MCP Server for Prediction Market Data

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard for connecting AI assistants to external data sources. Instead of requiring developers to build custom integrations, MCP servers expose tools that LLMs can call directly during a conversation.

The Meridian Edge MCP server wraps our consensus API into a set of named tools — enabling any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) to query prediction market data in natural language.

Available tools

• get_consensus — fetch current consensus for a sport or event
• get_opportunities — surface high-divergence events (Starter+)
• get_account — check your API key usage and remaining calls

Setup: Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{{
  "mcpServers": {{
    "meridian-edge": {{
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@meridianedge/mcp-server"],
      "env": {{
        "MERIDIAN_API_KEY": "me_live_your_key_here"
      }}
    }}
  }}
}}

Example prompts

Once configured, ask Claude:

• "What's the current prediction market consensus for tonight's NBA games?"
• "Are there any high-divergence sports events right now?"
• "How many API calls have I used today?"
• "What's the consensus probability on the NBA Finals?"

The MCP server uses the same API key as direct REST access. Get an API key (100 calls/day) at meridianedge.iothe pricing page.
