Summary
Connects Claude to the KingsPlaybook sports data API via five tools: confirmed lineups for NBA/MLB/NHL games, raw player projections from their engine, aggregated betting lines across sportsbooks, historical pick performance with closing lines, and data freshness signals. Runs locally through stdio, wraps their REST API without caching. You configure it with an API key from kingsplaybook.org/devs and it shows up as native tools in your agent. Useful if you're building betting models, analyzing prop values, or automating lineup-dependent research. Free tier gets you lineups, paid tiers unlock projections and lines. Same data as their web API, different protocol.

The official MCP server for the KingsPlaybook Developer API. It gives an AI agent — one building a sports-betting bot, a model, or an analytics tool — direct access to KingsPlaybook's data as native tools:
- Confirmed lineups — NBA, MLB, NHL
- Player projections — the projection engine's raw output
- Canonical game lines — moneyline / spread / total, aggregated across books
- Pick-history archive — the publicly-posted record, with results + closing lines
It's a thin local (stdio) wrapper over the /v1 REST API.
Same data, second protocol.
