Kalshi MCP - Prediction Markets Server¶

What It Is¶

Kalshi is the first CFTC-regulated prediction market in the US. This MCP server gives AI agents programmatic access to Kalshi markets - enabling programmatic event-driven analysis and trading.

GitHub: https://github.com/onofre-jauregui/kalshi-mcp (TypeScript, new)

Tools Available¶

Tool	Description
`get_markets`	List available prediction markets with prices and volume
`get_positions`	Check current positions across all markets
`place_order`	Place buy/sell orders on event contracts
`get_market_history`	Historical pricing and settlement data

Quick Start¶

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/onofre-jauregui/kalshi-mcp.git
cd kalshi-mcp
npm install

# Configure environment
export KALSHI_API_KEY="your-kalshi-api-key"
export KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY="your-private-key-path"

# Add to Hermes
hermes mcp add kalshi --command "node" --args "dist/index.js" --workdir "$(pwd)" \
  --env KALSHI_API_KEY KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY

Manual Configuration¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kalshi": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "KALSHI_API_KEY": "your-kalshi-api-key",
        "KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY": "/path/to/private-key.pem"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prerequisites¶

Kalshi Account: Sign up at kalshi.com
API Key: Generate from Kalshi developer dashboard
RSA Private Key: Required for authenticated API calls (Kalshi uses RSA-based auth)

Business Use Cases¶

Event-Driven Analysis: Have AI agents monitor prediction market probabilities for real-time event forecasting
Market Scanning: Scan all active markets for mispriced event contracts
Portfolio Monitoring: Track event-contract portfolio performance and risk exposure
Programmatic Hedging: Use prediction markets to hedge against defined-event risks

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.

This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.

Limitations¶

US-only (Kalshi is CFTC-regulated for US residents)
Kalshi API requires RSA key-pair authentication (more complex than Bearer tokens)
New server - limited tool coverage, expect rapid iteration
Prediction markets are not available in all US states
