Available tools 9

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

api

api_usage

Your account's quota position: plan, monthly record limit, records used, remaining, and when the quota resets. Requires a stat-api sign-in or API key; costs 1 record.

describe

describe_table

Full contract for one table: fields with types and descriptions, the filters query_table accepts (with operators like __gte/__lte/__between/__like and required filter combinations), page-size limits, primary key, and a runnable example URL. No credentials needed. Always call this before query_table — filters not listed here are rejected.

games

games_on_date

Games scheduled/played on one calendar date (US-Eastern) for nba, mlb, or nhl; defaults to today. Returns the same envelope as query_table on the games table. NFL is week-based, not date-based — for nfl, use query_table on nfl/games with season_id + week filters instead. Requires a stat-api sign-in or API key; rows count against quota.

graphql

graphql_query

Run a GraphQL query against the same data with relations — nest from a game to its teams/players/odds in one call. Root fields are leagues (nfl, nba, …), each exposing its tables with the same filter arguments as REST plus `first`/`after` pagination. Do NOT send introspection queries (the schema is huge) — use describe_table instead; the SDL is at https://api.stat-api.com/api/v1/graphql/sdl. Requires a stat-api sign-in or API key; every row resolved anywhere in the tree counts against quota.

leagues

list_leagues

List every league/data group this API serves (nfl, nba, mlb, nhl, pga, dfs, reference) with table counts and availability. No credentials needed. Start here, then call list_tables.

players

search_players

Fuzzy player-name search (typo-tolerant). Currently NBA only — for other leagues query the players table with a name filter via query_table. Returns player rows ordered by match quality. Requires a stat-api sign-in or API key; rows count against quota.

record

get_record

Fetch a single row by primary key. Returns the row object. Requires a stat-api sign-in or API key; costs 1 record of quota.

table

query_table

Query any table. Returns `{"<table>": [rows], "limit": N, "next_from_id": M|null, "has_more": bool}`. To read every row, start with from_id=0 and re-call with from_id set to the previous next_from_id until it is null. A call without from_id returns the first page in the table's default sort with next_from_id null. filters is a flat object of `field` or `field__op` keys from describe_table (e.g. {"season_id": 2024, "day__between": "20250101,20250131"}). Requires a stat-api account: sign in when the app asks (free account at https://stat-api.com), or send an API key as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Every returned row counts against the monthly record quota.

tables

list_tables

List every queryable table in one league with a one-line summary each. No credentials needed. Follow with describe_table before querying.

stat-api — Sports Data — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can stat-api — Sports Data do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: api_usage, describe_table, games_on_date, get_record, graphql_query, list_leagues and 3 more. 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 stat-api — Sports Data working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 427 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Did stat-api — Sports Data ever remove tools?

Yes. game_markets is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.

How do I connect stat-api — Sports Data?

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 stat-api — Sports Data need an API key?

No. stat-api — Sports Data completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is stat-api — Sports Data?

It answers our handshake in 427 ms on average, which is faster than 30% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is stat-api — Sports Data open source?

We cannot say either way: 2 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
