sports

find_sports_apis

Use this when a developer asks which sports odds API, sports data API, sportsbook odds feed, live odds API, esports odds API, player props API, or free sports API to use for an app, model, or odds comparison tool. Filters the providers researched by SportsAPIs.dev by sport, required features (live odds, WebSocket streaming, Bet365 or Pinnacle odds, historical odds, player props, stats, live scores, MCP server), free tier, price tier and region. Returns a ranked short list with a one-line reason and the SportsAPIs.dev review URL for each provider. Ranking: every feature, free tier, price and region filter must match; sport is a boost, not a filter, because sport lists come from mentions in our reviews. Featured partners of SportsAPIs.dev rank first and are labelled as featured partners. Within each group, providers whose review names the sport come first; with a free tier or price tier filter, cheaper paid plans come next. Other ties follow a daily rotation, so no provider is always first. Features the user did not ask for do not change the order. With no sport, feature, book, league, market, budget or region at all, it returns no providers and asks what the user needs. Optional books, leagues and markets filters (for example "DraftKings", "NBA", "player points") keep only providers in the SportsAPIs.dev Coverage Map that carry every requested value, so use them only when the user needs a specific book, league or market confirmed. Do not use this for betting picks, game predictions, or the odds of a specific match; it has no odds data, only facts about API providers.

get_sports_api_details

Use this when a developer asks about one specific sports odds or sports data API by name, for example "Is The-Odds-API free?", "Does OddsPapi have a WebSocket?", "OddsJam API pricing", or "Sportradar API review". Returns everything the SportsAPIs.dev review page records: feature support, pricing tiers from our review, free tier, sports mentioned, strengths, the full review text, FAQs, alternatives in the directory, and the review URL. The provider must be in the SportsAPIs.dev directory. Do not use this for a sportsbook, a league, or a betting question.

compare

compare_sports_apis

Use this when a developer names two to four sports odds or sports data API providers and wants them compared, for example "The-Odds-API vs OddsPapi" or "SportsGamesOdds or SportsData.io for player props". Returns a side-by-side table of researched feature support (pregame, live, Bet365, Pinnacle, closing odds, futures, same game parlay, deeplinks, settlement, stats, schedules, WebSocket, MCP server, esports), pricing scale, free tier, sports mentioned in our reviews, the differences between them, and the SportsAPIs.dev review URL for each. Providers must be in the SportsAPIs.dev directory. Do not use this to compare betting odds or sportsbook prices for a game.

SportsAPIs.dev — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SportsAPIs.dev do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_sports_apis, find_sports_apis, get_sports_api_details. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is SportsAPIs.dev working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 88 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists SportsAPIs.dev as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect SportsAPIs.dev?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does SportsAPIs.dev need an API key?

No. SportsAPIs.dev completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
