Context CLI

\n

CLI for trading on Context Markets prediction markets. Works interactively or as JSON for AI agents.

\n\n

\n \"npm\"\n \"License:\n \"Discord\"\n

\n\n## Install\n\n```bash\nnpm install -g context-markets-cli\n```\n\nThis installs the `context` command globally.\n\nOr run without installing:\n\n```bash\nnpx context-markets-cli \n```\n\n## Getting Started\n\nThe fastest way to get set up:\n\n```bash\ncontext setup\n```\n\nThis walks you through:\n\n1. **Wallet** — generate a new wallet or import an existing private key\n2. **Save credentials** — persists to `~/.config/context/config.env` (chmod 600)\n3. **API key** — prompts for your Context API key (get one at [context.markets](https://context.markets))\n4. **Approve contracts** — checks ETH balance, approves on-chain (requires ETH on Base for gas)\n5. **Deposit USDC** — checks USDC balance, deposits into the exchange\n\nIf anything fails (no ETH, rate limit, etc.), you can re-run `context setup` — it detects your existing config and picks up where you left off.\n\n### Manual setup\n\nIf you prefer to configure manually:\n\n```bash\n# Option 1: Environment variables\nexport CONTEXT_API_KEY=\"your-api-key\"\nexport CONTEXT_PRIVATE_KEY=\"0x...\"\n\n# Option 2: Config file (created by `context setup`)\n# ~/.config/context/config.env\n```\n\nCredentials are loaded in order: CLI flags > env vars > config file.\n\nNeed an API key? Visit [context.markets](https://context.markets) or join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/RVmzZsAyM4).\n\n## Quick Start\n\n```bash\n# Browse markets\ncontext markets list --status active --limit 5\n\n# Search for a market\ncontext markets search \"march madness\"\n\n# Get a link to a market\ncontext markets link \n\n# View the orderbook\ncontext markets orderbook \n\n# Place a limit order\ncontext orders create --market --outcome yes --side buy --price 45 --size 10\n\n# Check your portfolio\ncontext portfolio overview\n\n# Interactive shell\ncontext shell\n```\n\n## Agent Workflow\n\nThe CLI supports a fully non-interactive JSON mode for AI agents:\n\n```bash\n# 1. Generate wallet and save to config\ncontext setup --output json --save\n# → { \"status\": \"new_wallet\", \"address\": \"0x...\", \"privateKey\": \"0x...\", \"configPath\": \"...\" }\n\n# 2. Approve contracts (after funding wallet with ETH on Base)\ncontext approve --output json\n# → { \"status\": \"approved\", \"usdcApprovalTx\": \"0x...\", \"operatorApprovalTx\": \"0x...\" }\n\n# 3. Deposit USDC\ncontext deposit 100 --output json\n# → { \"status\": \"deposited\", \"amount_usdc\": 100, \"tx_hash\": \"0x...\" }\n\n# 4. Trade\ncontext orders create --market --outcome yes --side buy --price 45 --size 10 --output json\n```\n\nAll commands accept `--output json` for structured output. When piped (non-TTY), JSON is the default.\n\n## Commands\n\n**Markets** — `markets list` · `markets search` · `markets get` · `markets link` · `markets quotes` · `markets orderbook` · `markets simulate` · `markets price-history` · `markets oracle` · `markets oracle-quotes` · `markets request-oracle-quote` · `markets activity` · `markets global-activity` · `markets create`\n\n**Orders** — `orders list` · `orders mine` · `orders get` · `orders recent` · `orders simulate` · `orders create` · `orders market` · `orders cancel` · `orders cancel-replace` · `orders bulk-create` · `orders bulk-cancel` · `orders bulk`\n\n**Portfolio** — `portfolio overview` · `portfolio get` · `portfolio claimable` · `portfolio stats` · `portfolio balance` · `portfolio token-balance`\n\n**Account** — `account status` · `account setup` · `account deposit` · `account withdraw` · `account mint-test-usdc` · `account mint-complete-sets` · `account burn-complete-sets` · `account gasless-approve` · `account gasless-deposit`\n\n**Questions** — `questions submit` · `questions status` · `questions submit-and-wait` · `questions agent-submit` · `questions agent-submit-and-wait`\n\n**Other** — `setup` · `approve` · `deposit` · `guides` · `ecosystem` · `shell`\n\nRun `context help` or `context --help` for details on any command.\n\n## Key Concepts\n\n- **Prices** are in cents (1–99). A price of 65 means $0.65 per share.\n- **Outcomes** are `yes` or `no`. Each market is a binary question.\n- **Output** auto-detects: tables in a terminal, JSON when piped. Override with `--output json` or `--output table`.\n- **Read-only commands** only need `CONTEXT_API_KEY`. **Trading commands** also need `CONTEXT_PRIVATE_KEY`.\n- **Interactive shell** (`context shell`) supports `#N` row references, `next`/`back` pagination, and all commands.\n\n## Guides\n\nBuilt-in guides are available in the CLI:\n\n```bash\ncontext guides # List available guides\ncontext guides trading # View the trading guide\n```\n\n## Documentation\n\n- **[Command Reference](https://docs.context.markets/agents/cli/commands)** — full list of commands with flags and response shapes\n- **[CLI Guide](https://docs.context.markets/agents/cli)** — setup, authentication, and workflows\n- **[Agent Workflows](https://docs.context.markets/agents/cli/workflows)** — common patterns for AI agent integration\n\n## Ecosystem\n\n| Package | Description |\n|---------|-------------|\n| **[context-markets](https://github.com/contextwtf/context-sdk)** | TypeScript SDK for trading |\n| **[context-markets-react](https://github.com/contextwtf/context-react)** | React hooks for market data and trading |\n| **[context-markets-mcp](https://github.com/contextwtf/context-mcp)** | MCP server for AI agents |\n| **[context-markets-cli](https://github.com/contextwtf/context-cli)** | CLI for trading from the terminal |\n| **[context-skills](https://github.com/contextwtf/context-skills)** | AI agent skill files |\n| **[context-plugin](https://github.com/contextwtf/context-plugin)** | Claude Code plugin |\n\n## License\n\nMIT — see [LICENSE](./LICENSE) for details.\n"}
