NBA MCP — player, team, and game data via the BallDontLie API
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_players | "Find NBA player [name]" / "search NBA roster for [X]" / "is [player] in the NBA" — search NBA players by name on BallDontLie. Returns position, height, weight, college, country, draft info, and current team. NOTE: per-season averages (PPG/RPG/APG) and career stats are NOT in this response — those require BallDontLie's ALL-STAR tier ($9.99/mo at https://www.balldontlie.io/) via the /season_averages endpoint, which is not currently exposed by Pipeworx. Free-tier _apiKey works for this tool. |
get_player | Direct lookup of a single NBA player by BallDontLie ID. ⚠️ TIER-GATED: the /players/{id} endpoint requires the ALL-STAR tier ($9.99/mo) or higher; free-tier _apiKey gets a 403 with "No approval received". search_players covers the same player metadata (name/position/height/weight/team) on the free tier, so prefer that unless you already have a paid BallDontLie key. |
get_teams | Get all 30 NBA teams with full names, abbreviations, conference, and division. Use to find team info or prepare for get_games queries. Requires a free BallDontLie API key. |
get_games | Get NBA games for a season (e.g., 2023, 2024). Returns game date, status, matchup teams, and final or live scores. Requires a free BallDontLie API key. |
