Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that gives an assistant real-time ESPN sports data — scores, standings, boxscores, odds, stats and news across 25+ leagues.

What you can do
Search ESPN for players, teams and leagues, and pull news headlines and rankings (college, UFC, tennis). Retrieve live and recent scoreboards, including a live-updating scoreboard, plus league standings and team lists. Look up team rosters, past and upcoming schedules, and detailed team information. Fetch game summaries with boxscores, player stats, venue and officials, and betting odds from multiple providers. Read athlete profiles, game logs, splits and career stats.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about live or recent games, standings, team and player stats, schedules, rankings or betting odds without leaving the chat. Suited to sports fans and fantasy or betting research rather than data pipelines.
Requirements
A remote SSE endpoint hosted on Apify, reached with an Apify API token supplied in the connection URL. OAuth authentication is declared as required. An Apify account with credits is needed; the README cites a free tier of about $5/month in Apify credits.
Before you install
Usage is billed pay-per-event on Apify: reads cost $0.005 per call and searches $0.01 per call, so heavy querying spends credits. The Apify API token is passed in the URL query string, so treat the full connector URL as a secret. Sports data and odds come from ESPN via a third party.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Mcp Server Espn in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via SSE. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.ebrunet001%2Fmcp-server-espn/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

This server asks for a credential such as an API key, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without one and has not indexed them.
