SpeechWire MCP Server

License Python PyPI

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with secure, authenticated access to SpeechWire tournament data for speech-and-debate (forensics) competitions.

The server scrapes manage.speechwire.com behind an authenticated session and exposes structured tournament data through MCP tools, enabling AI assistants to help tournament directors manage judge assignments, rooms, teams, entries, and round pairings.

Features

Judge management — list judges, contact info, availability, school associations, judge types, and add new judges
Team & entry data — team rosters, entries by team, hybrid/cross-school entries
Room management — room lists, usage grids, room-vs-section counts
Schematics — event lists, round-by-round pairings with judges, rooms, and competitors
Tournament structure — timeslots, competition groupings
Results — tab sheets with round outcomes, speaker scores, and placements
Account discovery — list and select accounts and tournaments interactively
Session management — automatic re-authentication on session expiry

Installation

pip install speechwire-mcp

Set your SpeechWire credentials as environment variables:
