\n\n---\n\n## Tools\n\nSeven tools organized around what an agent needs — find a team or player, get today's scores, check the schedule, read the standings, or pull full team or player detail:\n\n| Tool | Description |\n|:-----|:------------|\n| `sports_find_team` | Resolve a team name or partial name to its canonical record and source IDs. Use before any team-scoped query. |\n| `sports_find_player` | Resolve a player name to their canonical record via TheSportsDB. Disambiguation step before player-scoped queries. |\n| `sports_get_scores` | Live and final scores for a league on a given date, optionally scoped to a specific team. |\n| `sports_get_schedule` | Upcoming and past fixtures for a team or league over a date range. |\n| `sports_get_standings` | Current standings or league table for a league and season. |\n| `sports_get_team` | Team detail: active roster, last 5 results, next 3 fixtures, venue, and metadata. |\n| `sports_get_player` | Player detail: bio, current team, position, nationality, birth date, height/weight, and thumbnail. |\n\n### `sports_find_team`\n\nResolve a fuzzy team name to its canonical record across ESPN, MLB StatsAPI, and TheSportsDB.\n\n- Returns full name, league, logo URL, venue, and ESPN/MLB/TheSportsDB cross-reference IDs\n- Use before `sports_get_scores`, `sports_get_schedule`, `sports_get_standings`, or `sports_get_team` to get a valid `team_name`\n- Fuzzy match on display name, abbreviation, or location (e.g. \"Mariners\", \"SEA\", \"Seattle Seahawks\")\n\n---\n\n### `sports_find_player`\n\nResolve a player name to their canonical record.\n\n- Multi-sport player search via TheSportsDB\n- Optional `sport` value is an advisory disambiguation hint; matching players are returned regardless of its value\n- Returns player ID, full name, current team, position, nationality, birth date, and thumbnail URL\n- Use the returned `player_id` with `sports_get_player` for full bio detail\n\n---\n\n### `sports_get_scores`\n\nLive and final scores for a league on a given date.\n\n- Routes NFL/NBA/NHL/soccer → ESPN; MLB → MLB StatsAPI (more authoritative)\n- Returns home/away teams, current score, status (`scheduled`/`in-progress`/`final`), period/clock, and UTC start time\n- Omit `date` for today's games; use `team_name` to filter to one team's game\n- Returns `games: [], reason: '...'` (not an error) when no games are scheduled\n\n---\n\n### `sports_get_schedule`\n\nUpcoming and past fixtures for a team or league over a date range.\n\n- Fetches full season from ESPN and applies `date_from`/`date_to` filtering server-side\n- Returns opponent, home/away flag, UTC date/time, venue, and result for completed games\n- Omit `team_name` for the full league calendar; provide it for a single team's fixtures\n\n---\n\n### `sports_get_standings`\n\nCurrent standings or league table for a league and season.\n\n- Returns rank, W/L (or points for soccer/NHL), division/conference, streak, and games behind\n- Omit `season` for the current season; pass a YYYY year for historical standings\n- NHL uses points system (`wins`/`otLosses`/`losses`); soccer returns `points` for the league table\n\n---\n\n### `sports_get_team`\n\nComposite team detail combining multiple source calls.\n\n- Active roster (or squad), last 5 results, next 3 fixtures, venue, and team metadata\n- MLB teams use MLB StatsAPI for roster and schedule; all others use ESPN\n\n---\n\n### `sports_get_player`\n\nFull player profile from TheSportsDB.\n\n- Bio, current team, position, nationality, birth date, height/weight, career description\n- Media thumbnail URL for display\n- Accepts `tsdb:`-prefixed IDs (from `sports_find_player`) or raw numeric TheSportsDB IDs\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\nBuilt on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):\n\n- Declarative tool definitions — single file per tool, framework handles registration and validation\n- Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats\n- Pluggable auth: `none`, `jwt`, `oauth`\n- Swappable storage backends: `in-memory`, `filesystem`, `Supabase`, `Cloudflare KV/R2/D1`\n- Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing\n- STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports\n\nSports-specific:\n\n- Three keyless sources — ESPN site API, MLB StatsAPI, TheSportsDB (free tier key `3`) — no API credentials required\n- League routing table internally routes each query to the best source per sport; agents never reference an upstream API\n- Normalized output types across all sources — `NormalizedGame`, `NormalizedTeam`, `NormalizedPlayer`, `NormalizedStanding` — with source provenance on every record\n- Graceful degradation — empty scoreboards (off-season, no games) return `games: []` with a `reason` string, not an error\n\nAgent-friendly output:\n\n- Source provenance on every record — `source: 'espn' | 'mlbstats' | 'thesportsdb'` so agents can reason about data authority\n- Structured `reason` field on empty score responses so agents can explain the result to users\n- Cross-source IDs surfaced by `sports_find_team` — `espnId`, `mlbId`, `tsdbId` — for seamless downstream routing without re-resolving names\n\n## Getting started\n\nAdd the following to your MCP client configuration file.\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"sports\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"bunx\",\n \"args\": [\"@cyanheads/sports-mcp-server@latest\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"MCP_LOG_LEVEL\": \"info\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOr with npx (no Bun required):\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"sports\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"npx\",\n \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@cyanheads/sports-mcp-server@latest\"],\n \"env\": {\n \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE\": \"stdio\",\n \"MCP_LOG_LEVEL\": \"info\"\n }\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nOr with Docker:\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"sports\": {\n \"type\": \"stdio\",\n \"command\": \"docker\",\n \"args\": [\n \"run\", \"-i\", \"--rm\",\n \"-e\", \"MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=stdio\",\n \"ghcr.io/cyanheads/sports-mcp-server:latest\"\n ]\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\nFor Streamable HTTP, set the transport and start the server:\n\n```sh\nMCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE=http MCP_HTTP_PORT=3010 bun run start:http\n# Server listens at http://localhost:3010/mcp\n```\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- [Bun v1.3.0](https://bun.sh/) or higher (or Node.js v24+).\n- No API keys required — ESPN and MLB StatsAPI are fully keyless; TheSportsDB ships with a free public test key (`3`).\n\n### Installation\n\n1. **Clone the repository:**\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/cyanheads/sports-mcp-server.git\n```\n\n2. **Navigate into the directory:**\n\n```sh\ncd sports-mcp-server\n```\n\n3. **Install dependencies:**\n\n```sh\nbun install\n```\n\n4. **Configure environment:**\n\n```sh\ncp .env.example .env\n# edit .env to override defaults (all optional)\n```\n\n## Configuration\n\n| Variable | Description | Default |\n|:---------|:------------|:--------|\n| `THESPORTSDB_API_KEY` | TheSportsDB API key. Replace with a paid key for higher rate limits. | `3` |\n| `MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE` | Transport: `stdio` or `http`. | `stdio` |\n| `MCP_HTTP_PORT` | Port for HTTP server. | `3010` |\n| `MCP_SESSION_MODE` | HTTP session mode: `auto`, `stateful`, or `stateless`. `auto` resolves to stateful. | `stateless` |\n| `MCP_AUTH_MODE` | Auth mode: `none`, `jwt`, or `oauth`. | `none` |\n| `MCP_LOG_LEVEL` | Log level (RFC 5424). | `info` |\n| `LOGS_DIR` | Directory for log files (Node.js only). | `/logs` |\n| `OTEL_ENABLED` | Enable [OpenTelemetry instrumentation](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/tree/main/docs/telemetry). | `false` |\n\nSee [`.env.example`](./.env.example) for the full list of optional overrides.\n\n## Running the server\n\n### Local development\n\n- **Build and run:**\n\n ```sh\n # One-time build\n bun run rebuild\n\n # Run the built server\n bun run start:stdio\n # or\n bun run start:http\n ```\n\n- **Run checks and tests:**\n\n ```sh\n bun run devcheck # Lint, format, typecheck, security\n bun run test # Vitest test suite\n bun run lint:mcp # Validate MCP definitions against spec\n ```\n\n### Docker\n\n```sh\ndocker build -t sports-mcp-server .\ndocker run --rm -p 3010:3010 sports-mcp-server\n```\n\nThe Dockerfile builds with Bun, runs the production server under Node, defaults to HTTP transport and stateless session mode, and logs to `/var/log/sports-mcp-server`. OpenTelemetry peer dependencies are installed by default — build with `--build-arg OTEL_ENABLED=false` to omit them.\n\n## Project structure\n\n| Directory | Purpose |\n|:----------|:--------|\n| `src/index.ts` | `createApp()` entry point — registers tools and inits services. |\n| `src/config` | Server-specific environment variable parsing (`THESPORTSDB_API_KEY`). |\n| `src/services/types.ts` | Normalized cross-source types and league routing table. |\n| `src/services/espn` | ESPN site API service — scores, schedules, standings, teams. |\n| `src/services/mlb` | MLB StatsAPI service — scores, schedules, standings, rosters. |\n| `src/services/thesportsdb` | TheSportsDB service — player and team search/metadata. |\n| `src/mcp-server/tools` | Tool definitions (`*.tool.ts`). |\n| `tests/` | Unit and integration tests mirroring `src/`. |\n| `docs/` | Design doc and directory tree. |\n\n## Development guide\n\nSee [`CLAUDE.md`/`AGENTS.md`](./CLAUDE.md) for development guidelines and architectural rules. The short version:\n\n- Handlers throw, framework catches — no `try/catch` in tool logic\n- Use `ctx.log` for request-scoped logging, `ctx.state` for tenant-scoped storage\n- Register new tools via the barrel in `src/mcp-server/tools/definitions/index.ts`\n- Wrap external API calls: validate raw → normalize to domain type → return output schema; never fabricate missing fields\n\n## Contributing\n\nIssues and pull requests are welcome. Run checks and tests before submitting:\n\n```sh\nbun run devcheck\nbun run test\n```\n\n## License\n\nApache-2.0 — see [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details.\n",
