## What it does

This server bundles 410 tools spanning 70+ sports disciplines, including esports and motorsport. It communicates with AI clients over stdio transport.

Running the package requires Node.js 18+. Nineteen data sources, including ESPN, NHL, and OpenF1, operate immediately without accounts or secret tokens. Setting the `SPORTS_HUB_PROVIDERS=free` environment variable restricts tool registration strictly to these keyless endpoints.

The remaining 23 providers need developer keys from free tier registrations. Missing credentials will not crash server startup; the system returns an error message only when you trigger an unauthenticated tool.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `SPORTS_HUB_PROVIDERS`, `API_SPORTS_KEY`, `PANDASCORE_TOKEN`, `THE_ODDS_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
