How it works

From scrolling markets to placing the trade — in one thread.

01

Hours of research, done in seconds

Your AI pulls live prices, order books, candlesticks, and event forecasts across hundreds of markets — and surfaces the few worth your attention, so you stop scrolling and start deciding.

02

From idea to order, in plain English

Ask a question, review what the AI proposes, and approve. Trades place, modify, and cancel in your own Kalshi account — no dashboards to wrestle with, no new app to learn.

03

Reads the fine print before you trade

Settlement terms, payout criteria, and the edge cases — surfaced before you commit. A market's close time isn't always its payout criterion, and your AI lays out the published rules so the fine print never surprises you.

Tax season — export your realized gains as a CSV, included on Pro and Max. Kalshi doesn’t issue a 1099-B for your event-contract trades, so keeping your own records is on you.* *Not tax advice.

Setup

Connect your AI in seconds.

Point Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client at your Kalshi MCP connection, sign in, and add your Kalshi keys. From there, just ask — your AI researches the markets and proposes the trades you approve.
