simmer-mcp-setup

simmer-mcp-setup is a skill for Codex from SpartanLabsXyz/simmer-sdk. It costs 87 tokens per session (10,164 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A one-time setup skill for installing and connecting the Simmer MCP server to an agent runtime. Simmer provides market and trading tools, while an MCP server lets an agent call those tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after registering on Simmer markets to query markets, check account state, place guarded trades, or run bundled trading playbooks. It supports paper trading by default, while live trading requires explicit settings.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of installing the server, writing the right configuration, restarting the runtime, and checking that the connection works.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: runs codex exec. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/me/proj.

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

simmer-mcp-setup 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 5d 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.

Simmer MCP Setup

One-shot bootstrap that wires the Simmer MCP server into your agent runtime. Read-once, run-once — after this completes, the skill itself isn't needed again.

What the Simmer MCP is (and isn't)

The Simmer MCP gives your agent raw market/trade tools plus a small pinned catalog of core Simmer skills it can invoke as tools. Strategy skills such as polymarket-copytrading, polymarket-fast-loop, and kalshi-weather-trader install on demand from ClawHub instead of shipping inside the npm package.

What this MCP is for: querying markets, checking account state, placing guarded direct trades, and running the core bundled Simmer playbooks through your agent. For situational strategies, ask the agent to install the current ClawHub skill first (for example, clawhub install polymarket-copytrading) and then follow that skill's instructions. Real trades land on the configured venue — paper sim by default, real venues require an explicit triple opt-in (dry_run=false + venue=polymarket|kalshi + SIMMER_MCP_ALLOW_LIVE=true env var on the MCP server).

Raw trade primitives (added in MCP v3.3.0): the MCP now exposes raw primitives as standalone tools alongside the per-skill executors — simmer_get_markets, simmer_get_market_context, simmer_get_briefing, simmer_trade, simmer_cancel_order, and get_portfolio/get_positions/get_expiring_positions. So ad-hoc operations like "show me Polymarket markets for the world cup" or "place a $2 paper YES on this market" now work directly through MCP. simmer_trade is paper-by-default — live execution needs the triple gate (dry_run=false + a live trading_venue + SIMMER_MCP_ALLOW_LIVE=true). The Python SDK still offers the fullest primitive surface (client.trade(), client.get_briefing(), etc.) for custom logic.

So: MCP and SDK are different shapes, both legitimate. MCP runs pre-built strategies and raw primitives through your agent with safety defaults; the SDK builds custom logic with full primitive access.

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.
