order status in real-time"
"Alert me when the Eagles vs Packers market moves more than 10%"
"Show me real-time orderbook updates for [token_id]"

🧪 Testing

# Install dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run all tests
pytest

# Run specific test suite
pytest tests/test_trading_tools.py -v

# Run with coverage
pytest --cov=polymarket_mcp --cov-report=html

# Run market analysis demo
python demo_mcp_tools.py

Note: All tests use real Polymarket APIs - NO MOCKS!

🛡️ Safety & Security

⚠️ Important Security Considerations

• Private Key Protection: Never share or commit your private key

• Start Small: Begin with small amounts ($50-100) to test

• Understand Markets: Only trade in markets you understand

• Monitor Positions: Check your positions regularly

• Use Safety Limits: Configure appropriate limits for your risk tolerance

• Never Risk More: Than you can afford to lose

Default Safety Limits

MAX_ORDER_SIZE_USD=1000              # Maximum $1,000 per order
MAX_TOTAL_EXPOSURE_USD=5000          # Maximum $5,000 total exposure
MAX_POSITION_SIZE_PER_MARKET=2000    # Maximum $2,000 per market
MIN_LIQUIDITY_REQUIRED=10000         # Minimum $10,000 market liquidity
MAX_SPREAD_TOLERANCE=0.05            # Maximum 5% spread
ENABLE_AUTONOMOUS_TRADING=false      # Every order needs confirm=true
REQUIRE_CONFIRMATION_ABOVE_USD=500   # When autonomous: confirm orders over $500

These can be customized in your .env file or Claude Desktop config.

Choosing the Outcome

Order tools take an outcome argument ("Yes", "No", or a label like "Lakers"). On a Yes/No market it defaults to Yes. Sports and multi-outcome markets have no Yes/No side, so the outcome must be given explicitly — the tool refuses the order and lists the available outcomes rather than guessing a side.
