Kalshi

Access regulated prediction market data with event search, orderbooks, trade feeds, and OHLC price history.

Setup

Connect the Kalshi toolkit to enable your AI assistant to query real-time prediction market data, odds, and volumes.

Prerequisites

Before connecting, ensure you have configured an MCP server in your toolforest.io dashboard.

Setup Steps

Kalshi uses a public API and does not require you to log in or link a personal account.

Step 1: Connect

  1. Navigate to your MCP server panel in the toolforest.io dashboard.
  2. Locate the Kalshi toolkit.
  3. Click the Connect button.

Step 2: Confirmation

The connection will be established immediately. The toolkit status will change to Connected, and you can begin querying market data right away.

Understanding Data Access

Public API Access

This toolkit connects to Kalshi’s public data layer. It allows your AI assistant to:

  • Search Markets: Find events by keyword (e.g., “Election 2024,” “Fed Rates”).
  • View Odds: Retrieve current probability prices for outcomes.
  • Analyze Volume: Check market liquidity and trading activity.

No Account Required

Because this toolkit provides read-only access to public market information, it does not require an account connection, wallet, or private keys. Your AI assistant can analyze markets but cannot execute trades or manage funds on your behalf.

Managing Your Connection

Disconnect

To disconnect the toolkit:

  1. Click the Disconnect button in your MCP server panel.
  2. The toolkit will immediately stop serving market data to your LLM.

Note: Since no account authorization is required, there are no third-party permissions to revoke.
