SportWizzard MCP Server

Query live sports-betting data — odds, player props, +EV edges, arbitrage, stats and reference data from 35+ sportsbooks and DFS apps — from any MCP-capable AI agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, …).

20 read-only tools over the SportWizzard REST v1 API, available two ways: a hosted remote server (zero install) and a stdio server via npx. Get a free API key at https://sportwizzard.com/account (API Keys tab — no card required).

Hosted (recommended — zero install)

claude mcp add --transport http sportwizzard https://mcp.sportwizzard.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sw_live_your_api_key_here"
codex mcp add sportwizzard --transport http --url https://mcp.sportwizzard.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sw_live_your_api_key_here"

The hosted server is a thin proxy: your key is forwarded to the SportWizzard API, which enforces auth and rate limits. All 20 tools work on both transports. (download_snapshot on the hosted server returns a CDN download URL + a ready-to-run command your agent executes locally; on stdio it writes the file directly.)

Stdio (local)

npx -y sportwizzard-mcp

Claude Code:

claude mcp add sportwizzard -e SPORTWIZZARD_API_KEY=sw_live_your_api_key_here -- npx -y sportwizzard-mcp

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json — macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sportwizzard": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "sportwizzard-mcp"],
      "env": { "SPORTWIZZARD_API_KEY": "sw_live_your_api_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Mock mode (no key, no network)

Set SPORTWIZZARD_MOCK=1 to get canned sample responses — useful for wiring up an integration before you have a key.

Configuration

Env varDefaultPurpose
SPORTWIZZARD_API_KEY(none)Your API key, sent as X-Api-Key.
SPORTWIZZARD_BASE_URLhttps://api.sportwizzard.comOverride the API base URL.
SPORTWIZZARD_MOCK(off)1 = canned sample data, no network.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
list_events / get_eventEvents/fixtures — filter by league, team, status, time; full detail incl. weather, lineups, probable pitchers.
get_event_statsBox score: every player's stat line + team results for one event.
get_odds / get_event_odds / get_player_odds / get_team_oddsCurrent prices, scoped by event, player, team, sportsbook, market, or league. get_odds also takes scope: event (game markets), season (season-long futures), tournament (golf/tennis outrights); omit for all.
get_edges+EV edges vs. devigged fair market (league, source, min_edge filters).
get_arbitrageArbitrage opportunities with legs and stake fractions (two/three-way).
list_players / list_teams / get_player_stats / get_team_statsReference data and season/historical stats.
get_player_game_logsBulk per-game stat rows — the model-training feed.
download_snapshotSave the full live board to disk (tens of MB gzip). include_history: true also populates every selection's priceHistory (same schema; 5 credits flat vs 1).
list_sportsbooks / list_leagues / list_markets / statusCoverage: books, leagues, market types, live counts.
get_account_usageYour plan tier, rate limit, and monthly usage.

Every response uses the envelope { success, data, nextCursor, meta }; when nextCursor is present the tool appends a _paging hint so agents know to continue.

Futures (season-scope markets)

get_odds with scope=season returns season-long futures — division/conference/championship winners, award odds, team win totals, season leaders and full-season player props. Three orthogonal axes describe them:

  • marketScope — which anchor the market hangs off: SEASON or TOURNAMENT. Omitted entirely on ordinary game rows.
  • period — the window within that anchor: REG_SEASON (settles at the end of the regular season) or FULL (runs through the playoffs).
  • segment — which slice of the competition: AFC_EAST, NL, SEC, … Present only when the market is segment-scoped, and load-bearing: all 32 NFL DIVISION_WINNER selections share one season-anchor eventId, so without segment they read as a single 32-team race instead of 8 divisions.

Notes: winner/award markets are categorical (one YES selection per competitor, teamSide: "NONE", usually no NO side); eventStartTime on a futures row is the season anchor / settlement date, not a kickoff; every book's futures for a competition share the same season eventId; and futures are deliberately excluded from get_edges / get_arbitrage (they never enter de-vig or edge math). Scope matching is exact — season does not include TOURNAMENT — and an invalid value returns HTTP 400 naming the valid ones.
