## What it does

This server links your assistant to the SportScore platform for querying sports data. The model can fetch live scores, lineups, tournament standings, and player profiles across football, basketball, cricket, and tennis. No API key is required.

It exposes specialized tools such as `get_matches`, `get_standings`, `get_team_schedule`, and `get_player`. Communication runs through stdio using `npx`, though an optional HTTP mode is also supported. During startup, the process sends an anonymous ping to track platform usage. You can disable this telemetry ping with `SPORTSCORE_NO_TELEMETRY=1`.

The free tier provides around 1000 requests per 24 hours per IP address, with a 60-second edge cache. User-facing outputs must retain the `Powered by SportScore` attribution to comply with the free terms of service.

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