kingsplaybook-mcp

The official MCP server for the KingsPlaybook Developer API. It gives an AI agent — one building a sports-betting bot, a model, or an analytics tool — direct access to KingsPlaybook's data as native tools:

• Confirmed lineups — NBA, MLB, NHL

• Player projections — the projection engine's raw output

• Canonical game lines — moneyline / spread / total, aggregated across books

• Pick-history archive — the publicly-posted record, with results + closing lines

It's a thin local (stdio) wrapper over the /v1 REST API. Same data, second protocol.

Sign up at kingsplaybook.org/devs. The Free tier covers lineups; paid tiers add projections, lines, and history. Your key looks like kp_live_….

Install

No install step — run it straight from npm with npx. Add it to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kingsplaybook": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "kingsplaybook-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "KINGSPLAYBOOK_API_KEY": "kp_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

That's it — the agent now has the KingsPlaybook tools.

Tools

Every tool returns JSON. Calling a tool above your plan tier returns a clear 403 message with an upgrade link.
