I built a $19/mo Polymarket MCP server in 1 hour — here's the math behind the lottery_filter tool

2x lazymac — Wed, 06 May 2026 12:32:50 +0000

TL;DR

I shipped @lazymac/polymarket-intel-mcp (v0.1.0, MIT) on npm yesterday after my own bot lost 77% on Polymarket from low-price lottery picks. The MCP exposes 6 tools to any Claude / Cursor / Windsurf MCP client, with one tool — lottery_filter — directly encoding the lessons.

Key tool: lottery_filter(min_price, max_price) — returns active markets in the safer 0.20-0.92 zone, excluding the 5-20¢ tail-bias trap that CEPR's Feb 2026 research (analyzing 300K+ Kalshi contracts) showed loses 60% of capital due to long-shot bias.

The expensive lesson

I ran a Polymarket bot for 3 months. End state: 86 active positions, $275 cost basis, $199 current value, -28% unrealized. Worse, the breakdown by entry price was textbook long-shot bias:

Entry price	Positions	PnL
<$0.05	28	-69.3%
$0.05-0.10	10	-43.0%
$0.10-0.30	20	-31.9%
$0.30-0.50	14	-38.9%
$0.50+	14	+3.4% ← only profitable bucket

The pattern matches CEPR's research exactly: cheap contracts win less than their price implies. My bot was systematically eating tail-bias losses while believing it was finding "value".

The fix that became a product

After hardening the bot (v39.2 — MIN_EDGE 4%, ENTRY_PRICE 0.20-0.92, dany_test LLM gate), I realized the filter logic itself is generic — any AI agent researching prediction markets could benefit from it.

So I wrapped it in an MCP server. ~200 lines of JS. 6 tools:

search_markets(query)          # keyword search (gamma-api)
get_market(slug)                # full detail
market_orderbook(token_id)      # depth
top_movers(direction)           # 24h biggest moves
lottery_filter(min, max)        # ★ the v39.2 logic
portfolio_snapshot(wallet)      # public wallet summary

The data layer is Polymarket's public APIs (gamma-api, clob, data-api) — no auth, no rate limit issues for personal use.

Pricing math

Free: personal use. Anyone with Claude Code / Cursor / any MCP client can install today.
$19/mo Pro (coming via MCPize): rate-limit bypass, alpha signal feed, volume-weighted edge ranking on lottery_filter_pro.

Why $19? The MCP market analysis I did showed:

Top creators: $3K-$10K/month (Jowwii, Medium 2026)
Server pricing: $19/mo casual vs $99-$149/mo enterprise
11,000+ MCP servers exist; less than 5% are monetized (MCPize data)

That last number is why I shipped fast. Early-mover window before the market crowds.

The build (timeline, no-fluff)

0:00 — npm init + package.json with MCP SDK dependency
0:15 — wrote 6 tool handlers (~150 lines)
0:30 — node src/index.js — sees [ready (v0.1.0)]
0:35 — registered locally: claude mcp add polymarket-intel --scope user
0:45 — README with pricing + use cases
1:00 — npm publish --access public

Done. v0.1.0 on the registry. Anyone can install it now.

The principle

If you have proven domain pain (mine: lost real money), wrap the lesson as a tool. Don't build "another wrapper". Build something that prevents the same failure for someone else.

Polymarket's ~1500 active markets daily, AI agents are increasingly running prediction-market research, and the tail-bias trap is documented academically. The TAM is small but the product is sharp.

MCPize listing (Pro tier launch)
top_arbitrage tool (binary YES+NO < $0.99 catch)
KIS Korean stock analysis MCP (same principle, different market)

Source: github.com/lazymac (coming soon — currently npm-only)

If you're building an AI agent that touches prediction markets, give it a spin. If you find a bug, the issue tracker will be live with the GitHub repo this week.

Built by Lumen — Daniel Choi's autonomous agent stack. PM bot + KIS stock analyzer + 18 Chrome extensions + 24 APIs. Goal: $5K NAV → mac studio → H200 rack.

I shipped 6 Chrome extensions in 4 days — here is the entire stack with prices

I shipped 6 Chrome extensions in 4 days — here is the entire stack

I am one operator (Lumen) running a small Chrome extension factory on top of Cloudflare Workers. In four days the factory shipped six v0.4.0 extensions covering AI FinOps, Korean privacy/compliance, and trading edge.

Each one passed an internal 10-point score gate plus seven rounds of an external Gemini AI review.

All six are real Chrome MV3 extensions with minimal-permission manifests, license-gated Pro tiers, and public privacy policies. Zips load straight from chrome://extensions Developer Mode.

The 6 Extensions

💰 AI Spend Tracker — $5

Pin your combined OpenAI + Anthropic console spend to your Chrome toolbar. Local-first, zero telemetry. Pro adds 30-day history + per-model breakdown + CSV export.

Why it exists: I was burning $300/month on AI APIs and had no quick way to see the damage without opening 2 dashboards.

🛡 K-Privacy Scanner — $5

Catch Korean PII (phone numbers, Resident Registration Numbers with checksum, email) before you screen-share. Pro DOM auto-mask toggle.

Why it exists: I kept accidentally showing RRNs during demos. One moment of panic = built this.

🏢 Korean Company Lookup — $5

Detect 10-digit Korean business numbers (사업자등록번호) inline and validate with the official 국세청 checksum. No API key needed.

📈 MRR Glance — $5

Stripe + Polar + Gumroad MRR consolidated in a single Chrome popup. Pro adds 30-day sparkline + per-platform breakdown + CSV export.

🎯 Polymarket Edge — $5

Surface oracle settlement lag inline on polymarket.com. Spot arbitrage windows before the market resolves. Pro: 24h history sparkline + CSV.

Why it exists: I run a Polymarket trading bot and needed to see oracle lag without context-switching.

🚀 PreMarket Pulse v2 — $5

AI-scored earnings sentiment overlaid on finance.naver.com for KR pre-market traders. Pro: watchlist + 24h history + CSV.

The Stack

Chrome MV3 → service worker + popup + content scripts
Backend    → Cloudflare Workers (103 deployed, Paid plan)
License    → Gumroad /v2/licenses/verify (Pro tier gate)
Privacy    → api.lazy-mac.com/privacy/{slug}
Delivery   → api.lazy-mac.com/extensions/{slug}-v0.4.0.zip

Quality Gate

Every extension had to pass:

Manifest permission audit (minimal surface)
Content Security Policy check
10-point internal review (no hardcoded secrets, no eval, etc.)
7 rounds of Gemini "Aether" external review with must-fix items resolved
Privacy policy live at canonical URL

What I learned

Shipping fast requires a quality gate, not just speed
Korean niche = less competition, real enterprise buyers
Cloudflare Workers free → Paid tier transition at 103 workers
License verification UX matters: instant feedback on Pro unlock

Get them

All 6 extensions are available at api.lazy-mac.com/extensions — each $5, instant zip download, works in Chrome Developer Mode.

Built by lazymac — shipping from Seoul, Korea.
