Connect your AI apps to TradeLabs AI
Ask our AI about the live Polymarket Up or Down rounds from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the other apps you already work in. Send it chart pictures, pull live prices and candles. Included with Elite and Whale.
Your connection key
One key connects your apps to your account. It opens the tools on this page and nothing else: it cannot change your settings, pay for anything or place trades.
Add it to your app
Pick your app. Each setup already holds your key once it is made; press Copy and paste.
Run this once in your terminal. --scope user makes TradeLabs AI available in every project.
Then ask Claude something like "ask TradeLabs AI if BTC finishes this 5 minute round up or down". Type /mcp in Claude Code to see it connected.
Claude on the web, desktop or phone: open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Name it TradeLabs AI and paste this address, which has your key in it. Leave the advanced settings empty.
Claude Desktop with a config file instead: add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings, Developer, Edit config) and restart Claude. It needs Node.js installed.
In ChatGPT open Settings, then Apps and connectors. If there is no button to add one, turn on Developer mode under Advanced settings first. Create a connector named TradeLabs AI, paste this address and choose No authentication (the key is already in the address).
In a chat, turn the connector on from the tools menu, then ask away.
Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or the project's .cursor/mcp.json), or open Cursor Settings, MCP, Add new MCP server.
Add this to .vscode/mcp.json in your project (or run MCP: Add Server from the command palette), then use it from Copilot Chat in agent mode.
Add this to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then press refresh in Windsurf's MCP list.
Add this to ~/.gemini/settings.json, then type /mcp in Gemini CLI to see it.
Any app that speaks MCP over HTTP works. Give it the address and send your key as a header:
If the app only takes an address, use the one with your key in it. An app that only runs local servers can reach it through npx mcp-remote, as in the Claude app tab.
What your app can do
| Tool | What it does | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| ask_tradelabs_ai | Asks our AI, the same assistant as the chat on the chart. It reads the live Polymarket Up or Down round for the coin (price to beat, crowd odds, how the round has moved, the last rounds, live signals) and ends trading questions with a clear UP or DOWN read. Send a chart picture and it reads the picture. | Yes, like the chat |
| get_market | The live round for a coin: price to beat, live price, the gap, crowd odds for Up and Down, seconds left. | No |
| get_candles | Candles on the same price the chart shows, up to 500 at a time, any size from 1 minute to 1 week. | No |
| list_markets | Which coins and round lengths are live on Polymarket, Hyperliquid and PancakeSwap right now. | No |
| get_paper_account | Your paper trading: balance, P&L, win rate, open positions and latest settled trades. | No |
| get_leaderboard | The public paper trading leaderboard. | No |
Coins: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, BNB, HYPE and ZEC. Rounds: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours and 1 day.
Sending chart pictures
Most apps can hand a picture straight to ask_tradelabs_ai. For a big screenshot, upload the file first and pass the image_id it gives back, so the picture never has to travel through your app's own chat:
You get back {"ok": true, "image_id": "img_..."}. Then ask your app to "have TradeLabs AI read picture img_...". PNG, JPEG, WebP and GIF up to 4 MB; uploads are deleted after an hour.
Credits and limits
- Questions use your monthly AI credits exactly like the chat on the chart, so a connected app can never spend more than your plan has. Every answer ends with how many credits are left this month.
- Market data, candles, your paper account and the leaderboard cost no credits.
- One question at a time per account, and up to 90 tool calls a minute.
- Connections come with the Elite and Whale plans.
Keep your key safe
Treat the key like a password for these tools. Anyone who has it can ask questions on your credits and read your paper account. If it ends up somewhere it should not, press Replace key above: the old one stops working straight away. Remove key disconnects every app.
