list_marketsBrowse or filter markets. Kalshi has no free-text search, so use filters like series_ticker, event_ticker, status, or a comma-separated `tickers` list. Returns markets with prices (in dollars), status, and rules_primary.get_marketGet full detail for one market by ticker, including prices, status, and rules_primary/rules_secondary.list_eventsBrowse events (each groups related markets). Filter by series_ticker/status; set with_nested_markets to include markets inline.get_eventGet an event by ticker, including its settlement_sources and (optionally) nested markets.list_seriesList series (recurring market templates) filtered by category/tags.get_seriesGet a series by ticker. This is where the legal contract lives: settlement_sources, additional_prohibitions, and the rules PDFs (contract_terms_url, contract_url).get_market_orderbookGet the current order book (resting YES and NO bids) for a market. Optional depth (1-100).get_market_candlesticksGet OHLC price history for a market. Defaults to the last 24h at 60-minute candles; override with period_interval (1/60/1440), lookback_hours, or explicit start_ts/end_ts.get_market_tradesGet recent public trades (executions) for a market.get_market_rulesDeep settlement rules for a market: consolidates the market's rules_primary/rules_secondary/early_close_condition with the event's settlement_sources and the series' additional_prohibitions and rules-PDF links. Start here to understand how a market resolves; call fetch_rules_pdf to read the full legal contract.fetch_rules_pdfDownload and extract the text of a market's rules PDF so you can read the exact legal contract terms. Pass a market `ticker` or `series_ticker` (the server resolves the series' contract_terms_url or contract_url) or a direct `url`.get_environmentReport which Kalshi environment this server is configured for (demo sandbox vs prod real money), the REST base URL in use, and whether trading credentials are configured. Call this to confirm the environment before trading rather than guessing.market_searchSearch prediction events and markets by topic, entity, or natural-language query. Read-only; use before requesting snapshots when the event slug is unknown.events_topGet top-ranked prediction events with tradability, liquidity, volume, and market-quality signals. Read-only.events_snapshotsFetch current pricing, volume, lifecycle, liquidity, and market-quality snapshots for up to 200 known event slugs. Read-only.event_getGet public metadata and current state for one Norynta event slug. Read-only.agent_bootstrapStart here. Get Norynta agent discovery, access, protocol, entitlement, risk-control, and compatibility metadata in one read-only call.signal_matchMap a caller-provided signal, filing summary, flow observation, or news thesis to currently discoverable Norynta events. Returns candidates for research, not a trade recommendation or proof of causation.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
