# sportscore-mcp MCP server for [SportScore](https://sportscore.com/) — live scores, match details, standings, top scorers, brackets and player stats across **football**, **basketball**, **cricket** and **tennis**. Free public API, CORS-open, no API key. [](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/Backspace-me/sportscore-mcp) Works in any [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) host: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Zed, and custom MCP clients. ## What it gives your AI assistant - Live + recent matches by sport - Single match detail (score, status, timeline, lineups) - Team schedules - League / competition standings - Top scorers / top assisters - Player statistics and metadata - Knockout tournament brackets - Live match tracker data ## Install in Claude Desktop Add this to `claude_desktop_config.json`: **macOS** — `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` **Windows** — `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` ```json { "mcpServers": { "sportscore": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "sportscore-mcp"] } } } ``` Restart Claude Desktop. You should see the SportScore tools in the tools menu. Ask things like: - *"What Premier League matches are live right now?"* - *"Show me the NBA standings."* - *"Who are the top scorers in La Liga?"* - *"What's Barcelona's next fixture?"* ## Install in Cursor / Continue / Zed Any MCP host that accepts a stdio command works. The `npx -y sportscore-mcp` invocation is the same — consult your host's MCP docs for the exact config file. ## Configuration Environment variables (optional): | Variable | Default | Purpose | |---|---|---| | `SPORTSCORE_API_BASE` | `https://sportscore.com` | Override the API base URL (useful for staging / self-hosted) | | `SPORTSCORE_UA` | `sportscore-mcp/0.3 (+https://sportscore.com/developers/)` | Override the User-Agent string | | `SPORTSCORE_HTTP_PORT` | *(unset)* | If set, run as a Streamable HTTP server on this port instead of stdio | | `SPORTSCORE_HTTP_HOST` | `127.0.0.1` | Bind address when running in HTTP mode | | `SPORTSCORE_NO_TELEMETRY` | *(unset)* | Set to `1` to disable the opt-out install-ping (see below) | ### Anonymous install-ping (opt-out) On startup the server fires one fire-and-forget POST to `https://sportscore.com/api/mcp/ping/` with this payload: ```json { "client": "sportscore-mcp", "version": "0.3.0", "transport": "stdio", "host": "darwin", "node": "20.11.0" } ``` That's the whole payload — no user id, no IP, no cookies, no fingerprint. We use it to see rough weekly-active-installs and Node/OS spread so we know what to support. Opt out with `SPORTSCORE_NO_TELEMETRY=1`. ## Tools | Tool | Purpose | Required args | |---|---|---| | `get_matches` | Live + recent matches | `sport` | | `get_match_detail` | Single match by slug | `sport`, `slug` | | `get_team_schedule` | Team fixtures | `sport`, `slug` | | `get_standings` | League table | `sport`, `slug` | | `get_top_scorers` | Top scorers / assisters | `sport`, `slug` | | `get_player` | Player stats | `sport`, `slug` | | `get_bracket` | Knockout bracket | `sport`, `slug` | | `get_tracker` | Live tracker data | `sport`, `id` | Full parameter docs and response shapes: [sportscore.com/developers/](https://sportscore.com/developers/) · [OpenAPI 3.0 spec](https://sportscore.com/developers/openapi.yaml) ## Attribution This MCP server surfaces a `Powered by SportScore` attribution with every tool result. The free-tier API requires that attribution to remain visible in end-user-facing output — so please don't strip it from your prompts or post-processing. Commercial / white-label use that needs to remove the attribution: [api@sportscore.com](mailto:api@sportscore.com). Terms: [sportscore.com/developers/terms/](https://sportscore.com/developers/terms/). ## Rate limits Free tier: approximately 1000 requests / 24h / IP, with 60-second edge caching. Sensible for any MCP workflow — a user driving a chat session will not approach the limit. Bulk / production / higher-volume use: contact [api@sportscore.com](mailto:api@sportscore.com). ## License MIT — see [LICENSE](./LICENSE). ## Links - [SportScore](https://sportscore.com/) - [Developer portal + REST API docs](https://sportscore.com/developers/) - [OpenAPI 3.0 spec](https://sportscore.com/developers/openapi.yaml) - [API terms of use](https://sportscore.com/developers/terms/) - [Report an issue](https://github.com/Backspace-me/sportscore-mcp/issues)
