stat api — Sports Data

STAT API — Sports Data MCP Server

Remote MCP server (streamable HTTP) for stat-api.com: NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and PGA data — players, games, box scores, play-by-play — plus DFS salaries/slates and prediction-market prices from Kalshi and Polymarket.

Endpoint: https://api.stat-api.com/mcp

Listed in the official MCP Registry as com.stat-api/sports-data.

Setup

Works anonymously out of the box; add a free API key to unlock the data tools.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http stat-api https://api.stat-api.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>"

JSON config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, and most other clients)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stat-api": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.stat-api.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

Omit the headers block to connect without credentials — the catalog tools still work, and the server tells you where to get a key when you call a data tool.
