### Description (declared)

# Kalshi MCP Server

An open-source [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for Kalshi’s Trade API v2. It gives MCP clients a practical interface for researching markets, reading an account, and managing orders with RSA-PSS or Ed25519 authentication.

> **Important:** This server can place and cancel real orders. It defaults to Kalshi’s **production** environment; set `KALSHI_ENV=demo` explicitly for demo trading. Review the code, configure conservative limits, and test with demo credentials before using production credentials.

## What it provides

### Market research

- Exchange status
- Markets and events
- Individual market data
- Order books
- Public trades

### Account and trading

- Balance, positions, and orders
- Current V2 order placement
- Batched order placement
- Individual and bulk cancellation
- Order amendment and quantity reduction
- Order-group creation, limits, reset, trigger, listing, and deletion
- Legacy order helpers retained for compatibility

The `kalshi_endpoint` tool also exposes the validated operations from the bundled Kalshi OpenAPI catalog. It checks the HTTP method, endpoint template, query parameters, request body, and authentication requirements before making a request.

## Requirements

- Python 3.11 or newer
- A Kalshi API key and Ed25519 private key
- An MCP-compatible client

## Installation

From a released package or a source checkout:

```bash
python -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .
```

For environments where `cryptography` must use prebuilt wheels:

```bash
python -m pip install --only-binary=:all: httpx cryptography mcp
```

## Configuration

Copy the example configuration and provide credentials through your secret manager or process environment:

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Required for authenticated tools:

```text
KALSHI_API_KEY_ID=your-api-key-id
KALSHI_PRIVATE_KEY_BASE64=base64-encoded-PEM-private-key
```

Environment selection is explicit. Productio…
