@quantish/kalshi-server

⚠️ Notice: Quantish is winding down. The Quantish platform (quantish.live) is shutting down. This MCP server is self-hosted and will continue to work independently, but the Quantish team will no longer be maintaining or updating this project. If you're building in the prediction market space and need real-time data infrastructure, check out polynode.dev.

Self-hosted Kalshi MCP server for trading on Kalshi markets via DFlow on Solana.

Overview

This package provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI agents to trade on Kalshi prediction markets through the DFlow protocol on Solana.

Features

• Full Kalshi Trading - Buy/sell on any Kalshi market
• Solana Wallet Management - Generate and manage Solana wallets
• DFlow Integration - Trade via DFlow's Solana infrastructure
• Jupiter Swaps - Swap SOL/USDC via Jupiter Aggregator
• MCP Compatible - Works with Claude, Quantish Agent, and any MCP client
• Self-Hostable - Run on Railway, Fly.io, or any Node.js host

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/joinQuantish/kalshi-mcp
cd kalshi-mcp
npm install

Environment Variables

DATABASE_URL	Yes	PostgreSQL connection string
ENCRYPTION_KEY	Yes	64-character hex string for wallet encryption
DFLOW_API_KEY	No	DFlow API key (optional, for authenticated endpoints)
JUPITER_API_KEY	No	Jupiter API key from portal.jup.ag for swap tools
SOLANA_RPC_URL	No	Solana RPC endpoint (defaults to mainnet)

Using Quantish's public servers? Quantish's public servers are no longer available as the platform is winding down. You must self-host this MCP server to use it. Follow the setup instructions above to run your own instance.

Generate Encryption Key

node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))"

Database Setup

Any PostgreSQL database works. Options:

Provider	Notes
Railway	Add PostgreSQL service, copy DATABASE_URL from variables
Supabase	Free tier at supabase.com, copy connection string from Settings > Database
Neon	Serverless Postgres at neon.tech, free tier available
Local Docker	docker run -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass -p 5432:5432 postgres

Set your DATABASE_URL then run:

# Generate Prisma client
npm run db:generate

# Create tables
npm run db:push
