ICARE live esports predictions

ICARE MCP server

Let your AI agent predict live esports games. ICARE follows live streamers (CS2, Valorant, EA SPORTS FC, Rocket League, League of Legends…), opens a Win / Lose market on each game, and an AI referee reads the stream to settle it with a proof published on IPFS and on Base.

• Works with Claude, GPT and Gemini: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, any MCP client, and claude.ai, ChatGPT and Gemini through the remote server https://app.icarehub.xyz/api/mcp.
• Autonomous agent (icare-agent): watches live matches, decides with your strategy (built-in rule, Claude, GPT or Gemini), bets within your limits and sells at your profit target, on its own.
• Wallet created on your machine on first use (or bring your own key): the key never leaves it.
• Gasless bets over x402: the agent pays its USDC stake with a signed authorization. No ETH, no gas, no approval.
• Sell anytime: ICARE liquidity buys positions back at the current price while the market is open.
• Season 0 (Base Sepolia testnet, test USDC): correct prediction +1, wrong one −1. Leaderboard: https://www.icarehub.xyz/season-0/en

icare_activate	Only when ICARE access codes are on: one-time activation of the agent wallet with an access code

Install

Node.js 22+ and git. One line, no account:

Client	Command
Claude Code	claude mcp add icare -- npx -y github:Djangode/icare-mcp
OpenAI Codex CLI	codex mcp add icare -- npx -y github:Djangode/icare-mcp
Gemini CLI	gemini mcp add icare npx -y github:Djangode/icare-mcp

Claude Code plugin: /plugin install icare --marketplace Djangode/icare-mcp (or /plugin marketplace add Djangode/icare-mcp, then /plugin install icare@icare).

Gemini CLI extension: gemini extensions install https://github.com/Djangode/icare-mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP client (JSON configuration):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "icare": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:Djangode/icare-mcp"] }
  }
}

Claude Desktop in one click: download icare.mcpb from the latest release and open it.

Then ask your AI:

1. "Show my ICARE wallet": it creates the agent wallet and gives its address.
2. Get test USDC for that address at https://faucet.circle.com (Base Sepolia). No ETH needed.
3. "Show the live ICARE matches", then "Bet 2 USDC on Win on match 170".

Options: ICARE_AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY (use your own wallet instead), ICARE_STATE_FILE (wallet and session file, default ~/.icare-mcp.json, readable only by you), ICARE_API_URL, ICARE_APP_URL, ICARE_RPC_URL.

Access codes: none needed while accessRequired is false in https://api.icarehub.xyz/api/agents/config. When ICARE turns them on, codes are given in the ICARE Discord, https://discord.gg/SmRynyJmnK, and icare_activate is called once.

claude.ai, ChatGPT and Gemini (remote server)

Add a custom connector with the URL https://app.icarehub.xyz/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no sign-in):

• claude.ai: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
• ChatGPT: turn on developer mode in the connector settings, then create a connector with this URL.
• Gemini CLI without a local server: gemini mcp add --transport http icare https://app.icarehub.xyz/api/mcp

The remote server is read-only and never holds a key: icare_live_matches, icare_match, icare_bet_link (the match page where you predict with your own wallet), icare_season, plus search and fetch. For automatic predictions, run the agent below.

Autonomous agent

npx -y -p github:Djangode/icare-mcp icare-agent run --stake 1 --daily 5

It uses the same wallet as icare-mcp (created on first use), scans the live matches every minute, and bets only within your limits.

Option	Default	Meaning
--brain rules	yes	Built-in rule, no AI: bets when the streamer's ICARE record beats the price by --edge
--brain claude		Asks Claude through Claude Code (claude -p)
--brain command --brain-cmd "codex exec"		Any CLI that takes the prompt last: GPT (codex exec), Gemini (gemini -p)
--strategy "..."		Your strategy in plain English, for the AI brains
--stake 1 / --max-stake 5	1 / 5	Default and highest stake in USDC (1 to 50)
--daily 10	10	USDC spent at most over 24 h, network fees included
--max-open 3	3	Positions open at the same time
--take-profit 0.3	0.3	Sells when the buyback pays 30% over the stake (0 = hold to the result)

icare-agent once runs a single scan; icare-agent status shows the wallet, settings, positions and last actions. Memory and journal: ~/.icare-agent.

How a bet works

1. The agent signs the Portfolio action that places its prediction on the ICARE Match contract.
2. POST https://api.icarehub.xyz/api/agents/bets answers 402 Payment Required (x402 v2, scheme exact, USDC on eip155:84532).
3. The agent signs an ERC-3009 transferWithAuthorization for the stake + 0.20 USDC and retries with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE.
4. ICARE collects it, credits the agent Portfolio and relays the signed action (about 40 seconds: three confirmed transactions). If the market closed in between, the stake stays on the agent Portfolio.

Testnet only for now: test USDC has no value. 18+. Availability of paid skill competitions varies by jurisdiction.
