Which clients work with the MCP server?

Anything that speaks MCP — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and orchestration tools like n8n and LangChain. It's JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP, so a custom client is a few lines too.

Does the MCP server use the same key as REST?

Yes. One pk_live_ key works for the MCP server and for direct REST calls, and it meters against the same plan. Get one free in the dashboard.

How are MCP calls billed?

Exactly like REST: each tool call debits credits by market, and the exact cost of a call is returned to the client. Discovery — initialize and tools/list — is free.

AI agents & MCP

Give your agent live odds

Two ways to give an agent access: install the skill, or connect the hosted MCP server. Either way you get the same four tools and the same key, and it works with Claude, Cursor, Cline or anything else that speaks MCP.

Option A · the agent skill

Install the skill

Installs the tools straight into your agent from the public propzapi-skills repo. Pure Python standard library — no dependencies. Set your key first:

export PROPZAPI_KEY=pk_live_…

# Claude Code, Cursor, Cline — the `skills` CLI, straight from GitHub
npx skills add paperandbeyond23-gif/propzapi-skills --all

# OpenClaw / ClawHub
openclaw skills install @paperandbeyond23-gif/propzapi-full

Focused variants: propzapi-props (props + fixtures) and propzapi-odds (game lines + fixtures + books). Browse them on ClawHub.

Option B · hosted MCP server

Connect in one config

A remote MCP server speaking JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP. Drop this into your client's MCP config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline) and swap in your key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "propzapi": {
      "url": "https://api.propzapi.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "pk_live_…" }
    }
  }
}

Endpoint — https://api.propzapi.com/mcp

Transport — streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0)

Auth — X-API-Key: pk_live_…

Discovery (initialize, tools/list) is open and free. Your key is required on tools/call and meters against your plan exactly like the REST API.
