Dev builds a free read-only MCP server answering "which sports odds API should I use?"
SportsApis · reddit · 2026-11-01
A developer wrapped his sports odds/data API directory into a free, stateless, read-only MCP server (no key, no OAuth) with three tools: find, compare, and detail lookup for providers. Notable build notes: one Vercel function, no database (data regenerated as a JS module per commit), dual support for both the 2026-07-28 MCP spec and the legacy initialize handshake (ChatGPT still uses the old one), and a free-tier filter that weeded out 19 fake-free options (16 trials, one no-API account, one paused signups, one traffic-gated). One-line Claude Code install plus configs for Cursor, VS Code, and Claude Desktop; some links carry referral tags.
