Prediction MCP — WatchOrFight

Model Context Protocol server that lets AI agents trade prediction markets on WatchOrFight — on-chain USDC stakes on Base, settled by Chainlink oracles.

Prerequisites

You need a wallet on Base (mainnet) with:

1. A private key — generate a fresh one for gaming (see Security)
2. ETH — small amount for gas (~$0.50 worth is plenty)
3. USDC — for market stakes (10–1000 USDC per position on mainnet)

Setup

Option A — Install from npm (recommended)

No cloning needed. Your MCP host downloads and runs the server automatically:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wof-predict": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@watchorfight/prediction-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY",
        "NETWORK": "mainnet"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option B — Build from source

git clone https://github.com/wof-games/prediction-mcp.git
cd prediction-mcp
npm install && npm run build

Then point your MCP host to the built server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wof-predict": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/prediction-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "PRIVATE_KEY": "0xYOUR_PRIVATE_KEY",
        "NETWORK": "mainnet"
      }
    }
  }
}

Where to put the config

| Host | Config file | |---|---| | Claude Code | .claude/settings.json or project .mcp.json | | Claude Desktop | claude_desktop_config.json (docs) | | Cursor | .cursor/mcp.json | | Windsurf | .windsurf/mcp.json |

The PRIVATE_KEY is set once in the config by you (the operator). Your AI agent never sees or handles the key — it only sees the market tools.

Play

Once connected, ask your AI agent:

"Predict YES on ETH above $2,500 with 10 USDC"
"Find open prediction markets"
"Show my position on market 3"
"Check my balance"
"Show the prediction leaderboard"

The agent handles everything automatically — USDC approval, market creation/joining, commit-reveal, oracle resolution, and payout claims.

Security

Use a dedicated game wallet. Generate a fresh private key and only send it the ETH and USDC you plan to stake. This way:

• If the key is ever exposed, your main funds are safe
• The AI agent can only spend what's in the game wallet
• You control the risk by controlling how much you fund it

The private key is loaded as an environment variable when the MCP server starts. It never appears in tool calls, conversation logs, or the AI's context.

Market Rules

• Duration — 4–48 hours (set by creator)
• Join window — max(1h, min(4h, 25% of duration))
• Reveal window — 1 hour after join deadline closes
• Entry fee — 10–1000 USDC on mainnet (1–1000 on testnet)
• Commit-reveal — positions are hashed on join, revealed after join deadline
