cricketstudio-mcp
Citation infrastructure for cricket — 57 MCP tools (incl. a knowledge-graph layer), zero network calls, 2,654 matches, 623,535 deliveries.
What is this?
CricketStudio MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that gives any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT Connectors, and others — structured, citable access to cricket data. Every response carries a canonicalUrl back to players.cricketstudio.ai, an explicit date window, a sample-size count, and a provenance trail to the underlying ball-by-ball corpus. The data is fully bundled in data/snapshot/ — tool answers are computed locally with no data-fetch calls, no API keys, and no rate limits. (The package sends one anonymous startup ping for usage counts; disable it with CRICKETSTUDIO_NO_TELEMETRY=1.)
The corpus covers IPL 2026 (complete season, RCB champions), 18 seasons of IPL history (2007/08–2025), Major League Cricket 2023–2026, WPL 2022/23–2025/26 (Women's Premier League), ICC T20 World Cup (6 editions, 2013/14–2025/26), BBL (Big Bash League, 14+ seasons 2011/12–2025/26), and PSL (Pakistan Super League, 11 seasons 2016–2026) — all from Cricsheet CC BY 3.0. Batting claims require a minimum of 30 balls faced; bowling claims require 15 deliveries. Claims that do not clear those floors are not surfaced.
Installation
Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop config file and restart the app.
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Total corpus: 2,654 matches · 623,535 ball-by-ball deliveries.
Sample-size floors (publicly disclosed):
- Batting claims: ≥30 balls faced
- Bowling claims: ≥15 deliveries
- Venue claims: ≥3 fixtures at the venue
- Trend claims: ≥3 matches forming the pattern
Claims that do not reach these floors are excluded — they are not suppressed with a placeholder, they are simply absent. This is the moat.
Update cadence: the bundled snapshot is refreshed after each CricketStudio data update. Every tool response includes dataAsOf so an LLM citing the answer can disclose freshness explicitly.
Data licence: the bundled data is released under CC BY 4.0. Every tool response includes a canonicalUrl back to players.cricketstudio.ai so attribution flows automatically when an LLM cites an answer.
About this package
This package bundles a pre-computed projection of CricketStudio's public data. Every number here is also readable on the rendered pages at players.cricketstudio.ai — no new information is exposed, only a different (offline, zero-network) access path.
Methodology
Every claim in this package is governed by five non-negotiables:
- Sample-size floors — ≥30 batting balls, ≥15 bowling deliveries, ≥3 venue fixtures, ≥5 H2H deliveries, ≥3 matches for trends. Disclosed publicly on every page.
- Explicit date windows — every claim specifies its window (
ipl-2026,ipl-career,last-N-matches). No "all-time" labels without a defined window. - Provenance to ball-by-ball — every numeric claim traces to a specific match, delivery count, and computation timestamp.
- Atomic claim format — under 30 words, structured as
[Subject] [metric] [value] [comparator] [period]. - Sub-4-hour freshness SLA — for IPL 2026 pages, time from match end to page update is under 4 hours at the 95th percentile.
