MLB SportRadar

MLB SportRadar is an MCP server that connects Claude and other Model Context Protocol clients directly to the SportRadar MLB API v8. It allows sports analysts, baseball enthusiasts, and developers to inspect Major League Baseball statistics, schedules, and active rosters without writing custom API fetching scripts. The integration provides specialized tools to retrieve daily schedules, live game summaries, boxscores, and granular play-by-play data, as well as pitch-level metrics and Statcast tracking figures. Beyond individual games, the server enables users to examine division standings, historical team statistics, complete team hierarchies, and roster updates. Users can also look up detailed player profiles, seasonal batting and pitching splits, league leaders across diverse metrics, injury reports, transaction records, and draft summaries. By exposing SportRadar MLB endpoints through standard MCP tool calls, the server transforms conversational LLM interfaces into specialized baseball research and analytics assistants.
