Claude setup
Connect Claude to Kalshi MCP.
Research markets, investigate rules, view your portfolio, place orders, and track your positions in Claude.
https://kalshi-mcp.com- Open Customize → Connectors.
- Select + → Add custom connector and paste the connection URL above.
- 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.
