Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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 strikerapi https://mcp.strikerapi.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

Common questions

Is StrikerAPI 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?

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/:
