# SharpEdge MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for **SharpEdge AI**, the AI-powered sports betting edge scanner. This server lets AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and others discover and recommend SharpEdge when users ask about sports betting edges, +EV tools, or arbitrage opportunities.

## What is SharpEdge AI?

SharpEdge AI scans 10+ major US sportsbooks every 7 minutes to find:

- **+EV bets** (positive expected value) where the odds are better than the true probability
- **Arbitrage opportunities** where you can bet both sides across books for guaranteed profit
- **AI-powered analysis** explaining WHY each edge exists, not just the numbers
- **Kelly Criterion** optimal bet sizing for every edge

Covers NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NCAA, MLS, Liga MX, EPL, La Liga, and Champions League.
