How the connection is arranged: your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Codex or another client that supports MCP) connects to TaskFuel, which holds one prepaid balance; your agent sees the price before it pays. Data comes from Polymarket data via Otto, and each request is priced and paid separately. ### Search markets and read outcome prices Return matching questions, event links, outcome probabilities, bid/ask, spread, volume and liquidity. Our Fed-rate query returned ten markets. Price: $0.001 / search. ## A real example Tested on 2026-11-05 through Otto. The response returned ten matching markets with questions, outcome prices and event links. The first asked whether no Fed rate cuts would happen in 2026. Your agent asked: Search open Polymarket questions about a Fed rate cut Returned in this test: - First question: Will no Fed rate cuts happen in 2026? - Outcome prices: Yes 0.973; No 0.027 - Bid / ask: 0.972 / 0.974; spread 0.002 - Market link: How many Fed rate cuts in 2026? - As of: 2026-11-05 16:20:08 UTC Charged in this test: $0.001. One dated, read-only search through the TaskFuel API. MCP uses the same operation. No order or wallet action was performed. ## When to use it ### Find the actual market question. Your agent reads matching questions and follows each event link for its resolution terms. ### Compare outcomes and spreads. Your agent reads the returned outcome prices, bid/ask and liquidity together, using the response timestamp. ## Start with TaskFuel [Start for Free](https://app.taskfuel.ai/). Sign up, connect your agent and ask for the task you need. ## Questions ### Can I get Polymarket data for free? Yes. Polymarket documents public market-data requests without credentials. A community MCP can expose those requests to your agent without per-call data charges. ### When is TaskFuel worth using? TaskFuel is a hosted connection with one balance for this search and other paid tools. A free community server is a better fit when you want to run a dedicated Polymarket connection yourself. ### Does this place trades? The demonstrated operation reads public market data. It does not sign transactions, place orders or access a private wallet. ### What did the search cost? The Fed-rate search cost $0.001 on 5 November 2026 and returned ten markets. Your agent shows the price for your own request before it pays. ### Are the displayed probabilities forecasts? They are the outcome prices returned in one dated market snapshot. The market question and its resolution terms define what each outcome means. ### Do I need a Polymarket or Otto account? No. Your agent pays from your TaskFuel balance, so there is nothing else to sign up for. ## Related tool guides - [Compare prediction-market API options](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/prediction-market-api/) - [Read stock quotes through MCP](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/yahoo-finance-mcp/) - [Read posts around a market topic](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/x-search/) ## Reference - [Read this guide on the website](https://taskfuel.ai/tools/polymarket-mcp/). - [Browse providers and capabilities](https://taskfuel.ai/catalog/). - [Pricing](https://taskfuel.ai/pricing/). - [Agent instructions](https://taskfuel.ai/llms.txt).
