Available tools 11

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

arbs

arbs

Spots where two books' prices on opposite sides of the same bet added up to less than 100 percent implied at the scan, with how a stake would split. Prices may have moved since the scan. An arb can close at any time.

ask

ask

Ask one whole sports betting price question in plain English, the way a person would: which book pays the most for a bet, hedge math on a ticket, a parlay price, a game's board, a past result or how a line has moved. Returns a plain-sentence answer, the time the prices were scanned and a link to the matching page on theoddsgap.com. When a question could mean more than one game, it returns the choices as plain text to ask again with. Prices may have moved since the scan. Information only: it places no bets and gives no picks.

calc

calc

Runs a betting calculation on numbers you supply: convert odds between formats, implied probability, payout on a stake, the no-vig price of two sides, hold, breakeven, a parlay of typed odds, or an arb or hedge split on typed prices. Uses only the numbers given, no market data.

futures

futures_odds

Season-long futures such as the Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, NBA and college titles: the highest price we saw on a team, or the top of one futures market, with the scan time. Prices may have moved since the scan.

game

game_lines

One game's moneyline, spread or total: both sides on the consensus number, or which side the market has as the favorite. Name the game in plain words, for example Lions at Bears. Shows the scan time and a link to the game's page. Prices may have moved since the scan.

middles

middles

Spread and total middles across sportsbooks at the scan: two numbers far enough apart that both bets could win. Prices may have moved since the scan.

past

past_game

A finished game: the final score, the closing spread and total, and the earliest line we recorded, with a link to the game's page. Never an upcoming game.

player

player_prop

One player's prop: the line the market is at and the highest price we saw on each side, with the scan time. The player must be on our props board. Prices may have moved since the scan.

site

site_info

Explains a betting term or how The Odds Gap works (gap percent, matched lines, the exchange depth rule, Kalshi fees, why offshore books are left out, the site's tools), in the site's own words with a link to the page it comes from.

slate

slate

Lists the games in a window (tonight, tomorrow, a weekday or a date) for a league or one team, with the highest moneyline price we saw on each side and the time it was scanned. Prices may have moved since the scan.

team

team_record

A team's finished games tracked on The Odds Gap and its next game. Not an official league record.

The Odds Gap — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can The Odds Gap do?

It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: arbs, ask, calc, futures_odds, game_lines, middles and 5 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 The Odds Gap 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 618 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect The Odds Gap?

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

Does The Odds Gap need an API key?

No. The Odds Gap completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is The Odds Gap?

It answers our handshake in 618 ms on average, which is faster than 18% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
