Live football scores, match summaries, and fan clip links from Vublox. No API key required.
Live football scores, match summaries, and fan clip links from Vublox. No API key required. The sports mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 6 defined tools rather than through you.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI agents find football matches and players on Vublox — which matches are live or recent, what the score is, player profiles, and links to fan-shot video clips. Each result links to the match or profile page on Vublox.
The server ships on npm as npm, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
search_sports_events — Search matches by team, league, or keywordsearch_players — Search football players by name — returns profile linksget_live_matches — All currently live football matchesget_match_summary — Match info for a specific matchget_todays_goals — Recent match scores across leagues (last 48h)get_recent_matches — Recently finished matches (last 48h)You will need one environment variable: VUBLOX_API_BASE_URL. 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.
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. Sports's toolset — search_sports_events, search_players, get_live_matches and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Vublox; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
