Integration with Super Agents

This MCP is designed to be easily integrated with AI agents or super agents. An agent can make JSON-RPC requests to interact with this MCP and retrieve NFL transaction data based on user queries.

Example agent integration:

# Example of an agent calling the MCP
import json
import subprocess

def call_mcp(method, params=None):
    request = {
        "jsonrpc": "2.0",
        "method": method,
        "params": params or {},
        "id": 1
    }
    
    # Call the MCP via cursor
    cmd = ["cursor", "run-mcp", "nfl-transactions"]
    proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, text=True)
    
    # Send the request and get the response
    response, _ = proc.communicate(json.dumps(request))
    return json.loads(response)

# Example: Get Patriots injury transactions from 2023
result = call_mcp("fetch_transactions", {
    "start_date": "2023-01-01",
    "end_date": "2023-12-31",
    "transaction_type": "Injury",
    "team": "Patriots"
})

print(f"Found {len(result['data'])} transactions")
