Skills

The skills/ folder holds 16 Claude skills that turn Claude into a soccer analyst on top of these tools: match lookup, team and player analysis, odds comparison, xG and shot maps, Elo, Poisson and Dixon-Coles score models, three-way devigging, calibration, edge detection, backtesting and anytime goalscorer modeling. Each skill names the exact tools it calls and what they cost.

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

Or install them as a Claude Code plugin:

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

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

Then point Claude at the skills/ folder (for Claude Code, copy or symlink the folders into ~/.claude/skills/) and connect the server below. Start with dispatch if you are unsure which skill to use. 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 strikerapi "https://mcp.strikerapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "strikerapi": {
      "url": "https://mcp.strikerapi.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.strikerapi.com/v1/list_teams -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

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