How do I install the polymarket mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `POLYMARKET_PRIVATE_KEY`, `POLYMARKET_FUNDER` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Polymarket MCP Server?

Match news headlines to the Polymarket prediction markets they move - live odds and deep links

The short version

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects real-world news to prediction markets. Plenty of MCP servers can look up Polymarket prices; this one answers a different question: "this just happened — where can the world's belief about it be read?" Matching is deterministic and explainable — every match reports the exact terms that fired and a confidence score, so your agent can judge the match itself.
