LiveFPL MCP Server

An MCP server that exposes Fantasy Premier League player price rise/fall predictions from LiveFPL.

The data is served from LiveFPL's public JSON host (https://livefpl.us) — the same endpoints the website itself loads. No account, API key, or authentication is required.

Data source (reverse-engineered)

The https://www.livefpl.net/prices page loads its price-prediction table from:

The league page is server-rendered HTML (no JSON API) — the live gameweek standings are baked into the page, so the server fetches and parses that HTML.

prices.json fields

Keyed by player id. For each player:

• progress — current progress toward a price change, as a fraction of the threshold. Positive ⇒ rising, negative ⇒ falling. +1.0 means a rise is due; -1.0 means a fall is due. Shown on the site as the "Now" column.

• progress_tonight — predicted progress by the next change cutoff. Shown as the "Prediction" column. This is what the tools sort on.

• per_hour — rate of change of progress per hour ("Per hr" column).

• cost, name, team, type (GK/DEF/MID/FW).

Tools

The transfer-trend graph is derived client-side from top_transfers.json (the same way the LiveFPL page builds its bubble chart): per-player net = transfers in − transfers out, node size = total volume, edges = transfer pairs (out → in).

Each player result includes progress_now_pct, prediction_pct, per_hour_pct, direction (rise/fall/stable) and predicted_new_cost.

Install

cd livefpl-mcp
uv sync

Run

uv run livefpl-mcp

The server speaks MCP over stdio.

Claude Desktop / MCP client config

Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livefpl": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["--directory", "C:\\path-to-mcp\\livefpl-mcp", "run", "livefpl-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Example prompts

• "Which FPL defenders are about to rise in price?"

• "Show me the top 10 price fallers tonight."

• "What's the price prediction for Haaland?"

• "What are the most popular transfers right now?"

• "Show the live scores for league 230412."

• "Who's winning gameweek in my league 230412 right now?"

Notes

• Predictions are LiveFPL's, not the official FPL algorithm; accuracy is best on single gameweeks (LiveFPL notes double-gameweek rules are less certain).

• Data is fetched live on each tool call.
