Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 5 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Tracking live scores used to require toggling between a dozen different sites., Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

You open your browser, and before you even check one score, you've opened ESPN, Yahoo Sports, OddsChecker, the league's official site—the whole damn thing. You copy-paste dates, switch tabs to see if the odds changed, and by the time you get a full picture, half an hour has passed.

With TheRundown MCP Server, your agent handles the multi-source check in one go. You just ask: 'What's the score for this game?' and it uses `list_events_by_sport` or `get_event`, giving you the live status directly back to your chat window.

TheRundown MCP Server: Check odds, schedules, and scores in one prompt.

Manually gathering a full season's worth of data—checking the league calendar, finding IDs for each sport, and then running multiple queries just to build a schedule—is a massive time sink. You spend more time on API calls than you do analyzing the results.

Now, your AI agent does it all. It uses `get_sport_schedule` or `list_events_by_sport`, compiling an accurate, structured calendar view for multiple sports and dates with zero manual effort from you.

What your AI can actually do with this

You're hooking up TheRundown to your AI client, so you can pull real-time sports data—betting odds, scores, schedules for NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and more. You don't gotta leave your chat window to check a score or compare lines across books.

To get started, you first need to know what we cover. Use list_sports to grab a list of all supported sports; that tells you the sport names and their unique IDs—like knowing NFL is ID 2.

Need to track something today? You can use list_events_by_sport to pull up every single event happening for a specific sport on a given date. This tool doesn't just give you titles; it lets you optionally ask for scores or even period-by-period breakdowns of the action.

If you zero in on one game, you have two deep dives. First, use get_event to pull detailed metadata about that specific sporting event using its unique ID. This gives you everything—like who's playing and where it is. Second, if you wanna know what the money says, run get_event_odds. This fetches the current betting lines and odds from multiple sportsbooks so you can compare spreads and totals instantly.

For planning ahead or tracking a season, forget scrolling through ten different websites. Just ask for the full calendar by using get_sport_schedule to get the upcoming game schedule for an entire sport. This lets you map out the whole season progress right in your conversation thread.

These tools let you check live scores and compare odds or plan out entire season schedules without leaving your chat interface.

Questions you might have

How do I find out what sports TheRundown supports? +

Use the list_sports tool. This call returns a structured list of every supported league (NFL, NBA, MLB, etc.) and their unique corresponding IDs for you to use in later queries.

Can I check betting odds for an event using get_event_odds? +

Yes. You must first obtain the specific event ID—for example, from running list_events_by_sport—and then pass that exact number to the get_event_odds tool.

Is get_sport_schedule for live scores? +

No. get_sport_schedule shows upcoming games across a whole season. For real-time or recent scores, you need to use list_events_by_sport, which accepts a specific date.

What if I only want the NBA schedule for next week? +

You can run two tools back-to-back. First, confirm the sport ID with list_sports. Then, use the correct ID and the target date in get_sport_schedule to pull exactly what you need.

If I run get_event with an invalid ID, what error message do I receive? +

The API returns a specific 'Not Found' error code. This means the unique event identifier you provided does not exist in TheRundown database or is malformed.

Are there rate limits when calling list_events_by_sport? +

The server handles high-volume querying, but extremely rapid calls can trigger temporary throttling. We advise spacing out your requests for reliable performance.

What kind of detailed metadata does get_event provide beyond just the scores? +

It pulls comprehensive data including venue details, period-by-period score breakdowns, and team statistics necessary for deep performance modeling. This goes far beyond simple final scores.

How do I use list_events_by_sport to find an event ID so I can check odds with get_event_odds? +

First, run list_events_by_sport for the desired date and sport. Then, take one of the resulting unique IDs and input it directly into the get_event_odds tool.

How do I find the correct ID for a specific sport like NFL or NBA? +

Use the list_sports tool. It will return a complete list of all supported sports along with their corresponding IDs (e.g., NFL is 2, NBA is 4).

Can I see the betting odds from different sportsbooks for a single game? +

Yes! By using the get_event_odds tool with a specific event ID, the agent will fetch the latest lines and odds from various available sportsbooks.

How can I check the upcoming schedule for a specific league? +

You can use the get_sport_schedule tool. Just provide the sport ID, and it will return the upcoming games and events scheduled for that sport.
