Short answer

How can I track tournament standings and brackets with my AI?

Your AI uses the Start.gg MCP to pull specific event IDs, current standings, and individual set results. You can ask for real-time updates on specific players or bracket progress through your chat interface.

Tournament data outcomes

What you can track

The AI pulls specific data points from Start.gg to answer your questions.

LIVE DATA

Real-time standings

The AI pulls current rankings and placements for any active event. You get immediate updates on who is leading the pack.

MATCH INFO

Specific set results

Your agent can look up the outcome of individual matches. This lets you track specific player runs through the bracket.

EVENT ID

Targeted event tracking

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI follows a sequence to turn a question into specific tournament data.

  1. Identify the event

    Your agent first finds the unique identifier for the tournament you are asking about.

  2. Fetch rankings

    Once the event is identified, the AI pulls the current leaderboard and player placements.

  3. Check match history
