Frequently asked questions about the TheSportsDB Global Sports Database MCP Server
Can my AI find the history and official badge of a specific team just by its name?
Yes! Use the search_teams tool with the team name. Your agent will respond with complete metadata, founded year, and high-resolution badge URLs in seconds.
How do I check the current standings for a major league like the Premier League?
Simply ask the agent to run the get_league_table tool providing the League ID (e.g., 4328 for Premier League) and the current season. It will compile the full standings with points and goal differences.
Does the integration provide video highlights for recent match events?
Yes. Many event results retrieved via tools like list_last_events_by_team include a strVideo field which contains direct YouTube links to official match highlights when available.
