## What is this?

CricketStudio MCP is a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that gives any MCP-compatible AI client — Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT Connectors, and others — structured, citable access to cricket data. Every response carries a `canonicalUrl` back to `players.cricketstudio.ai`, an explicit date window, a sample-size count, and a provenance trail to the underlying ball-by-ball corpus. The data is fully bundled in `data/snapshot/` — tool answers are computed locally with no data-fetch calls, no API keys, and no rate limits. (The package sends one anonymous startup ping for usage counts; disable it with `CRICKETSTUDIO_NO_TELEMETRY=1`.)

The corpus covers **IPL 2026** (complete season, RCB champions), **18 seasons of IPL history** (2007/08–2025), **Major League Cricket 2023–2026**, **WPL 2022/23–2025/26** (Women's Premier League), **ICC T20 World Cup** (6 editions, 2013/14–2025/26), **BBL** (Big Bash League, 14+ seasons 2011/12–2025/26), and **PSL** (Pakistan Super League, 11 seasons 2016–2026) — all from Cricsheet CC BY 3.0. Batting claims require a minimum of 30 balls faced; bowling claims require 15 deliveries. Claims that do not clear those floors are not surfaced.

## Data

| Source | Coverage | License |
|---|---|---|
| Licensed feed | IPL 2026 ball-by-ball (complete season — RCB champions) | Proprietary |
| Cricsheet | IPL historical, 18 seasons, 1,169 matches (2007/08–2025) | CC BY 3.0 |
| Cricsheet | MLC 2023–2026, 75 matches | CC BY 3.0 |
| Cricsheet | WPL 2022/23–2025/26, 88 matches, 133 players | CC BY 3.0 |
| Cricsheet | ICC T20 World Cup, 6 editions, 230 matches, 687 players | CC BY 3.0 |
| Cricsheet | BBL 2011/12–2025/26, 662 matches, 529 players | CC BY 3.0 |
| Cricsheet | PSL 2016–2026, 357 matches, 458 players | CC BY 3.0 |

**Total corpus:** 2,654 matches · 623,535 ball-by-ball deliveries.

**Sample-size floors (publicly disclosed):**
- Batting claims: ≥30 balls faced
- Bowling claims: ≥15 deliveries
- Venue claims: ≥3 fixtures at the venue
- Trend claims: ≥3 matches forming the pattern

Claims that do not reach these floors are excluded — they are not suppressed with a placeholder, they are simply absent. This is the moat.

**Update cadence:** the bundled snapshot is refreshed after each CricketStudio data update. Every tool response includes `dataAsOf` so an LLM citing the answer can disclose freshness explicitly.

**Data licence:** the bundled data is released under CC BY 4.0. Every tool response includes a `canonicalUrl` back to `players.cricketstudio.ai` so attribution flows automatically when an LLM cites an answer.

## About this package

This package bundles a pre-computed projection of CricketStudio's public data. Every number here is also readable on the rendered pages at `players.cricketstudio.ai` — no new information is exposed, only a different (offline, zero-network) access path.

---

## Methodology

Every claim in this package is governed by five non-negotiables:

1. **Sample-size floors** — ≥30 batting balls, ≥15 bowling deliveries, ≥3 venue fixtures, ≥5 H2H deliveries, ≥3 matches for trends. Disclosed publicly on every page.
2. **Explicit date windows** — every claim specifies its window (`ipl-2026`, `ipl-career`, `last-N-matches`). No "all-time" labels without a defined window.
3. **Provenance to ball-by-ball** — every numeric claim traces to a specific match, delivery count, and computation timestamp.
4. **Atomic claim format** — under 30 words, structured as `[Subject] [metric] [value] [comparator] [period]`.
5. **Sub-4-hour freshness SLA** — for IPL 2026 pages, time from match end to page update is under 4 hours at the 95th percentile.

## Local development

```bash
npm install
npm run typecheck       # tsc --noEmit
npm start               # stdio MCP server via tsx
```

Smoke-test without an MCP client — spawns the server over stdio, drives it with JSON-RPC, and asserts every advertised tool returns a non-error payload with `dataAsOf`:

```bash
npm run smoke
```
