What is the Wc MCP MCP server?

Connect Wc MCP to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. World Cup History MCP — by Zafronix. Every FIFA World Cup since 1930 as MCP tools. 23 tournaments, 1,168+ matches, 2,500+ players, 206 stadiums. Squads, brackets, stadiums, trivia — searchable from Claude / Cursor / any MCP-aware agent. The wc mcp mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

  • Exact tournament results from before the trained-data window
  • Roster details (jersey numbers, DOBs, captains)
  • Knockout-round paths and exact scores
  • Stadium facts (capacity, altitude, year opened)

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • list_tournaments — Every WC 1930→2026 (year, host, champion)
  • get_tournament — Full tournament: teams, brackets, awards, squads
  • compare_tournaments — Side-by-side stats for 2-6 years
  • search_players — Player name search across history
  • get_player_career — Every WC a player appeared in
  • list_teams — Every nation that ever played, optional confederation filter
  • get_team — Cross-tournament summary for a country
  • get_team_roster — Full squad for one team in one year
  • list_stadiums — Every WC venue with elevation + coords
  • get_stadium — Single venue by slug
  • list_matches — Filter by year / stage / date
  • get_match — Single match with score + attendance + referee

Installation

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.

Credentials and setup notes

Configuration is passed through the environment: WC_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Where it fits

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. Wc MCP's toolset — list_tournaments, get_tournament, compare_tournaments and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by zafronix; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Wc MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • 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.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Wc MCP.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
