FirstCycling MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides professional cycling data from FirstCycling. It allows you to retrieve information about professional cyclists, race results, and more. Exposed over MCP by the firstcycling mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

• Finding information about professional cyclists
• Retrieving race results and details
• Exploring historical race data
• Analyzing rider performance and career progression
• Accessing information about cycling teams and competitions

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• search_rider — Search for riders by name, returning their IDs and basic information
• search_race — Search for races by name, returning their IDs and basic information

Configuration

• Python 3.10 or higher - uv package manager (recommended) - Dependencies as listed in pyproject.toml, including: - mcp - beautifulsoup4 - lxml - pandas - slumber - and other packages for web scraping and data processing

Adding it to your client

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

When to reach for it

This sits in the team communication group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. FirstCycling's toolset — search_rider, search_race — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by r-huijts; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Caveats

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the firstcycling mcp server does with a few real requests.
