```
You:    "What was the closing spread for every Chiefs game last season?"
Claude: [calls get_games -> one call, every game with spread, total and moneyline]

You:    "Which offenses had the best EPA per play on third down in 2025?"
Claude: [calls get_plays with third_down filter -> EPA already attached]
```

## Quick start

This is a hosted (remote) MCP server over Streamable HTTP. There is nothing to install.

**Claude Code**

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http endzoneapi "https://football-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
```

**Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "endzoneapi": {
      "url": "https://football-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}
```

The key can also be sent as an `x-api-key` header or `Authorization: Bearer`. Connecting and listing tools works without a key; calling a tool needs one.

**REST**

```bash
curl -X POST https://football-mcp-production.up.railway.app/v1/list_teams -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
```

Every tool is `POST /v1/{tool}` with a JSON body.
