project-overview

Project rules and architecture notes for a Python MCP server that provides read-only Polymarket prediction-market data to AI agents through Gamma and Data APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or reviewing this Polymarket server, especially its tools, configuration, HTTP helpers, formatters, resources, and prompts.
Why use it?
They give code changes a shared understanding of the project’s layers, API boundaries, transport, imports, and restrictions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

project-overview scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Polymarket MCP

Python MCP server exposing Polymarket prediction market data to AI agents via read-only Gamma and Data APIs. No CLOB/trading integration.

Architecture Layers

  • server.py — FastMCP instance, main(), registration imports
  • tools/*.py — MCP tool handlers (orchestration, param building, parallel requests)
  • resources.py / prompts.py — static resources and workflow prompts
  • config.pySettings, annotations, instructions, and API URL constants
  • utils/helpers.py — HTTP transport (get) and MCP wrappers (text, err)
  • utils/formatters.py — Pure functions: API JSON → markdown for agents

API Boundaries

  • Gamma (gamma_url): market search, market details by slug
  • Data (data_url): user positions, portfolio value, leaderboard

Key Constraints

  • Read-only; no order placement or wallet signing
  • Transport: streamable-http on port 8000
  • Python 3.12+, package manager is uv only
  • Flat imports (from polymarket_mcp.config import Settings) — package is installed via uv sync

See docs/PROJECT_KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md for full onboarding reference.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

project-overview is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository 0xChron/polymarket-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 297 tokens to every session, about $0.0015 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
