Football Docs

Name: Football Docs
Author: LLM Mart

No install snippet on purpose. A working MCP config is a command, its arguments and an environment block — the last two are where API keys live, so this catalogue never stores them and cannot publish them. Follow the link above for the authors' own instructions.

Searchable football data provider and tooling documentation for AI coding agents. Like Context7 for football data.

Who it's for: Developers and analysts who use AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot) to work with football data. Works with any tool that supports MCP.

What it does: Gives your AI agent a searchable index of documentation for 24 football data providers and tools — event types, qualifier IDs, coordinate systems, API endpoints, data models, identity surfaces, and cross-provider comparisons for the data providers (StatsBomb, Opta, Wyscout, Impect, SkillCorner, Sportradar, TheSportsDB, FMDB Pro, TransferRoom, and more), plus the open-source libraries people build with (kloppy, mplsoccer, socceraction, soccerdata, floodlight, fast-forward, unravelsports, and more). Your agent looks up the real docs instead of guessing from training data.

Why not just let the AI figure it out? LLMs get football data specifics wrong constantly — Opta qualifier IDs, StatsBomb coordinate ranges, API endpoint URLs, library method signatures. These are mutable facts that change across versions. football-docs gives the agent verified, sourced documentation with provenance tracking so you know where every answer came from.

Strategy

football-docs is intended to be a community-owned, source-transparent Context7 for football data. The public operating contract is in STRATEGY.md: what belongs here, what must stay out, how we handle public-safe provider facts, and how contributors should prove retrieval quality.

Provider identity facts

football-docs is the public source for provider identity-surface facts: access shape, ID schemes, matching fields, provider quirks, and provenance rules. Curated provider identity notes belong here when they can be stated as public facts about the provider. They should say whether a fact comes from public docs, public page evidence, licensed feed shape, or a reviewed public-safe observation, and must not include credentials, local paths, internal tooling details, or restricted payloads from any private project.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard for connecting AI coding tools to external data sources.

Quick start

Claude Code

claude mcp add football-docs -- npx -y football-docs

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add server. Use this config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "football-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "football-docs"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code / Copilot

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "football-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "football-docs"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "football-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "football-docs"]
    }
  }
}
