# Sports MCP Server

> Sports MCP Server 1.4.1 is a stateless MCP server for sports truth, watchability, program context, and bounded sports bundles.

# Sports MCP Server

This documentation covers the Gracenote Sports MCP Server, its public tool surface, its source-ownership model, and the recommended integration paths for MCP hosts and clients.

## What This Docs Set Covers

### Server responsibilities

* Read-only sports retrieval through MCP
* Public tool definitions and argument validation
* Bounded cross-source retrieval
* Deterministic envelopes with explicit `partial`, `limitations`, `missingSections`, and `sources`

### Source ownership

* `GSD Lookup` for deep sports truth
* Dedicated availability contract for grounded where-to-watch flows
* `On Programs` for program-first sports context
* `SportsEventCurrent` only for freshness on already linked watch/program rows
* `GSD Metadata` for bounded enrichment

### Common product jobs

* Resolve sports entities and IDs
* Browse league, team, and tour schedules
* Read standings, rankings, and event detail
* Ask where to watch a known game, event, or competition
* Build bounded competition hubs, series hubs, and event-center views

## Current Surface

Sports MCP Server `1.4.1` exposes a `24`-tool public catalog. The server remains stateless and read-only, and it does not turn itself into the host, client, or assistant layer.

The host or client still owns:

* deciding which tool to call
* orchestration across multiple tool calls
* comparison logic
* permissions and review flow
* end-user wording and presentation
