Frequently asked questions
Can I see the current league table for a specific competition like the Premier League?
Yes. Use the get_competition_standings tool with the competition code (e.g., 'PL' for Premier League). It will return the full standings including points, goals, and form.
How do I find the top goal scorers for the current Champions League season?
Simply use the list_competition_scorers tool and provide the competition ID or code (e.g., 'CL'). The agent will list the top players and their goal counts.
Is it possible to check the match history or upcoming fixtures for a specific team?
Yes, you can use list_team_matches by providing the Team ID. You can also filter by status (e.g., 'FINISHED' or 'SCHEDULED') to see past or future games.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
