Is there an MCP server for NFL prediction markets?
Yes. The PredictionMarketsPicks MCP server exposes its NFL model and the live Kalshi NFL board as tools any MCP client can call — Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Cursor or Copilot. In season the NFL tools are nfl_prop_board (every Kalshi prop strike this week priced venue by venue), nfl_ladder (every spread, win-total and prop ladder against the model's whole distribution), combo_edge (a correlation-aware same-game combo), nfl_power_ratings, nfl_win_probability, and the Pro pair nfl_edge and nfl_prop_edge. Endpoint: https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcp (Streamable HTTP).
Can Claude or ChatGPT get Kalshi NFL prop prices?
Once the server is connected, yes. Ask "where is the best price on Puka Nacua receiving yards" and the agent calls nfl_prop_board, which returns every Kalshi strike with a real two-sided book, the book consensus at that strike, the DraftKings, FanDuel and BetRivers lines, the Novig and ProphetX quotes, and where the best price for each side is — cents per dollar of payout, Kalshi net of fee. Every row carries the Kalshi market link and the matching page on this site. No API key is needed.
Which of the NFL tools are free?
10 tools answer with no key and no account right now: calculate_ev, kelly_size, bayes_update, convert_probability, base_rate_gap, combo_edge, nfl_power_ratings, nfl_win_probability, nfl_ladder, nfl_prop_board. nfl_edge and nfl_prop_edge are Pro tools — the wall they return is a 200 with the live count and largest edge in it, never a bare refusal. Pro is $11.09 for the first month with code NFL26, then $14.99/mo.
What happened to the fantasy draft tools?
They are parked for the season. From September 10, 2026 the 8 draft tools (draft_board, best_available, player_outlook, explain_player, compare_players, sleepers_and_busts, adp_market_gaps, who_do_i_draft) answer with a redirect to the in-season tools rather than a board — the connector stays connected and nothing needs reinstalling. They come back for the 2027 offseason at predictionmarketspicks.com/draft. Fantasy football was the bridge; pricing the real season against Kalshi is the product.
What does SHAPE vs LOCATION mean on the Ladder?
A Kalshi spread, win total or player prop trades as a ladder of strikes. nfl_ladder puts the Kalshi price at every strike beside our full probability distribution and names the disagreement: SHAPE means the gap changes sign across the ladder — we disagree about the tail, not the middle; LOCATION means every rung leans the same way — we think the median sits somewhere else; PRICED means the gap is under 5pp everywhere. Our number is published only between 30% and 70%, where it is measured to be calibrated; outside that band the tool returns the market only.
Does combo_edge account for correlation between legs?
Yes — that is the point of it. Multiplying two leg prices assumes the legs are independent, and a quarterback's passing-yards prop is not independent of his team's moneyline. Pass an NFL game and combo_edge lists that game's real Kalshi legs; pass the leg ids and it computes the correlation-aware joint probability from the scoreline model, returns the fair-odds band, flags a negative-correlation trap, and grades the price you were quoted on a 7-tier scale from SMASH to RUN. Props are priced conditional on the game script — pace from the total, flow from the margin — inside the same model as the game legs.
How do I connect it?
Add https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcp as a remote MCP server. In Claude Desktop or Claude.ai it is a custom connector; in ChatGPT it is under connectors / developer mode; in Grok it is grok.com/connectors → New Connector → Custom; from Claude Code run claude mcp add --transport http predictionmarketspicks https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcp. Note the /mcp twice — the base path /api/mcp on its own will not connect. No key is needed for the free tools; Pro tools take a PredictionMarketsPicks API key as an Authorization: Bearer header.
Is Kalshi a sportsbook?
No. Kalshi is a CFTC-regulated event-contract exchange — a prediction market where every NFL contract is a YES/NO position that settles at $1 or $0. The tools treat each one as a probability problem: our number against the market price, the edge in percentage points, and the position size that edge supports. Every signal our engines publish is settled against the market that priced it and graded in public at predictionmarketspicks.com/track-record, losses included. Educational analysis, not financial advice.
