Sommaire
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.

Attribution
This MCP server surfaces a Powered by SportScore attribution with every tool result. The free-tier API requires that attribution to remain visible in end-user-facing output — so please don't strip it from your prompts or post-processing.
Commercial / white-label use that needs to remove the attribution: api@sportscore.com. Terms: sportscore.com/developers/terms/.
Rate limits
Free tier: approximately 1000 requests / 24h / IP, with 60-second edge caching. Sensible for any MCP workflow — a user driving a chat session will not approach the limit. Bulk / production / higher-volume use: contact api@sportscore.com.
