A solo builder wrapped live sports odds in MCP so agents stop hallucinating lines
The author built an MCP server on top of a sports odds API so an LLM can fetch current NBA, MLB, NHL, or soccer boards instead of inventing numbers from training data.
The server exposes four tools:
- getodds for moneylines, spreads, and totals
- getprops for player props
- getevents for fixtures and scores
- getbooks for coverage
It is hosted over streamable HTTP, uses the same key for REST and MCP, and includes a free tier with 750 calls per month. The builder says the main benefit is seeing a model de-vig a market after actually fetching live odds.
