How do I connect Poll to my AI assistant?
Quick answer
Create an API token, add the MCP config to your AI client, and start asking about bets.
Connect an AI client only after deciding what it should be allowed to do.
- 1.Create a named API token in Settings > Developer. Grant the smallest set of scopes the client needs. Browsing does not require permission to place real-money wagers
- 2.Open the Claude Desktop setup guide or MCP reference and copy the configuration for your client. Put the token in the environment or secret field described by that client, not directly into a prompt or a shared repository
- 3.Restart or reconnect the client, then begin with a read-only request such as asking for public bets or your portfolio
Review every proposed action that could place a wager. The MCP server exposes Poll tools to the assistant, but the token scopes remain the security boundary. Revoke the token immediately in Settings if a device or configuration is no longer trusted
