Notes

Over MCP, ask for it in plain English and the client calls get_game itself. Point any MCP client at https://mcp.strikerapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY.
Each call costs 5 credits, taken before it runs and refunded if the server errors.
Not the call you need? Find the right call by what you are trying to answer.
