### Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config file:

**macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`\
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yesno": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://yesno.events/mcp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
```

If authentication is enabled on the server, add your token:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yesno": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://yesno.events/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP settings (`.cursor/mcp.json` in your project or global config):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yesno": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://yesno.events/mcp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Claude Code (CLI)

Add via the CLI:

```bash
claude mcp add yesno -- npx -y mcp-remote https://yesno.events/mcp
```

Or add to your project's `.mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yesno": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://yesno.events/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Programmatic Access (curl)

You can also call the MCP endpoint directly:

```bash
# List available tools
curl -X POST https://yesno.events/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"method": "tools/list"}'

# Call a tool
curl -X POST https://yesno.events/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_markets",
      "arguments": {"sector": "politics", "limit": 5}
    }
  }'
```

For authenticated tools, add the header:

```bash
-H "Authorization: Bearer your-token-here"
```

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Verifying the Connection

After setup, ask your AI assistant:

> "What are the top prediction markets right now?"

If it responds with live market data, the connection works. If it says it doesn't have access to prediction market tools, check your config file path and restart the application.

### Authentication

Some tools require authentication (analysis, signals, news). These are marked as `(auth)` in the [Tools](broken://pages/3f77dda8f15c30fd3ae0f0ea1f66dbbe8d06ee67) reference. If no `MCP_TOKEN` is configured on the server, all tools are open.
