MCP server for odds-api
MCP server for odds-api. The mcp mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 4 defined tools rather than through you.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonEverything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
get_events — - Get in-play and forthcoming events (matches)get_odds — - Get odds for all forthcoming events (matches) for selected betting marketsget_event_odds — - Get odds for a specific event (match) for selected betting marketsSetup — 2. Clone the Repository: bash git clone https://github.com/marcoeg/mcp-odds-api cd mcp-nvdYou will need 3 environment variables: ODDS_API_KEY, ODDS_API_REGIONS, ODDS_API_SPORT. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
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.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. MCP's toolset — get_events, get_odds, get_event_odds and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by marcoeg; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
