ESPN Sports MCP By UnClick
- malamutemayhem/unclick
ESPN Sports MCP is a MCP server that exposes ESPN sports and scores tools to AI coding agents over stdio.
About
ESPN Sports MCP by UnClick is a Model Context Protocol server that gives coding agents structured access to ESPN-oriented sports tooling—scores, schedules, and related ESPN data surfaces described in the catalog entry. Developers shipping sports newsletters, score widgets, fantasy helpers, or SaaS dashboards can register the server in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Windsurf and let the agent pull live context while writing integration code or copy. The package ships at version 0.1.0 as @unclick/espn-mcp with stdio transport and an npx launch path, which keeps setup lightweight for one-person stacks. It is a task integration MCP, not a methodology skill: you add it when you need dependable sports data inside the build loop rather than as a cross-journey process. Pair it with your own caching, rate limits, and terms-of-use review for production. Ideal when ESPN-backed facts should flow straight into agent turns during backend or content feature work.
- ESPN-focused sports tools callable from any MCP-compatible agent via stdio transport
- Published as @unclick/espn-mcp (v0.1.0) with npx runtime hint for quick local registration
- Maintained in the malamutemayhem/unclick monorepo under packages/standalone/espn-mcp
- Suited for score tickers, sports side projects, and fantasy-adjacent UX without custom ESPN client code
- UnClick-packaged MCP server—not a prompt skill; tools are invoked at build time

License
UnClick uses a split license. The platform (website, API, and hosted backend
and memory services) is AGPL-3.0 (see LICENSE). The npm client
package @unclick/mcp-server stays MIT, and the standalone connector
packages stay Apache-2.0. Full breakdown and reasoning in
LICENSING.md.
What it does
Gives your agent access to a growing catalog of tools across developer utilities, social media, e-commerce, finance, messaging, media, security, and more. You don't need to install separate packages for each integration. One server provides access to everything in the catalog.
Tool Surface
UnClick exposes a small direct surface for daily agent workflows, plus hidden internal discovery tools for the full catalog.
| Tool group | Tools |
|---|---|
| Memory session protocol | load_memory, save_fact, search_memory, save_identity, save_session |
| Signals and Boardroom coordination | check_signals, read_messages, post_message, create_todo, list_todos, update_todo, complete_todo, create_idea, list_ideas, vote_on_idea, promote_idea_to_todo |
| Hidden internal catalog tools | unclick_search, unclick_browse, unclick_tool_info, unclick_call |
The agent starts with memory, uses direct Boardroom tools for coordination, and can still call the hidden catalog tools by name when it needs dynamic endpoint discovery.
Compatibility and advanced memory operations
- Legacy memory names still work as aliases:
get_startup_context->load_memory,write_session_summary->save_session,add_fact->save_fact,set_business_context->save_identity. - The remaining memory operations are intentionally not listed in
ListToolsand are called throughunclick_callwithendpoint_id: "memory.<op>"(for examplememory.manage_decay,memory.store_code,memory.log_conversation,memory.supersede_fact,memory.upsert_library_doc).
Requirements
- Node.js 18+
- An API key from unclick.world
Set your key as an environment variable:
UNCLICK_API_KEY=your_key_here
Or pass it via the MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"unclick": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "https://github.com/malamutemayhem/unclick/releases/latest/download/unclick.tgz"],
"env": {
"UNCLICK_API_KEY": "your_key_here"
}
}
