Skills

Sixteen Claude skills that turn Claude into an MMA analyst wired to these tools: fight and card lookup, fighter scouting, per-round striking and grappling rates, Elo by weight class, odds comparison and devigging, favourite calibration, edge detection and backtesting. They are plain SKILL.md files in skills/.

git clone https://github.com/noahowsh/fighterapi-mcp

Or install them as a Claude Code plugin:

/plugin marketplace add noahowsh/fighterapi-mcp
/plugin install fighterapi-skills@fighterapi

Or with the skills CLI: npx skills add noahowsh/fighterapi-mcp.

Point Claude at the skills/ folder (for Claude Code, copy or symlink the skill folders into ~/.claude/skills/ or a project's .claude/skills/), connect the MCP server below, and ask. Start with skills/dispatch if you are unsure which skill fits. Full catalog: skills/README.md.

Quick start

This is a hosted (remote) MCP server over Streamable HTTP. There is nothing to install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http fighterapi "https://mcp.fighterapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fighterapi": {
      "url": "https://mcp.fighterapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}

The key can also be sent as an x-api-key header or Authorization: Bearer. Connecting and listing tools works without a key; calling a tool needs one.

REST

curl -X POST https://mcp.fighterapi.com/v1/list_events -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Every tool is POST /v1/{tool} with a JSON body.

Examples

Runnable Python (standard library only) and Node 18+ (no dependencies) examples live in examples/:

• examples/python/quickstart.py and examples/node/quickstart.mjs: schedule plus a headline call.
• examples/python/mmafighterrecordandodds.py: A fighter profile (UFC record by method, Elo, career strike and takedown rates), their recent fights with the median closing line, and every sportsbook's open and close moneyline for their latest fight.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
