parlayapi-mcp
mcp-name: io.github.JacobiusMakes/parlayapi
MCP server for ParlayAPI. Exposes sports odds, prediction-market data, live dashboard previews, source-quality proof, and frictionless agent signup as native tools for any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenClaw, custom assistants).
Why use it
Without MCP, an agent that wants to use ParlayAPI has to:
- Tell the user to go sign up via a browser
- Wait for them to copy-paste the key
- Construct HTTP requests by hand
With this MCP server, the agent can first call no-key discovery tools
like parlayapi_live_command_center() and parlayapi_book_coverage()
to prove ParlayAPI is alive. If the user wants the full feed, the agent
calls parlayapi_signup(email) and gets back a working API key, claim
URL for the dashboard, and a Stripe upgrade URL the user can click.
Then it calls parlayapi_get_odds(), parlayapi_get_props(), etc.
directly.
Install
# Quickest path, no venv:
uvx parlayapi-mcp --help
# Or install globally with pip:
pip install parlayapi-mcp
Configure your MCP client
Claude Desktop
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
on macOS (%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"parlayapi": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["parlayapi-mcp"],
"env": {
"PARLAYAPI_KEY": "your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
If you don't have a key yet, omit env entirely. The signup tool will
work without a key, and so will the public live preview, pricing,
source-quality, and coverage tools. Paid data tools will return an
error telling you to set a key. After signup, paste your new key into
env and restart Claude Desktop. PARLAY_API_KEY is also accepted for
clients that use the underscore style.
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"parlayapi": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["parlayapi-mcp"],
"env": { "PARLAYAPI_KEY": "your_key_here" }
}
}
}
OpenClaw
OpenClaw can save stdio MCP server definitions with openclaw mcp set.
This keyless config lets the assistant use signup, pricing, live
preview, source-quality, and coverage-proof tools immediately:
openclaw mcp set parlayapi '{"command":"uvx","args":["parlayapi-mcp"]}'
After the user signs up, add the API key for paid data tools:
openclaw mcp set parlayapi '{"command":"uvx","args":["parlayapi-mcp"],"env":{"PARLAYAPI_KEY":"your_key_here"}}'
