Install the server and use its documented read-only market discovery, analysis and monitoring functions without a wallet.
Before you start
- Python 3.10 or newer
- macOS, Linux or Windows installation path supported by the repository

Steps
Run the repository quick-start process or use the documented demo installation option.
Allow the installer to check Python, create a virtual environment and install dependencies.
Configure the MCP client integration created by the installer.
Use demo mode for market discovery, analysis, AI insights and price monitoring.
Expected outcome
A wallet-free, read-only setup for exploring Polymarket markets and monitoring price information.
