Sports Mcp Server
Wire live scores, schedules, standings, and rosters into sports side projects, bots, or dashboards via TheSportsDB through MCP.
Overview

What is this MCP server?
- Live scores, schedules, standings, teams, and players for NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and soccer
- Backed by TheSportsDB with THESPORTSDB_API_KEY defaulting to public test key "3"
- stdio @cyanheads/sports-mcp-server v0.1.2 and optional local streamable-http on port 3010
- Swap in a paid API key when free-tier rate limits block shipping tests
- Keeps agent context on current season data instead of stale hard-coded fixtures
- Leagues cited: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and soccer
- Package version: 0.1.2 (@cyanheads/sports-mcp-server)
- Default THESPORTSDB_API_KEY: "3" (free public test key)
What problem does it solve?
Indie sports app builders repeatedly hand-roll API calls and parse JSON when agents could fetch consistent league data in one step.
Who is it for?
Side projects and MVPs that need multi-league sports data during active Build sprints.
Skip if: Betting-grade latency guarantees, deep play-by-play proprietary feeds, or leagues outside TheSportsDB coverage.

Journey fit
Sports data access is primarily an integration task once you are implementing features, so Build is the canonical phase. Integrations subphase covers third-party sports APIs consumed by agents or app backends during active development.
How it compares
Third-party sports API MCP bridge, not a fantasy analytics modeling skill.
