Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

PGA Tour data from 2001: leaderboards, holes, courses, ratings, par-3/4/5 splits, major winner odds.

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.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: x-api-key

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http birdieapi https://mcp.birdieapi.com/mcp --header 'x-api-key: your-value'

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": {
    "birdieapi": {
      "url": "https://mcp.birdieapi.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "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": {
    "birdieapi": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.birdieapi.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "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 address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Common questions

Is BirdieAPI 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?

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 21 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?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Fomu MCP

BirdieAPI MCP server

The golf data API. PGA Tour leaderboards with finishing positions, earnings and points, round scores and hole-by-hole scorecards, courses with par and yardage per hole, player and course history, our own strokes-versus-field rating, par-3/4/5 scoring splits and the winner prices of the four men's majors by sportsbook. The LPGA, LIV, the DP World Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour use the same tools. REST API and MCP server. 500 free credits every month, no card.

Website: https://birdieapi.com · Docs: https://birdieapi.com/docs · Get a key: https://birdieapi.com/signup

You:    "How did Scottie Scheffler score on each hole of the 2025 Masters?"

Claude: [calls get_scorecard]

You: "Which players have the best record at Pebble Beach since 2010?" Claude: [calls get_course_history]

You: "What did sportsbooks price Scottie Scheffler to win the 2025 Masters?" Claude: [calls get_winner_odds]

Run it locally (stdio)

Most clients connect to https://mcp.birdieapi.com/mcp directly. For a client that launches a local process instead:

git clone https://github.com/noahowsh/birdieapi-mcp.git && cd birdieapi-mcp && npm install

BIRDIEAPI_API_KEY=your_key node index.js

{ "mcpServers": { "birdieapi": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/birdieapi-mcp/index.js"], "env": { "BIRDIEAPI_API_KEY": "your_key" } } } }

It forwards to the hosted server with your key, so every tool and credit cost is the same.

Skills

Sixteen free Claude skills in skills/ turn Claude into a golf analyst on top of these tools: tournament and player lookups, strokes-versus-field ratings, par-3/4/5 and hole-by-hole scoring, course fit, a tournament simulation, odds math for the four majors' outright markets, and the methodology (leak-free features, walk-forward validation, calibration, edge detection, backtesting) to test your own models.

git clone https://github.com/noahowsh/birdieapi-mcp.git

Or install them as a Claude Code plugin:

/plugin marketplace add noahowsh/birdieapi-mcp

/plugin install birdieapi-skills@birdieapi

Or with the skills CLI: npx skills add noahowsh/birdieapi-mcp.

Point Claude at the skills/ folder, connect the MCP server below for live data (500 free credits every month, no card), and ask a question. Start with the dispatch skill if you are not sure which one fits. The full catalog is in skills/README.md.

Python

The official Python client is on PyPI: birdieapi.

pip install birdieapi

export BIRDIEAPI_API_KEY=sk_live_...

from birdieapi import Client

client = Client()

events = client.list_tournaments(status="final", limit=3)["tournaments"] for e in events: print(e["tournament_id"], e["name"], e["winner_name"], e["winning_to_par"])

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 birdieapi "https://mcp.birdieapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients

{

"mcpServers": { "birdieapi": { "url": "https://mcp.birdieapi.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.birdieapi.com/v1/list_tournaments -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.
  • examples/python/golf_major_leaderboard_and_odds.py: One major, before and after.
