Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Premier League, MLS and European football: lineups, shot maps, xG, tables and odds. REST and MCP.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • list_teams

    Use 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

  • list_games

    Use to list fixtures and results by season, stage, date, date range or club, newest first. For upcoming fixtures with lines use get_schedule; for one match in full use get_game. Costs 2 credits.

  • get_schedule

  • get_game

    Use 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_lineups

    Use 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

    Use for a season's league table: rank, played, won, drawn, lost, goals for and against, goal difference, points (official, with any deduction), qualification or relegation note, plus home and away records and recent form. Champions League: one table per group or the league phase.

  • get_ratings

    Use for our club Elo ratings, strongest first, as of the latest match (or as of date). A 100-point gap is about a 64% expected score for the stronger side at a neutral venue. Costs 2 credits.

  • get_team_stats

    Use for clubs' per-match averages over a season, for and against: goals, our xG, shots, shots on target, possession, pass accuracy, corners, fouls, cards, tackles, clean sheets. Possession is missing for some leagues and seasons (for example the Eredivisie before 2020, the Scotti

  • get_events

    Use 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_odds

    Use 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_line_movement

    Use to see how a match's line moved before kick-off: our pre-game snapshots of each sportsbook's three-way moneyline, handicap and total (captured once a day, and every hour for matches in the next four days). Costs 10 credits. Prices are market information: never work out a stak

  • get_player_props

    Use 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_history

    Use 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_movement

    Use 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_odds

  • get_game_probabilities

    Use 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. Only identical lines a

  • get_prop_probabilities

    Use 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. Only identical lines are combined, and a

  • get_prop_backtest

    Use to test an idea about player props without pulling every row: how often a kind of prop went over or under against what the market implied, across every finished game we hold prices for that fits your filters. Returns the hit rate, its 95% interval, the average implied and fai

Common questions

Is StrikerAPI safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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 –, and the latest version (1.1.6) reached the registry 23 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 in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

StrikerAPI MCP server

The soccer data API. Results, lineups, box scores and match events for 17 competitions, from the Premier League, MLS, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the Champions League to the EFL Championship, the NWSL, Liga MX, the Europa League, the Conference League, the Eredivisie, the Primeira Liga, the Scottish Premiership, Brazil's Serie A and Argentina's Liga Profesional, with the location of every charted shot, our own expected goals and Elo ratings, sportsbook lines and anytime goalscorer prices. REST API and MCP server. 500 free credits every month, no card.

You:    "Which Premier League teams allowed the most xG from set pieces last season?"

Claude: [calls get_team_stats]

You: "Show Arsenal's shot map against Chelsea in their last meeting." Claude: [calls get_shot_map]

You: "What was Erling Haaland's anytime goalscorer price at each sportsbook before his last match?" Claude: [calls get_player_props]

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.

Examples

Runnable Python (standard library only) and Node 18+ (no dependencies) examples live in examples/:

  • examples/python/quickstart.py and examples/node/quickstart.mjs: schedule plus a headline call.
