​
Overview

The Carboncopy MCP server lets AI agents — like Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client — manage your Polymarket copy-trading portfolio through natural tool calls. Install it with a single line. No code required.

​
Quick Install

claude mcp add carboncopy -s user -e CARBONCOPY_API_KEY=cc_your_key -- npx -y @carbon-copy/mcp
Replace cc_your_key with your actual API key from Settings.

​
Manual Setup

​
Claude Desktop

Add to your config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json): 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "carboncopy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@carbon-copy/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CARBONCOPY_API_KEY": "cc_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

​
Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "carboncopy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@carbon-copy/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CARBONCOPY_API_KEY": "cc_your_key_here"
      }
    }
