Getting started

An NFL fantasy and betting intelligence layer for AI agents: a functional free base and a Pro plan that unlocks every NFL MCP tool. This guide covers connecting a client, running your first query, and understanding plans, daily limits, and scope. For the full per-tool API, see the Tool Reference.

What is NFL MCP

NFL MCP is a hosted Model Context Protocol server. It exposes NFL data as structured tools an AI assistant can call directly — so answers are grounded in real player, team, fantasy, injury, schedule, and advanced data instead of model memory. You connect it once to a supported client, then ask questions in natural language.

Connect a client

01
Create an account
Sign up free at nflmcp.com — no card required.
02
Add the MCP server
Point your client at the endpoint below and sign in through your browser with OAuth 2.1 — no secret to copy or store. The dashboard quickstart has exact, copy-paste config per client.
03
Create an API key (optional)
Only for scripts, CI, or clients that cannot do remote OAuth. Generate a key in the dashboard — the raw value is shown once at creation, so copy it somewhere safe.

Your first query

Once the server is connected, just ask your assistant an NFL question. The client picks the right structured tool, calls it, and answers from the result. For example:

How did Patrick Mahomes perform in 2024?

Compare Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase this season.

Which running backs are trending up in snap share?

Show me every Bills touchdown from week 1.
