Key takeaways

The short version.

  • PoliticalPredictions.APP reads public political posts on X and matches them to public Polymarket and Kalshi markets, with the post, the contract, its price and an as-of time.
  • Perplexity answers with citations, which suits the second step: checking what was reported about the subject of a post, with pages you can open.
  • Perplexity's help center describes custom remote connectors that take an HTTPS address. The app's site says its address, https://politicalpredictions.app/mcp, needs no key and no sign-in, and Perplexity lists None as an authentication option.
  • The help page does not say which plans include custom connectors, and organization members need an admin to allow them, so check your own account.
  • Both tools only report and explain. Neither gives investment advice, places a bet or makes a trade, and neither takes a side on the politics.

It is for people who follow Polymarket or Kalshi markets and want to see what is actually behind a political post: reporters, students of politics, researchers and curious readers across the political spectrum.

PoliticalPredictions.APP reads public posts on X, mainly from @realDonaldTrump and @WhiteHouse plus a short list of mapped political accounts, and tells your AI assistant which public prediction markets could be affected. Perplexity is an AI answer engine that cites the pages it read.

The app finds the post and the matched markets. Perplexity helps you look for reporting and documents about the same subject. This is not an official integration, and AgentStructure has no partnership with Perplexity.

Use cases

5 ways people use PoliticalPredictions.APP + Perplexity.

  1. Post and markets

    1. Read the post and its matched markets first

    Start with the app. Ask about a recent post and it returns the post with a link back to it, plus the public contracts on Polymarket and Kalshi that are about the same topic, each with a price and an as-of time.

    That gives you a fixed starting point: what was said, and which markets it touches. Everything that follows in Perplexity is a way to check and add context, not a replacement for the original post.

  2. News check

    2. Check the news behind the post

    A post often refers to an event, a decision or a document. Ask Perplexity what news outlets and official pages have reported about that subject, and to show the source for each point.

    Because it cites its sources, you can open each one and see whether it supports the claim or only repeats a headline. Treat the results as leads to read, and compare dates, since an older story may not be about the same event.

  3. Primary source

    3. Find the primary document

    If a post mentions an order, a bill, a court filing or an agency notice, ask Perplexity to find the official text and link it. Reading the document itself is often clearer than any summary of it.

    If it cannot find one, that is worth knowing too. A missing document is a reason to be careful with the claim, not a reason to fill the gap.

  4. Coverage

    4. Compare coverage across outlets

    Ask Perplexity how several outlets described the same development, and where they differ in facts rather than tone. Having the links side by side makes the differences easy to spot.

    The aim is a fuller picture of what happened, not a verdict. The app does not rank outlets, and it does not decide who is right on a political question.

  5. Why matched

    5. Understand why a market is on the list

    Matching is conservative: a named topic has to appear in both the post and the contract, so a loosely related post can return no match, and the app says so instead of stretching.

    When a market is matched, ask Perplexity for background on the topic the two share, with sources. A match says a market is about the same subject. It does not say what the market will do.

How to

How do I connect PoliticalPredictions.APP to Perplexity?

  1. Step 1

    Copy the app's remote MCP address from [politicalpredictions.app](https://politicalpredictions.app): https://politicalpredictions.app/mcp. The site says it needs no API key and no OAuth.

  2. Step 2

    In Perplexity, open Plugins, or Customize and then Connectors. Per its [help center](https://www.perplexity.ai/help-center/en/articles/13915507-adding-custom-remote-connectors), choose Add custom, then Connector, then Add MCP connector, and select Remote.

  3. Step 3

    Enter a name and the address, which must use HTTPS. For authentication, the help page lists None, API Key and OAuth 2.0; since the app asks for no key, None is the option to try. Tick the acknowledgement box and click Add.

  4. Step 4

    Click the connector card to enable it, then ask about a recent post and its matched markets. Open the sources before you rely on any answer.

Perplexity's help page does not say which plans can add custom connectors. Organization members need an admin to allow it, and the page warns that Perplexity cannot verify third-party servers. If you cannot add it, the app's free daily email still works, and you can paste its links into Perplexity. PoliticalPredictions.APP is not listed in Perplexity's directory or built into it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is PoliticalPredictions.APP an official Perplexity integration?

No. There is no partnership, listing or built-in integration. Perplexity describes custom remote connectors, and you add the app's address yourself if your account allows it.

Is this investment advice?

No. The app is informational only. It is not a sportsbook, pollster, broker or investment adviser, and it never places bets or touches your wallet. Perplexity does not trade either.

Does Perplexity decide what the news means for a market?

No. It finds pages and cites them. The app says which markets are about the same topic. What a market will do is not something either tool reports, so be careful with any claim that sounds like a prediction.

Does it read my X feed or my accounts?

No. The app reads public posts only and does not read your X feed, your follows, or your Polymarket, Kalshi or brokerage accounts.

What does it cost?

Asking about any post, event or market is free, including the connector, and the free daily email needs only an email address. Premium features are described as coming soon, and nothing is charged today.
