Mcp Server Espn
Connects Claude directly to ESPN's sports data without needing an official API key. Exposes 12 tools covering live scoreboards, standings, boxscores, betting odds, player stats, team rosters, schedules, rankings, and news across 25+ leagues including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Premier League, and UFC. Runs as a hosted Apify actor using SSE transport, so you just add the remote URL with your Apify token and start asking about game scores or LeBron's stats. Pricing is pay-per-call on Apify's platform at half a cent for reads like scores and standings. Useful when you want real-time sports data in your Claude workflow without building scrapers or managing API credentials yourself.
