### Description (declared)

# langbot-mcp

<!-- mcp-name: ai.langbot/langbot -->

MCP server for [Langbot](https://langbot.ai), the data and simulation layer for every market on
Kalshi and Polymarket: search any market and read its price history, compare the same question
across both venues, replay past events against the order books Langbot recorded, and, for
markets that settle on what is said (mention markets are one example), the live record of the
event with verifiable receipts. Data, never trading signals or advice: the optional strategy
tools are off unless you opt in.

Over local stdio, `search_markets` and `get_market_history` work without a token.

```bash
uvx langbot-mcp                      # stdio — what Claude Code / Cursor / Claude Desktop / Codex run
langbot-mcp --http                   # streamable HTTP on 0.0.0.0:8001 at /mcp (hosted: https://mcp.langbot.ai/mcp); multi-tenant, token per request
langbot mcp install claude-code      # one-command install (also: cursor, claude-desktop, codex, all)
```

Manual client entry:

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "langbot": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["langbot-mcp"], "env": { "LANGBOT_API_TOKEN": "lb_…" } } } }
```

Hosted, for clients that send headers (Cursor, Claude Code `--transport http`):

```json
{ "mcpServers": { "langbot": { "url": "https://mcp.langbot.ai/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer lb_…" } } } }
```

**Auth.** Each tool's `_meta` has `langbot/auth` (`none` | `token`: what the feed needs, which is
what applies over local stdio) and `langbot/auth_hosted` (always `bearer`). The hosted endpoint
needs `Authorization: Bearer lb_…` on every tool call and resource read, including `none` tools;
without a token, run it locally (`uvx langbot-mcp`).

## Tools

| tool | what |
|---|---|
| `search_markets(query, venue?, status, category?, limit)` | every Kalshi and Polymarket market Langbot lists (no token on stdio) |
| `get_market_history(ticker, max_points=200)` | one market's status, result and price history; whether its book…
