Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maxpreps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "maxpreps-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MAXPREPS_USER_AGENT": "your-value",
        "MAXPREPS_CACHE_TTL": "your-value",
        "MAXPREPS_MIN_INTERVAL_MS": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add maxpreps --env MAXPREPS_USER_AGENT=your-value --env MAXPREPS_CACHE_TTL=your-value --env MAXPREPS_MIN_INTERVAL_MS=your-value -- npx -y maxpreps-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "maxpreps": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "maxpreps-mcp"

      "env": {
        "MAXPREPS_USER_AGENT": "your-value",
        "MAXPREPS_CACHE_TTL": "your-value",
        "MAXPREPS_MIN_INTERVAL_MS": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "maxpreps": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "maxpreps-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MAXPREPS_USER_AGENT": "your-value",
        "MAXPREPS_CACHE_TTL": "your-value",
        "MAXPREPS_MIN_INTERVAL_MS": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Values you fill in

MAXPREPS_USER_AGENT env
Optional override for the User-Agent sent to MaxPreps.
MAXPREPS_CACHE_TTL env
Seconds to cache a page response. Default 300; 0 disables caching.
MAXPREPS_MIN_INTERVAL_MS env
Minimum spacing between requests, in ms. Default 250.

Common questions

Is Maxpreps MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.0) reached the registry 3 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

maxpreps-mcp

MCP server for MaxPreps — read any US high school's team schedules, scores, records, rosters, stat leaders and athlete careers.

Developed and maintained by AI (Claude Code). Use at your own discretion.

No account, no API key, no browser extension. MaxPreps serves its pages with Next.js, and every public page has a companion JSON route carrying the same data the page was rendered from. This server reads those routes directly over plain HTTPS, so it works anywhere Node runs.

Install

npx maxpreps-mcp

Or add it to an MCP host:

"mcpServers": { "maxpreps": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "maxpreps-mcp"] } } }

Tools

All fifteen are read-only; this server has no write path.

Tool	What it does
`maxpreps_search`	Find a school or athlete by name — start here
`maxpreps_list_teams`	Every team path a school publishes, with sport/gender/level
`maxpreps_get_school`	School profile, identifiers, association, nearby schools
`maxpreps_get_team`	Season record, standings, rankings, and available seasons
`maxpreps_get_schedule`	Games with results and scores, plus a computed record
`maxpreps_get_roster`	Players with jersey, class, positions, height, weight
`maxpreps_get_stat_leaders`	Statistical leaders with qualifying minimums
`maxpreps_get_rankings`	Ranked leaderboard for a sport, national or by state
`maxpreps_get_team_rankings`	Where one team ranks nationally, by state, division, metro
`maxpreps_get_standings`	Conference table with every team's record
`maxpreps_list_stat_categories`	Which stat leaderboards exist, and their paths
`maxpreps_get_stat_leaderboard`	Ranked athletes for one stat, statewide or national
`maxpreps_get_athlete`	One athlete's career page
`maxpreps_healthcheck`	Connectivity plus site build-id resolution
`maxpreps_get_page`	Raw page data for anything the above doesn't cover (roster rows are projected to public fields)

Typical flow

Paths are not guessable, so resolve before you fetch:

maxpreps_search "myers park" → the school's canonicalUrl
maxpreps_list_teams on that path → real team paths
maxpreps_get_schedule / _roster / _stat_leaders / _standings on a team path

To go the other way — discovering teams and athletes rather than looking one up — maxpreps_get_rankings and maxpreps_get_stat_leaderboard return ranked lists whose entries each carry a teamPath you can feed straight back in. Stat leaderboard paths are not guessable either, so list the categories first.

Prior seasons are a season argument ("25-26"); roughly 20 years are available.

Configuration

Everything is optional — the server works with no configuration at all.

Variable	Default	Purpose
`MAXPREPS_USER_AGENT`	built-in	Override the User-Agent sent to MaxPreps
`MAXPREPS_CACHE_TTL`	`300`	Seconds to reuse a fetched page; `0` disables
`MAXPREPS_MIN_INTERVAL_MS`	`250`	Minimum spacing between requests
`MAXPREPS_TIMEOUT_MS`	`20000`	Per-request timeout

Things worth knowing

These are properties of MaxPreps' data, and each one has bitten a naive reading:

Scores are winner-first in the raw data. MaxPreps renders a loss as "L 20-13" even when the team scored 13. The teamScore / opponentScore fields this server returns are always oriented team-vs-opponent.
Rosters and schedules carry hidden rows. A meaningful minority are flagged deleted and the site does not render them — the 2025-26 Myers Park football roster has 87 entries behind 63 visible players. They are excluded by default.
An out-of-season team is not a broken one. Before opening day the current season legitimately has an empty roster and no results; ask for a prior season.
Search is literal. "myers park" finds the school; "myers park high" finds nothing. Drop qualifiers before concluding a school is absent.
Statewide scoreboards aren't available. / / /scores/ renders its game list client-side from a route that has no server-rendered payload. Per-team schedules are the supported way to get scores; maxpreps_get_rankings is the way to see a whole state's teams at once.

Shell-only alternative

The repo also ships a maxpreps skill (skills/maxpreps/) that reaches the same data through curl + a small decoder, with no server to run. If you only ever use Claude Code on one machine, the skill alone may be all you need; the MCP server is what makes this reachable from claude.ai, a phone, or any other client.

Development

npm install

npm run build npm test

docs/MAXPREPS-API.md pins the captured request/response shapes, the positional key maps, and how to re-derive them if MaxPreps changes its bundle.

Etiquette

This reads an undocumented surface on someone else's site on behalf of one user. Requests are spaced and responses cached by default. Please keep it that way.
