## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 57/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 10 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1033 tokens (~103/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 75/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 24% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (10)

### `list_leagues` (~60 tokens)

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.

### `list_tables` (~41 tokens)

List every queryable table in one league with a one-line summary each. No credentials needed. Follow with describe_table before querying.

Input parameters:

- `league` (string, required)

### `describe_table` (~87 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `league` (string, required)
- `table` (string, required)

### `query_table` (~189 tokens)

Query any table. Returns `{"<table>": [rows], "limit": N, "next_from_id": M|null}`; page by re-calling with from_id set to the previous next_from_id until it is 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.

Input parameters:

- `filters` (object): field or field__op keys → scalar values; see describe_table
- `from_id` (integer): keyset cursor from next_from_id
- `league` (string, required)
- `limit` (integer)
- `table` (string, required)

### `get_record` (~62 tokens)

Fetch a single row by primary key. Returns the row object. Requires an API key; costs 1 record of quota.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): primary-key value (integer or text PK)
- `league` (string, required)
- `table` (string, required)

### `search_players` (~78 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `league` (string)
- `limit` (integer)
- `name` (string, required)

### `games_on_date` (~111 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string): YYYY-MM-DD; defaults to today in US-Eastern time
- `league` (string, required)

### `game_markets` (~125 tokens)

Prediction-market contracts attached to one sporting event: Kalshi events+markets and/or Polymarket events+markets linked via (league_code, competition_id). game_id is the game's id from the league's games table (golf: the tournament id). Returns `{"kalshi": {events, markets}, "polymarket": {events, markets}}` (only the requested sources). Requires an API key; all returned rows count against quota.

Input parameters:

- `game_id` (integer, required)
- `league` (string, required)
- `source` (string): omit for both

### `graphql_query` (~134 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required)
- `variables` (object)

### `api_usage` (~41 tokens)

Your key's quota position: plan, monthly record limit, records used, remaining, and when the quota resets. Requires an API key; costs 1 record.
