Audit B5 Arena match telemetry inside Claude Desktop

The `get_match_scoreboard` tool pulls raw match data directly into your local Claude Desktop chat window. You get the exact kill-death ratios, ADR, and round-by-round events from your latest B5 Arena pug without opening a browser. This setup lets your agent inspect round outcomes, analyze weapon buy patterns, and spot tactical errors. It feeds the raw stats straight to Claude so you can plan your next match strategy.

Track ELO and hunt player profiles via MCP Server tools

Querying player standings is simple because `get_user_data` retrieves a player's overall competitive standing, win rates, and current divisional rank. When you run this alongside `search_user`, Claude Desktop finds any player in the B5 directory and maps their performance history. Your agent uses these metrics to break down opponent habits before you queue up. You see their actual performance trends right inside your workspace.

Monitor anti-cheat bans and server status

Checking anti-cheat bans is handled by the `get_ban_list` tool, which pulls the latest anti-cheat bans directly from the B5 network using this MCP server. Claude Desktop cross-references these names with your match logs automatically. Running `get_server_status` alongside this lets you verify node latencies before starting a competitive lobby. You avoid high-ping servers by letting Claude check the active node health first.
