How it works
AI agent ──MCP over stdio──▶ varzesh3-mcp (your machine) ──HTTPS──▶ web-api.varzesh3.com, search-api.varzesh3.com
The server calls the same public JSON endpoints varzesh3.com's pages use. Requests present a Chrome TLS and header profile
(through curl_cffi), run at most 4 at a time and are cached for 30 seconds. System proxy settings are ignored on purpose;
set VARZESH3_MCP_PROXY if your network needs one.
FAQ
Does it need an account or key? No.
Why do I get HTTP 5xx? Varzesh3's CDN sometimes refuses a network; set VARZESH3_MCP_PROXY=http://host:port to route through another exit.
Are there match statistics (possession, shots)? No, the site does not publish them.
Is it official? No. It is unaffiliated with Varzesh3, reads only what the public site shows, and is meant for personal and research use. Respect the site's terms.

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.
