list_teamsUse to find club ids and abbreviations for a season (default: the latest), with each club's colour, second colour, a readable text colour on it and logo. Every other tool takes a club as an id, abbreviation or name. Pass league for MLS (mls), La Liga (laliga), Serie A (seriea), t

get_gameUse for one match in full: score (with shootout), both clubs' box scores (possession, shots, xG, passing, discipline), every player's line, the key events (goals, cards, substitutions, penalties, VAR) and each sportsbook's opening and closing line. For every event use get_events;
get_lineupsUse for a match's lineups: each club's formation, starting XI with positions and formation slots, the substitutes used with the minute they came on (and who went off when), and the unused bench. Before kick-off it returns the club-confirmed team sheet (source live) from about an

get_eventsUse for a match's events in order: goals (with assister, own goals, penalties), shots with location, outcome, body part and our xG, cards, substitutions, fouls, corners, offsides and VAR decisions. Filter with kind. Older matches carry goals, cards and substitutions only. Costs 1
get_shot_mapUse for a shot map: a club's shots (or, with against, the shots it conceded), a player's, or one match's, for a season (default: the latest). Returns totals and zones (six-yard box, penalty area, outside the box, penalties) with goals, shots on target, xG and conversion, and ever
get_oddsUse for betting lines: each sportsbook's three-way moneyline (home, draw, away), goal handicap and total (opening and closing from June 2020 for 16 competitions and from 2024 for the rest; before that most books carry one final pre-match line), the no-margin probabilities each bo

get_player_propsUse for player prop lines by sportsbook: the anytime goalscorer price (Yes in over_odds, No in under_odds where posted, no line) and, for the top five leagues, MLS and the Champions League, first and last goalscorer, to be carded, shots on target, shots and assists over/unders (m
get_prop_historyUse to see how a player did against his prop line over time: for one market (anytime, first or last goalscorer, to be carded, shots on target, shots or assists: one row per match with the closing price and what he recorded), one row per game with the closing line (the median acro
get_prop_movementUse to see how one player's prop line moved before a game: every capture we hold, book by book and oldest first, with the line, both prices and the minutes before the start. line_change is the last capture's line minus the first's. The number of captures varies by game and book.
get_market_oddsUse for the extra betting markets of a game as history: both teams to score, draw no bet, double chance, and the 1st half result, total and goal handicap, for the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, MLS and the Champions League. Pass game_id (from get_sched
get_game_probabilitiesUse for what the market thinks of one game, not any one book's price: the average implied probability (margin in) and the fair probability (margin out) for the moneyline (home, draw and away), each handicap and each total, with how many books each rests on.

get_prop_probabilitiesUse for what the market thinks of the player props in one game, not any one book's price: for each player and each line, the average implied probability (margin in) and the fair probability (margin out), with how many books each rests on.

Common questions
Is StrikerAPI safe?
It passed 5 of 5 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
You need to fill in: x-api-key
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 2 days ago, and the latest version (1.1.6) reached the registry 29 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).
What can I use instead?

StrikerAPI MCP server

Run it locally (stdio)
Most clients connect to https://mcp.strikerapi.com/mcp directly. For a client that launches a local process instead:
git clone https://github.com/noahowsh/strikerapi-mcp.git && cd strikerapi-mcp && npm install
STRIKERAPI_API_KEY=your_key node index.js
{ "mcpServers": { "strikerapi": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/strikerapi-mcp/index.js"], "env": { "STRIKERAPI_API_KEY": "your_key" } } } }
It forwards to the hosted server with your key, so every tool and credit cost is the same.
Skills
The skills/ folder holds 16 Claude skills that turn Claude into a soccer analyst on top of these tools: match lookup, team and player analysis, odds comparison, xG and shot maps, Elo, Poisson and Dixon-Coles score models, three-way devigging, calibration, edge detection, backtesting and anytime goalscorer modeling. Each skill names the exact tools it calls and what they cost.
git clone https://github.com/noahowsh/strikerapi-mcp.git
Or install them as a Claude Code plugin:
/plugin marketplace add noahowsh/strikerapi-mcp
/plugin install strikerapi-skills@strikerapi
Or with the skills CLI: npx skills add noahowsh/strikerapi-mcp.
Then point Claude at the skills/ folder (for Claude Code, copy or symlink the folders into ~/.claude/skills/) and connect the server below. Start with dispatch if you are unsure which skill to use. Full catalog: skills/README.md.
Python
The official Python client is on PyPI: strikerapi.
pip install strikerapi
export STRIKERAPI_API_KEY=sk_live_...
from strikerapi import Client, to_dataframe
client = Client()
table = client.get_standings(league="mls") df = to_dataframe(table, key="standings") print(df[["group_name", "rank", "display_name", "played", "points"]].head(10))
Typed errors for a bad key, no credits left, not found and rate limits, automatic retries, and to_dataframe for pandas.
Quick start
This is a hosted (remote) MCP server over Streamable HTTP. There is nothing to install.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http strikerapi "https://mcp.strikerapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients
{
"mcpServers": { "strikerapi": { "url": "https://mcp.strikerapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY" } } }
The key can also be sent as an x-api-key header or Authorization: Bearer. Connecting and listing tools works without a key; calling a tool needs one.
REST
curl -X POST https://mcp.strikerapi.com/v1/list_teams -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Every tool is POST /v1/{tool} with a JSON body.
