Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 9 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability74
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 949 tokens (~105/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage74
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 22% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the stat-api — Sports Data MCP server?
stat-api — Sports Data is a hosted endpoint at https://api.stat-api.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
api_usage ~41
Your key's quota position: plan, monthly record limit, records used, remaining, and when the quota resets. Requires an API key; costs 1 record.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
describe_table ~87
Full contract for one table: fields with types and descriptions, the filters query_table accepts (with operators like __gte/__lte/__between/__like and required filter combinations), page-size limits, primary key, and a runnable example URL. No credentials needed. Always call this before query_table — filters not listed here are rejected.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| league | string | yes | – |
| table | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
games_on_date ~111
Games scheduled/played on one calendar date (US-Eastern) for nba, mlb, or nhl; defaults to today. Returns the same envelope as query_table on the games table. NFL is week-based, not date-based — for nfl, use query_table on nfl/games with season_id + week filters instead. Requires an API key; rows count against quota.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| date | string | – | YYYY-MM-DD; defaults to today in US-Eastern time |
| league | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_record ~62
Fetch a single row by primary key. Returns the row object. Requires an API key; costs 1 record of quota.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | primary-key value (integer or text PK) |
| league | string | yes | – |
| table | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
graphql_query ~134
Run a GraphQL query against the same data with relations — nest from a game to its teams/players/odds in one call. Root fields are leagues (nfl, nba, …), each exposing its tables with the same filter arguments as REST plus `first`/`after` pagination. Do NOT send introspection queries (the schema is huge) — use describe_table instead; the SDL is at https://api.stat-api.com/api/v1/graphql/sdl. Requires an API key; every row resolved anywhere in the tree counts against quota.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | – |
| variables | object | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_leagues ~60
List every league/data group this API serves (nfl, nba, mlb, nhl, pga, dfs, kalshi, polymarket, reference) with table counts and availability. No credentials needed. Start here, then call list_tables.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_tables ~41
List every queryable table in one league with a one-line summary each. No credentials needed. Follow with describe_table before querying.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| league | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
query_table ~239
Query any table. Returns `{"<table>": [rows], "limit": N, "next_from_id": M|null, "has_more": bool}`. To read every row, start with from_id=0 and re-call with from_id set to the previous next_from_id until it is null. A call without from_id returns the first page in the table's default sort with next_from_id null. filters is a flat object of `field` or `field__op` keys from describe_table (e.g. {"season_id": 2024, "day__between": "20250101,20250131"}). Requires an API key (Authorization: Bearer <key>; free tier at https://stat-api.com). Every returned row counts against the monthly record quota.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filters | object | – | field or field__op keys → scalar values; see describe_table |
| from_id | integer | – | keyset cursor: 0 for the first page of a full walk, then the previous next_from_id |
| league | string | yes | – |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| table | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_players ~78
Fuzzy player-name search (typo-tolerant). Currently NBA only — for other leagues query the players table with a name filter via query_table. Returns player rows ordered by match quality. Requires an API key; rows count against quota.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| league | string | – | – |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| name | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
