# baseball-mcp: An MLB Stats API Wrapper for MCP

This project provides an MCP (Multi-Channel Pipeline) server that acts as a wrapper for the MLB Stats API.  It allows you to easily access and process various MLB data points, including schedules, game results, and team information.  This server is designed for efficient data retrieval and processing within an MCP framework.

## Demo Videos

Here are a couple of demo videos showcasing the capabilities of `mcp_mlb_statsapi`:

## Features

* **Game Schedules:** Retrieve MLB game schedules for specified date ranges, optionally filtering by team.
* **Game Results:** Fetch daily game results, including scores, winning/losing teams, and winning pitcher.
* **Team Results:** Get detailed results for a specific team's most recent game, including scoring plays and highlights.
* **Player Lookup:** Look up player IDs using last name, first name, or a combination of both.  Supports fuzzy matching.
