orcalayer-mcp
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the OrcaLayer API — Polymarket whale and market analytics inside Claude Desktop and other MCP clients.
It is a thin stdio wrapper over the orcalayer
Python SDK and exposes five tools:
Tool | What it does | Key |
| Rank smart-money whales by P&L, win rate or volume | No |
| A wallet's profile and performance summary | No |
| A wallet's largest open positions | No |
| Search markets where smart whales are clustering | No |
| Live feed of recent smart-whale trades | Premium |
Public tools work anonymously. whale_alerts needs a Premium API key
(get one) supplied via the
ORCALAYER_API_KEY environment variable.
New (2026-07-22): the Premium SSE stream (
/api/public/v1/live/trades) now carriessettlement_type(MINT/MERGE/COMPLEMENTARY/null) on every event — live-derived settlement mechanics, shadow-verified 100.000% accurate on MINT/MERGE. It describes how the match settled, not trader intent (~80% of all fills settle as MINT;null= honest refusal, not "not a mint"). Details: theorcalayer://api-referenceresource or orcalayer.com/docs/api.
Prompts
Ready-to-use prompts for common analytics scenarios:
Prompt | What it does |
| Full wallet analysis — smart money or farmer? |
| Markets where smart money disagrees with the current price |
| Whether a wallet's profit was real alpha or a hedge structure |
| Ukraine territorial markets with ISW frontline overlay |
In Claude Desktop, pick a prompt from the prompt menu (the + / slash-command
picker) — each one orchestrates the tools above for you.
