Overview

AI-generated overview

MCP server and REST API that classifies Polymarket wallets as human or bot, scores their trading edge, and lists open positions.

What you can do
  • Score a wallet or username: human/bot/insufficient_data classification with confidence and reason codes, plus a 0-10 edge score
  • Read live open positions for a wallet, sorted by size and refreshed roughly every 30 seconds
  • List the raw Polymarket leaderboard, or a filtered view of scored humans above a minimum edge
  • Read score and position history from the service's daily snapshot dataset
When to use it
Useful when an agent is deciding whose Polymarket signals to follow, for example filtering copy-trading candidates instead of trusting the raw leaderboard, or checking whether a trader is a human with a real edge or a bot.
Requirements
Either the hosted remote endpoint or the local PyPI package polymarket-intel-mcp run with Python. An API key is optional via the POLYMARKET_INTEL_API_KEY environment variable or the X-API-Key header; anonymous access works at free-tier limits. Network access to the service and to Polymarket data is required.
Before you install
The optional API key unlocks higher rate limits and paid features, so paid usage may apply. Scores are heuristic estimates from behavioural signals and reconstructed PnL, not investment advice, and the README notes live numbers change over time. Wallet addresses and usernames you query are sent to the hosted service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Polymarket Wallet Intelligence in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.aemery13%2Fpolymarket-intel/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

Polymarket Wallet Intelligence

An MCP server and REST API that classifies Polymarket wallets as human or bot, scores their trading edge from 0–10, and streams their current open positions. Built for AI agents on copy-trading and signal-following stacks.

bash
# Use it from any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)pip install polymarket-intel-mcppolymarket-intel-mcp
# Or call the hosted REST API directlycurl https://polymarket-intel-production.up.railway.app/wallet/0xf1528f12e645462c344799b62b1b421a6a4c64aa

How this fits with other Polymarket MCP servers

Status

Latest: v1.2 (May 2026) — classifier improved to distinguish active human grinders from HFT bots. See release notes and v1.3 backlog issue for what's next.

A daily snapshot job runs at 08:00 UTC and re-scores the top 50 leaderboard wallets, building a historical dataset of classification stability over time.

There are several MCP servers covering Polymarket, each at a different layer:

ServerWhat it doesWhen to use it
polymarket-intel (this)Wallet intelligence — classify human vs bot, score trading edge, read open positionsDeciding whose signals to follow
graph-polymarket-mcpMarket data via The Graph subgraphs (20 tools, 8 subgraphs)Reading raw on-chain market data
whitmorelabs/polymarket-mcpSlippage, liquidity, arbitrage, price feedsPricing your own trades
joinQuantish/polymarketSelf-hosted trading agentRunning an autonomous bot

These complement each other. A copy-trading agent would use polymarket-intel to filter wallets worth following, then graph-polymarket-mcp to read the markets those wallets are betting on, then whitmorelabs/polymarket-mcp to size its own entries.

What it answers

  • "Is this trader a human or a bot?" — score_polymarket_wallet(wallet_address) → returns classification ∈ {human, bot, insufficient_data} plus a confidence score and reason codes.
  • "Do they actually have an edge?" — edge_score from 0–10, gated on net realised PnL so distributed-but-losing wallets don't get false positives.
  • "What are they betting on right now?" — get_open_positions(wallet_address) returns live positions sorted by size, refreshed every 30s.
  • "How has their edge changed over time?" — /wallet/{address}/history returns the score time series from the daily snapshots.

Why this exists

The Polymarket leaderboard is misleading. It includes unrealised PnL marked-to-current-price, so the names at the top are dominated by bots running structural arb plus a few wallets sitting on huge open positions that may never resolve in their favour. Agents that copy-trade naively from the leaderboard get burned.

This service runs every leaderboard wallet through behavioural fingerprinting (focus ratio, holding period, timing regularity, category concentration) plus PnL reconstruction from raw activity, and only surfaces traders that look like genuine humans with a real edge.

The dataset grows more valuable over time — every day the snapshot job runs, historical signals accumulate. Wallets that have been consistently above edge 7 for 90 days are a stronger signal than any single point-in-time score.

Core has no idea persistence exists. The API and snapshot job depend on the Repository protocol — Supabase in production, in-memory in tests and when env vars are unset. This is what makes the suite run without a database and what lets you swap Supabase for Neon, RDS, or anything else later by adding one file.

CLI

bash
python scripts/analyze_wallet.py phonesculptorpython scripts/analyze_wallet.py 0xf1528f12e645462c344799b62b1b421a6a4c64aa --json

REST API

bash
uvicorn api.main:app --reload --port 8000open http://localhost:8000/docs

The API is split into a slow tier (cached aggressively, cheap, ideal for one-off discovery) and a fast tier (short cache, ideal for live copy-trading agents). The split exists because the underlying data has different freshness needs — a wallet's classification doesn't change minute-to-minute, but their open positions do.

TierMethodPathTTLNotes
slowGET/wallet/{address}1hScore blob — classification, edge_score, signals. No positions. Persisted to history (debounced).
fastGET/wallet/{address}/positions30sOpen positions only. No DB write per call.
—GET/wallet/{address}/historyDBScore time series
—GET/wallet/{address}/positions/historyDBPosition changes over time
—GET/wallet/by-username/{username}1hConvenience lookup
—GET/leaderboard?limit=5030mRaw Polymarket top traders
—GET/leaderboard/verified?min_edge=51hFiltered to scored humans
—GET/leaderboard/historical?date=…DBLeaderboard at any past date
—GET/snapshots/latestDBWhen did the cron last run?

Why 30s on positions and not faster? Polygon block time is ~2s and Polymarket's activity index lags a few seconds. Polling below 10s gets you no fresher data, just rate-limit errors. 30s is the sweet spot for cost/freshness/upstream-friendliness.

Why debounced DB writes? A trading agent may hit /wallet/{address} thousands of times an hour. Writing a row per call would bloat history with near-duplicate snapshots. The score endpoint persists at most once per wallet per hour. The daily snapshot job guarantees coverage of the top 50 regardless of API traffic.

MCP server (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue)

bash
python mcp_server/server.py

Then drop mcp_server/claude_desktop_config.example.json into your Claude Desktop config and edit the absolute path.

The server exposes four tools:

  • score_polymarket_wallet(wallet_address) — full score
  • score_polymarket_user(username) — lookup by display name
  • get_polymarket_leaderboard(limit) — raw leaderboard
  • get_open_positions(wallet_address) — fast snapshot of live bets

Scoring methodology

Bot triggers (any one fires → bot)

SignalThresholdSource
Focus ratio> 12Hubble Research, validated empirically
Median hold time< 60sHFT / MEV pattern
Timing CV< 0.3 (n≥100)Scheduled trading

Soft signals stack: crypto-market-maker pattern, > 200 trades/day, etc.

Edge score (0–10) for humans

Hard gate: net realised PnL ≤ 0  →  capped at 2.0Hard gate: < 10 winning markets  →  capped at 3.0
35%  PnL magnitude (log-scaled)25%  win rate (capped at 70%)15%  PnL distribution (penalises top-1 concentration)15%  sample size (winning markets, capped at 50)10%  win/loss ratio (capped at 3x)

Net PnL is the hard gate so wallets like neutralwave23 — many distributed tiny wins masking $375k of losses — are correctly flagged as poor.

PnL reconstruction

money_in   = sum(BUY usdcSize per conditionId)money_out  = sum(SELL usdcSize) + sum(REDEEM usdcSize)pnl        = money_out - money_in
status:  REDEEM exists                                    → won  SELL exists, no REDEEM                           → exited  no SELL, no REDEEM, last trade > 7 days old      → lost  no SELL, no REDEEM, last trade within 7 days     → open

Why activity rather than the positions endpoint: positions vanish from the API after redeem, so any naive analysis using /positions undercounts wins. Always reconstruct from /activity?type=TRADE + /activity?type=REDEEM (separate calls — comma-joined types return 400).

Persistence (Supabase)

The historical dataset is the moat. Every day the snapshot job pulls the leaderboard, scores the top N wallets, and persists three things: the score itself (wallet_scores), the wallet's open positions at that moment (open_position_snapshots), and the leaderboard as it stood (leaderboard_snapshots). After 90 days you can answer questions no one else can: "who has been consistently above edge 7 for the last quarter?", "which wallets just entered the top 50?", "show me everyone who held YES on this market three days before resolution."

Setup

bash
# 1. Create a Supabase project, get the URL and service_role keycp .env.example .env  # fill in SUPABASE_URL and SUPABASE_KEY
# 2. Apply the schema (Supabase dashboard → SQL editor → paste db/schema.sql → run)#    Or via psql:#    psql "$DATABASE_URL" -f db/schema.sql
# 3. Run the snapshot job once to verify it writes:python scripts/snapshot_job.py --top 10

If SUPABASE_URL and SUPABASE_KEY are unset, both the API and the snapshot job fall back to an in-memory repository — the suite still passes, the API still serves live scoring, but history endpoints will be empty until you wire up Supabase.

Daily snapshot job

Schedule python scripts/snapshot_job.py --top 50 daily (Railway cron, GitHub Actions, or Supabase pg_cron triggering an edge function — your call). The job is idempotent: running twice creates two snapshots, which is fine — history queries pick the closest one.

bash
python scripts/snapshot_job.py --top 50              # productionpython scripts/snapshot_job.py --top 5  --dry-run    # local testing, no writes

Each run records an audit row in snapshot_runs with start/finish times, wallets scored, and error count.

Schema overview

TablePurpose
walletsOne row per wallet ever seen
wallet_scoresAppend-only score time series
open_position_snapshotsWhat each wallet held at each tick
leaderboard_snapshotsFull leaderboard, preserved daily
snapshot_runsAudit trail for the cron job

Two views (latest_wallet_scores, latest_leaderboard) make the common "what's current" queries cheap.

Repository pattern

db/repository.py defines a Repository protocol. Two implementations:

  • InMemoryRepository — thread-safe, lossy across restarts. Used in tests and as the dev-mode fallback.
  • SupabaseRepository — production. Wraps the supabase-py client.

The API and snapshot job depend only on the protocol. To swap Supabase for Neon or self-hosted Postgres, write one new class implementing the same six method signatures.

Pricing dimensions

The endpoint split was designed so each tier maps cleanly to a billing model. Suggested ranges:

TierEndpointsSuggested priceWhy
Discovery/wallet/{address}, /leaderboard/*$0.001–$0.01 / callSlow cache, mostly DB reads
Monitoring/wallet/{address}/positions$0.01–$0.05 / callFresh data, hits Polymarket each time
Streaming (v2)SSE feed of position changes$20–$100 / month flatContinuous fetch on our side
History/wallet/{address}/history etc.$0.005 / callPure DB read, value grows over time

The streaming endpoint is the one serious copy-trading bots will actually pay for, but it requires a continuous-fetch worker on our side — leaving it for v2 once we have signal that the per-call business works.

Deploy

Railway

Push the repo, point at it. railway.toml handles the rest.

Render / Heroku-style

Procfile is in place.

Caching

api/cache.py is a thread-safe in-memory TTL cache with the same interface as a Redis client. For multi-worker production, swap the singleton for redis.Redis() in one file. TTLs:

  • wallet score: 1h
  • open positions only: 5m
  • leaderboard: 30m
  • verified leaderboard: 1h

Testing

bash
pytest -v

Synthetic fixtures in tests/fixtures.py mimic the three real wallet patterns from the research phase (phonesculptor MLB human, gabigol HFT bot, neutralwave23 tilt loser) plus a low-data newbie. Tests run against fixtures only — no live API calls — so the suite is deterministic and CI-safe.

Distribution roadmap

  1. Now — REST API on Railway, Supabase for daily snapshot persistence
  2. Next — Publish to MCP Hub, Replit Agent Market, awesome-mcp-servers
  3. Later — x402 micropayments per call (USDC), historical query endpoints (the moat: every day we run, the dataset grows)

Verified wallet examples

These are the personas the test fixtures target. Live numbers will differ as activity changes:

WalletScoreNotes
phonesculptor~9/10MLB-focused human, distributed wins, real edge
gabigolbotCrypto 5-min Up/Down arb (edge largely dead post-Feb 2026)
