Yahoo Fantasy MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball and Basketball. Lets Claude analyze your roster, check matchups, browse free agents, and more.

Setup

1. Install dependencies

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Configure Claude Desktop / Claude Code

There are two ways to authenticate — pick one:

Option A: Use a relay server (recommended, no Yahoo app needed)

Point the MCP at a relay server that handles credentials for you:

Claude Desktop (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yahoo-fantasy": {
      "command": "/path/to/yahoo-fantasy-mcp/venv/bin/python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/yahoo-fantasy-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "YAHOO_AUTH_SERVER": "https://your-relay-url.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code (~/.claude.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yahoo-fantasy": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "/path/to/yahoo-fantasy-mcp/venv/bin/python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/yahoo-fantasy-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "YAHOO_AUTH_SERVER": "https://your-relay-url.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Option B: Use your own Yahoo Developer App

1. Go to Yahoo Developer Network and create an app

2. Set Application Type to Installed Application, API Permissions to Fantasy Sports → Read

3. Note your Client ID and Client Secret

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yahoo-fantasy": {
      "command": "/path/to/yahoo-fantasy-mcp/venv/bin/python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/yahoo-fantasy-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "YAHOO_CLIENT_ID": "your_client_id_here",
        "YAHOO_CLIENT_SECRET": "your_client_secret_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. First-time authentication

On first use, just ask Claude anything about your fantasy team. If not authenticated, Claude will automatically start the OAuth flow:

1. A browser window opens to Yahoo's authorization page

2. Click Allow

3. Yahoo displays a code on the page — copy it and give it to Claude

4. Done. The token is saved and auto-refreshed from now on (~1 year before re-auth needed)
