Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Actually every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add actually -- npx -y actually-mcp-server

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: POLYMARKET_PRIVATE_KEY (Optional. Your own Polygon EOA private key. Enables the trading tools (place_order, sell_order, cancel_order, get_open_orders, get_positions). Omit to run signal-only, which needs no key and no wallet), ACTUALLY_MAX_ORDER_USD (Optional. Per-order USD cap for the trading tools (default 100). Enforced server-side against the market's own price, so a caller cannot understate an order to slip past it), ACTUALLY_DAILY_LIMIT_USD (Optional. Rolling UTC-day USD cap shared by place_order and sell_order (default 500). Held in a persisted ledger, so it survives restarts), ACTUALLY_ENABLE_REDEEM (Optional. Set to exactly 'true' to additionally register redeem_position. A second opt-in beyond the private key, because it submits a real on-chain transaction through Polymarket's relayer and is still in testing), ACTUALLY_SEARCH_FALLBACK (Optional. Set to exactly 'true' to let check_news fall back to Polymarket's own market search when nothing in the cached set matches. Off by default: the query is built from the caller's text and leaves the machine), ACTUALLY_SPEND_STATE_PATH (Optional. Where the spend ledger is stored (default ~/.actually-mcp-server/spend-guard.json)), ACTUALLY_WORKER_URL (Optional. Only if you run your own Cloudflare Worker instead of the shared default), ACTUALLY_WORKER_SECRET (Optional. Shared secret for your own Worker. Not a private credential: the default one ships inside every client by design).

Actually — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Actually?
Actually runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package actually-mcp-server was installed 54 times last week.
How do I connect Actually?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls actually-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Actually?
The npm package actually-mcp-server was installed 54 times in the last week. Week over week that is +504%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Actually open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
