Auth

The free public tier uses API key 3 (well-known, no signup required). Pipeworx defaults to this. For higher rate limits / extra endpoints register at https://www.thesportsdb.com/ and BYO via ?_apiKey=<key>.

Data source

https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/<apiKey>/

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thesportsdb": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/thesportsdb/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Thesportsdb data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
