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: Games, sports, food & learning
  • 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 football https://sportapi.ai/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": {
    "football": {
      "url": "https://sportapi.ai/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": {
    "football": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://sportapi.ai/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.

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.

  • find_leagues

    List covered leagues and cups with their ids. Optionally filter by a name or country fragment (e.g. "premier", "spain", "champions"). Use the id with the other tools.

  • find_teams

    Search teams by name (e.g. "arsenal", "real madrid"). Returns team ids, country and main league id for the other tools.

  • find_players

    Search players by name (e.g. "saka", "haaland"). Returns player ids, position, team id and the slug used by get_player.

  • get_matches

    Fixtures and results for one day, optionally for one league or only live/finished/upcoming matches. Status is one of Scheduled, LIVE, HT, FT, AET, PENS, Postponed, Cancelled, Suspended.

  • get_live_matches

    Matches being played right now with the current score and minute. Scores refresh every minute.

  • get_match

    One match: teams, score, venue, coaches and events (goals, cards, substitutions). Optionally team statistics and lineups (each adds one request). Lineups and stats exist only for competitions covered in detail.

  • get_head_to_head

    Past matches between two teams.

  • get_standings

    Current table with season, points, goals and form (last 6 matches, oldest first). Leagues split into conferences or zones mark each row with its group; cups return their group tables. Knockout-only cups return nothing.

  • get_league

    A league with its teams (ids), upcoming fixtures and recent results.

  • get_top_players

    Top scorers, assist leaders or most-carded players of a league this season.

  • get_team

    A team by id or slug (e.g. "arsenal") with recent and upcoming matches. Optionally the squad (player slugs) and trophies (each adds one request; the slug form already includes the squad).

  • get_player

    Player profile by slug (e.g. "bukayo-saka"): position, nationality, season stats, recent matches and next match.

  • get_player_match_stats

    Per-match statistics and totals for a player, found by name and team id.

Common questions

Is SportAPI Football Data safe?

It passed 2 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 (1.1.0) reached the registry 19 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: CardWorthScanner — TCG Price, Centering & PSA Grading ROI Engine, Steam Reviews, California Licensing Education
