Overview

What is NBA Odds MCP Server?

NBA Odds MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides NBA basketball odds data from The Odds API. It enables large language models (LLMs) like Claude to access real-time NBA betting odds, game schedules, championship odds, and simulation tools. It's intended for users of MCP-compatible clients who want NBA odds and analysis.

How to use NBA Odds MCP Server?

Requires Python 3.10+, a virtual environment, and dependencies (mcp[cli], httpx). Run python nba_odds_server.py after activation, then configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop) by adding the server command and args to claude_desktop_config.json. Ask natural language questions like "What are the current odds for the NBA Championship?" to get odds data.
