SportApp’s MCP connection lets the organizer’s own AI set up a tournament. You describe the tournament in a chat, and the AI creates the divisions, teams, venues and the structure in SportApp. It comes with the API / MCP add-on.
What do I need?
An AI tool that supports remote MCP over HTTP and OAuth sign-in, for example Claude (claude.ai, Desktop or Code), ChatGPT or Cursor. SportApp doesn’t include the AI or pay for it.
How do I connect it?
- Add the address
https://manage.sportapp.io/mcpto your AI tool. - Sign in to SportApp.
- Choose Allow.
The AI works with your rights and only sees the tournaments you can manage. The sign-in lasts 8 hours and renews for 60 days.
What can the AI do?
It reads and writes, but only the tournament setup.
| Tool | What it does | Reads / writes |
|---|---|---|
list_tournaments | Your tournaments and the add-on status. Works without the add-on. | Reads |
get_tournament | Divisions, teams, stages, groups, venues and fields, plus the next setup steps | Reads |
validate_structure | Checks a proposed structure without saving it | Reads |
create_division | Creates a division and its teams, and the structure if you want | Writes |
add_venues | Adds venues and fields | Writes |
create_structure | Builds stages, groups and games. Replaces stages with the same name. | Writes |
What doesn’t it do?
The schedule, results, advancement between stages, registrations, payments and publishing stay in SportApp. For those, the AI gives you a link to the right page. It doesn’t delete anything, except when it replaces a stage with the same name, and new divisions stay hidden until you publish them.
Safeguards
- Everything is checked before saving. If something fails, nothing is saved.
- Up to 200 teams per division and 100 groups per structure.
- 120 calls a minute, 30 of them writes.
What does it cost?
The API / MCP add-on is €49 per tournament. It is available for 60 Teams, 100 Teams, Unlimited and Organizer / Club, not for Free. Turn it on from the Update package page; the key and the MCP address are on the tournament’s API & MCP page.
