About Sportmonks

Sportmonks is an MCP server for developers and agents that need football data from the Sportmonks Football v3 API. It provides fixture details, live scores, schedules and match outcome probabilities, with both gateway and local stdio options.

Key features

  1. 01Fixture details, stats and events
  2. 02Live match scores and status
  3. 03Fixtures by date
  4. 04Win/draw/loss predictions

Use cases

  1. 01Reviewing a fixture's score and statistics
  2. 02Checking currently live matches
  3. 03Finding matches scheduled on a date
  4. 04Consulting outcome probabilities

MCP support

Exposes Sportmonks Football v3 data tools to MCP clients. It can run through Pipeworx or as a local stdio MCP server.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Run commands in a terminal; paste JSON into the client’s MCP config and restart. Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

mcp-sportmonks

Sportmonks Football MCP — wraps the Sportmonks Football v3 API

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1683+ live data sources.

Tools

ToolDescription
sportmonks_fixtureMatch details + stats for a soccer fixture: score, participants (teams), statistics, and events. Example: sportmonks_fixture({ id: 19146701, _apiKey: "your-token" })
sportmonks_livescoresLive in-play soccer matches now — current minute, state, teams, and running score. Example: sportmonks_livescores({ _apiKey: "your-token" })
sportmonks_fixtures_by_dateSoccer fixtures on a date — every match scheduled/played on a given day with teams and scores. Example: sportmonks_fixtures_by_date({ date: "2026-05-24", _apiKey: "your-token" })
sportmonks_predictionsWin/draw/loss prediction for a fixture — Sportmonks model probabilities for home win, draw, and away win. Example: sportmonks_predictions({ id: 19146701, _apiKey: "your-token" })

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sportmonks": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/sportmonks/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/sportmonks/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1683+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

This pack takes your own API key (_apiKey) — we don't front one for it, so there's no curl here that would run without it. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/sportmonks_fixture. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sportmonks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-sportmonks"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-sportmonks

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Sportmonks data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
