29 sports API providers, 319 tools. Scores, stats, odds, esports, and more.
Sports MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Sports directly instead of describing what you should do. 29 sports API providers, 319 tools. Scores, stats, odds, esports, and more.
A unified MCP server that aggregates 41 sports API providers into a single service. 396 tools covering scores, stats, odds, esports, college sports, chess, motorsport, boxing, AFL, and more across 70+ sports.
Once Sports is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Prefix — Providerespn_ — ESPNnhl_ — NHL Web APImlb_ — MLB Stats APIf1_ — Jolpica F1openf1_ — OpenF1openliga_ — OpenLigaDBsportsdb_ — TheSportsDBncaa_ — NCAA APIsportsrc_ — SportSRClichess_ — Lichesschesscom_ — Chess.comYou will need 8 environment variables: PANDASCORE_TOKEN, API_SPORTS_KEY, THE_ODDS_API_KEY, SPORTS_HUB_PROVIDERS, THESPORTSDB_API_KEY, API_FOOTBALL_KEY, API_TENNIS_KEY, BALLDONTLIE_API_KEY. 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.
Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
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. Sports's toolset — Prefix, espn_, nhl_ and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by lacausecrypto; 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We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
