## Documentation

## What the jordanlyall/wc26-mcp MCP server does

The jordanlyall/wc26-mcp MCP server gives MCP-compatible clients structured information about the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Its 18 tools cover the tournament schedule, qualified teams, groups, stadiums, host cities, fan zones, visa information, historical matchups, injuries, odds, news, group power rankings, and the knockout bracket.

The dataset includes 104 matches, 48 teams, 16 venues across the United States, Mexico, and Canada, 16 city guides, 34 historical matchups, 18 fan-zone entries, and visa entries for confirmed nationalities. Team records can include FIFA rankings, confederation, coach, playing style, key players, World Cup history, and qualifying information.

## How it works

The server communicates through MCP over standard input and output. Agents call tools with filters and receive structured results. Match and schedule queries can return venue details, team names, UTC kickoff times, and local venue times. A timezone parameter accepts IANA timezone identifiers for converting times.

Several tools accept flexible team or location identifiers. Team queries can use a team ID, FIFA code, or country name, while city guidance accepts a venue ID, city, or metro area. Venue searches can filter by country, city, or region, and nearby-venue results include distances in miles and kilometers.

The `what_to_know_now` tool requires no query parameters. It determines the relevant tournament phase for a date and returns a briefing, with optional date simulation and timezone handling. News is sourced from ESPN, BBC Sport, and Reddit and is described as being updated daily by the WC26 Scout Agent.

## Setup and configuration

Install and run the jordanlyall/wc26-mcp MCP server with npm and `npx`:

```bash
npx -y wc26-mcp
```

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf, configure an MCP server whose command is `npx` and whose arguments are `-y` and `wc26-mcp`. The project also documents a Claude Code command using the same runner. No API key or other credential is required, and no environment variables are listed for configuration.

The repository identifies the project as open source under the MIT license. The README states that the package has no external dependencies and that its data ships with the package.

## Tools and capabilities

- Query matches by date, date range, team, group, venue, round, or status.
- Retrieve teams, groups, profiles, standings, comparisons, and head-to-head World Cup history.
- Browse venues, host-city guides, nearby stadiums, and official fan zones.
- Check entry requirements for nationals of teams entering the United States, Mexico, or Canada.
- Retrieve news, player injury statuses, illustrative betting odds, and predictions.
- Inspect the full schedule or visualize the path from the Round of 32 through the Final.

## Limitations and notes

The team data lists 42 confirmed teams and six teams marked TBD, with playoffs scheduled for March 26 and 31. Odds are illustrative figures aggregated from major bookmakers, so they should not be treated as authoritative or as a betting recommendation. Injury information covers key players rather than every squad member.

Visa results are presented as tournament travel information for the three host countries; the supplied material does not describe them as official legal advice. News coverage depends on the sources and update process identified by the project. The server is focused on World Cup 2026 data and does not provide a general sports database.
