    "strikerapi": {

In ChatGPT, add it as a custom connector (developer mode) with the server URL https://mcp.strikerapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY. Listing tools works without a key; calling one needs it.

Ask it things like

“Show Arsenal's shot map this season and how their xG compares with goals scored.”
“Who leads the Premier League in non-penalty expected goals per 90 minutes this season?”
“What were each sportsbook's closing home, draw and away prices for the last north London derby?”
“Rank the Champions League clubs by our Elo and show who they meet next.”

Questions

What is the StrikerAPI MCP server?

A hosted Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.strikerapi.com/mcp. Add that URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and the assistant can call 17 read-only soccer data tools directly: no scraping, no local install.

Do I need to run anything locally?

No. It is a remote server over Streamable HTTP. Your client connects to one URL and sends your API key as an x-api-key header or a ?key= parameter.

What does it cost?

Every account starts with 500 free credits and no card. Tools cost 1 to 10 credits a call, a call that returns no data is refunded, and plans start at $19/month for 10,000 credits.

Is it the same data as the REST API?

Yes. Every MCP tool is also a REST endpoint with the same arguments and response, so an agent prototype and production code read identical data.

Which clients work?

Anything that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT (connectors), Cursor, Cline, Windsurf and agent frameworks with an MCP client. It is also listed on the official MCP Registry, Smithery and Glama.
