## 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)

## Install

### How do I install the BirdieAPI MCP server?

BirdieAPI is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.birdieapi.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.

## Common questions

### What is the BirdieAPI MCP server?

BirdieAPI is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.noahowsh/birdieapi. PGA Tour data from 2001: leaderboards, holes, courses, ratings, par-3/4/5 splits, major winner odds. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://mcp.birdieapi.com/mcp).

### Is the BirdieAPI MCP server safe to use?

BirdieAPI scores 87 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the BirdieAPI MCP server expose?

BirdieAPI exposes 14 tools: list_tournaments, get_schedule, get_leaderboard, get_course, search_players, and 9 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,288 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Does the BirdieAPI MCP server require authentication?

Its publisher declares that BirdieAPI requires credentials, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client. We have not been able to confirm that against the live endpoint.

### Is the BirdieAPI MCP server still maintained?

BirdieAPI is still listed in the MCP registry, though our most recent checks did not reach this channel. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
