Overview

What is Pybaseball MCP Server?

Pybaseball MCP Server is a FastAPI-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes MLB and Fangraphs baseball data via the pybaseballstats library. It is intended for developers and applications that need programmatic access to baseball statistics through an MCP interface.

How to use Pybaseball MCP Server?

Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, then start the server with uvicorn main:app --reload. The server provides three HTTP GET endpoints: /player (Statcast data by name), /team_stats (team batting or pitching stats by team and year), and /leaderboard (MLB leaderboard by stat, season, and league). For an MCP STDIO interface, run the FastAPI server and then execute python mcp_stdio_wrapper.py.
