PolyBridge MCP

PolyBridge MCP gives Claude Desktop probabilistic foresight from live prediction markets.

Ask a question about the future, even when no exact market exists. PolyBridge finds relevant markets, synthesizes the evidence, and returns a read-only forecast with probabilities and source-market metadata.

No API key is required at anonymous limits. Add POLYBRIDGE_API_KEY only for higher usage.

PolyBridge MCP is read-only. It does not trade or move funds.

Tools

PolyBridge MCP exposes two read-only tools:

• polybridge_search
• polybridge_forecast

Both tools are read-only. They do not place trades, submit orders, handle custody, or perform write actions.

Search

polybridge_search retrieves relevant prediction markets for a topic or question.

• Search results return ranked prediction-market retrieval results.
• Scores are relevance/ranking scores, not probabilities.
• Local MCPB Search works without POLYBRIDGE_API_KEY at anonymous limits.
• Configure POLYBRIDGE_API_KEY only for higher usage.
• If dimensions is omitted, Search uses all supported dimensions by default:

direct, upstream, downstream, and correlated.

Forecast

polybridge_forecast generates read-only forecasts using PolyBridge market search and evidence synthesis.

• Forecast responses return forecast outputs and probabilities.
• Local MCPB Forecast works without POLYBRIDGE_API_KEY at anonymous limits.
• Configure POLYBRIDGE_API_KEY only for higher usage.
• A search_forecast key can power both Search and Forecast.

Non-goals

PolyBridge MCP does not provide:

• trading
• orders
• payments
• sessions
• market history
• market lookup
• Situation Rooms
• internal APIs
• custody
• write actions
