Provides a Go-based NHL API client, command-line interface, and Model Context Protocol server for accessing NHL data. Exposed over MCP by the nhl go mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
A client wrapper around the NHL web api, based on the reference spec defined here.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Installation — Add path to the nhl-mcp binary to your claude_desktop_config.json file:Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverCommands — Build the nhl and nhl-mcp binaries: bash go build -o nhl && cd ./mcp && go build -o ../nhl-mcp && cd ../Testing — The Testing tool exposed by this serverGo version >= 1.23
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @modelcontextprotocol/inspector on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. NHL Go's toolset — Installation, Prerequisites, Commands and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by carsonjones; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against NHL Go's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
