README

sportscore-mcp

MCP server for SportScore — live scores, match details, standings, top scorers, brackets and player stats across football, basketball, cricket and tennis. Free public API, CORS-open, no API key.

Works in any Model Context Protocol host: Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, Zed, and custom MCP clients.

What it gives your AI assistant

Live + recent matches by sport
Single match detail (score, status, timeline, lineups)
Team schedules
League / competition standings
Top scorers / top assisters
Player statistics and metadata
Knockout tournament brackets
Live match tracker data

Install in Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows — %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sportscore": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "sportscore-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You should see the SportScore tools in the tools menu. Ask things like:

"What Premier League matches are live right now?"
"Show me the NBA standings."
"Who are the top scorers in La Liga?"
"What's Barcelona's next fixture?"

Install in Cursor / Continue / Zed

Any MCP host that accepts a stdio command works. The npx -y sportscore-mcp invocation is the same — consult your host's MCP docs for the exact config file.

Configuration

Environment variables (optional):

Variable	Default	Purpose
`SPORTSCORE_API_BASE`	`https://sportscore.com`	Override the API base URL (useful for staging / self-hosted)
`SPORTSCORE_UA`	`sportscore-mcp/0.3 (+https://sportscore.com/developers/)`	Override the User-Agent string
`SPORTSCORE_HTTP_PORT`	(unset)	If set, run as a Streamable HTTP server on this port instead of stdio
`SPORTSCORE_HTTP_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	Bind address when running in HTTP mode
`SPORTSCORE_NO_TELEMETRY`	(unset)	Set to `1` to disable the opt-out install-ping (see below)

Anonymous install-ping (opt-out)

On startup the server fires one fire-and-forget POST to https://sportscore.com/api/mcp/ping/ with this payload:

{ "client": "sportscore-mcp", "version": "0.3.0", "transport": "stdio", "host": "darwin", "node": "20.11.0" }

That's the whole payload — no user id, no IP, no cookies, no fingerprint. We use it to see rough weekly-active-installs and Node/OS spread so we know what to support. Opt out with SPORTSCORE_NO_TELEMETRY=1.

Tools

Tool	Purpose	Required args
`get_matches`	Live + recent matches	`sport`
`get_match_detail`	Single match by slug	`sport`, `slug`
`get_team_schedule`	Team fixtures	`sport`, `slug`
`get_standings`	League table	`sport`, `slug`
`get_top_scorers`	Top scorers / assisters	`sport`, `slug`
`get_player`	Player stats	`sport`, `slug`
`get_bracket`	Knockout bracket	`sport`, `slug`
`get_tracker`	Live tracker data	`sport`, `id`
