Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →
Endpoint Security78
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation is enforced on tool calls, advertised via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. Discovery is public, which costs nothing: no tool can be invoked without a token. View diagnostics → Pass
- HTTPS not yet verified: we couldn't determine whether a plaintext access path exists. View diagnostics → Unverified
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- The authorisation server offers only Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591), which MCP 2026-07-28 deprecated in favour of Client ID Metadata Documents. View diagnostics → Partial
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1047 tokens (~174/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
- Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage73
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 20% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

compare_markets Compare markets across venues ~122
Compare the same event contract across Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless side-by-side: probability, liquidity, settlement rules, and venue type. Use when the user wants to know "what's the spread between Polymarket and Kalshi on X" or "which venue has better liquidity for Y". Returns match confidence buckets (high/medium/low) and explains any mismatches. Real-money venues only — Manifold is excluded because play-money pricing isn't comparable to real-money.

discover_markets Discover trending markets ~126
Browse trending, high-volume, fast-moving, or high-disagreement prediction markets across Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless, and Manifold. Use when the user wants to explore what's happening — "what's hot on Polymarket today", "show me biggest political markets", "what events are ending soon" — rather than search a specific topic. Filter by category and sort by volume, newest, or ending soon.

inspect_platform Inspect platform ~106
Inspect a single named venue. Returns available capabilities, market data for the query, and metadata quality flags. Use when the user explicitly names a venue — "show me Polymarket markets on AI", "what's on Kalshi for Q4 inflation", "Manifold markets about geopolitics". For cross-venue queries use `search_markets` or `compare_markets`.

market_brief Generate market brief ~189
Generate a synthesized brief for a topic, combining real-money signals from Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless with Manifold community sentiment. Use for analytical queries like "what do markets think about the 2028 election", "odds on a Fed rate cut", or "how is crypto priced for year-end". Returns top markets by volume, cross-venue divergences, venue coverage, and risk flags. For raw market lists use `search_markets`.

|---|---|---|---|
| limit | number | — | — |
| min_volume | number | — | Minimum 24h USD volume per market. Real-money markets with missing volume data are kept but tagged with risk_flag 'volume_unconfirmed'. Sentiment markets (Manifold) are exempt — their volume is denom… |

scan_discrepancies Scan cross-venue discrepancies ~369
Surface cross-venue price discrepancies between Polymarket, Kalshi, and Limitless as a discovery feed for price discovery and divergence detection. Default threshold is 0.5% spread, below typical round-trip fees — most results are informational, not tradable arbitrage. Raise `min_spread` to 0.03+ for after-fee opportunities. The optional `query` parameter post-filters results by topic keywords on event titles — it does not perform a topic search; for topic-driven retrieval use `discover_markets` or `search_markets`. Pairs with missing volume data on at least one venue are flagged 'volume_unconfirmed'. All results are indicative only — not trade recommendations. Real-money venues only. Orderbook depth is not confirmed in Phase 1.

| min_spread | number | — | Minimum price gap to report (0.005 = 0.5%, 0.03 = 3 percentage points). Default 0.005 surfaces price discovery signals, most of which are below typical 4% round-trip fees and therefore informational… |
| min_volume | number | — | Minimum 24h USD volume on the thinner side of each pair. Pairs where at least one venue has missing volume data are kept but tagged with risk_flag 'volume_unconfirmed'. Set to 0 to disable. |
| query | string | — | Optional post-filter on event titles by topic keywords (e.g. 'crypto', 'election', 'fed'). This filters the discovery feed locally — it is not a topic search and may return zero results when today's… |

search_markets Search prediction markets ~135
Search live prediction markets and event contracts across Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless (real-money) and Manifold (sentiment). Use for queries on election odds, political markets, Fed rate decisions, crypto prices, sports outcomes, geopolitics, and other binary markets with crowd-sourced probabilities. Returns unified results with title, current probability, volume, liquidity, expiration, source venue, and risk flags. For topic synthesis use `market_brief`; for browsing trending markets use `discover_markets`.
