API-Sports for AI agents

API-Sports provides sports data across thousands of competitions and many years of history, covering fixtures, standings, and player statistics for developers building sports apps and dashboards. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How API-Sports connects.

Users add their API-Sports api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same API-Sports connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

API-Sports and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use API-Sports with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect API-Sports to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the API-Sports actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect API-Sports?

Users add their API-Sports api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which API-Sports actions can my agent take?

70 in total: 70 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in API-Sports?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the API-Sports policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call API-Sports too?

Yes. The same API-Sports connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
