**Quick answer:** Gemini can read live Kalshi and Polymarket US prices once you connect the free PredictionMarketsPicks app. On the web, add a custom app in Gemini's settings, paste `https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcp?via=article-gemini`, then start your question with **@PredictionMarketsPicks** and name the tool. In Gemini CLI, it's one install command. No API key, no account.

## What Google launched

On Oct. 28, Google launched the preview of its [Connected Apps Platform](https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/developers-tools/connected-apps-one-place/), one place for developers to build apps for Search and the Gemini app. Developers connect a cloud-hosted MCP server (the Model Context Protocol, the open standard AI assistants use to call outside tools) and choose whether the app goes live in Search, the Gemini app or both. Google says it has launched more than 50 connected apps across the two, with partners like Adobe, Calm, Experian and Peloton, and it's opening developer access in phases.

The piece that matters for traders: these apps answer from live data at the moment you ask. Ask about the Fed, Sunday's game or tomorrow's high temperature, and the answer can come from the market itself instead of a week-old web page.

## Why prediction-market traders should care

Search results are snapshots. Market prices aren't. When you ask what Kalshi is pricing on a December rate decision, you want the number at the moment you ask, and where it came from.

That's what our MCP server does. It's the same PredictionMarketsPicks toolkit already running inside Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Cursor: 45 tools covering Kalshi and Polymarket US prices across sports, the Fed and economic data, weather, elections, crypto and commodities, plus calculators for implied probability, expected value and position sizing. From Oct. 1 to Oct. 30, outside assistants made 26,588 tool calls across 5,105 sessions, not counting our own monitoring.

## How to connect PredictionMarketsPicks to Gemini today

You don't have to wait for Google's store. Gemini already takes a custom app by URL.

**In Gemini on the web**

1. Open **Settings → Connected Apps**. Under **Custom apps**, choose **Add a custom app**. No Connected Apps menu? Google requires a personal Google account, age 18+, the US, English, and Keep Activity turned on.
2. Paste `https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcp?via=article-gemini` and click **Next**.
3. Read Google's notice, tick the box and click **Connect**. Gemini lists the PredictionMarketsPicks actions it can use.
4. **Ask by name.** Type **@** in a new chat, pick PredictionMarketsPicks, and name the tool in your question: *@PredictionMarketsPicks use fed_rate_odds: what are the odds for the next FOMC meeting?* In our Oct. 31 test, a plain question with the app added still answered from web search; naming the app and the tool made Gemini call it and return the live Kalshi numbers.

Building or testing? Gemini's [Developer Mode](https://gemini.google.com/devmode) connects the same URL under **Create new** and logs every tool call with its status and latency.

**In Gemini CLI**

```
gemini extensions install https://github.com/predictionmarketspicks/mcp
```

Run `gemini mcp list` and PredictionMarketsPicks should read Connected. Full setup, every prompt and the FAQ: [Gemini setup](https://predictionmarketspicks.com/mcp/gemini). Using another assistant? [Setup for every host](https://predictionmarketspicks.com/mcp/setup).
