Setup

Connect your AI to Kalshi.

Choose Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client. Sign in and start researching markets on the Free plan — no card required. Connect your Kalshi account on a paid plan to view your portfolio or place orders.

  1. 1

    Connect your client

    Create your Kalshi MCP account, then follow the setup for your client below.

    Connection URL
    https://kalshi-mcp.com/api/mcp
    1. Open Customize → Connectors.
    2. Select + → Add custom connector and paste the connection URL above.
    3. Sign in to your Kalshi MCP account and approve the connection.

    On Team or Enterprise, an organization owner must add the connector under Organization settings → Connectors before members can connect. If only some tools appear after connecting, enable the rest in the connector's own settings — your client controls which tools are exposed, not your plan.
