The full upstream README, mirrored here for reference. Install config, tool schemas, adoption signals, and an original overview live on the Claudinho listing page.
Live scores for the 2026 men's football tournament — in your terminal, your Claude Code / Cursor CLI statusline, and any MCP client. No API key, no signup; all 104 fixtures ship bundled, so the schedule works offline.
⭐ Like it? Star the repo — a fan project's only scoreboard is its stars. (
claudinho starshows you how anytime.)
While matches are live, your Claude Code or Cursor CLI statusline reads:
And claudinho share prints a card made for the group chat:
⚠️ Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to FIFA or Anthropic. Claudinho is an independent, open-source fan project. It displays factual match data (scores, fixtures, standings) and uses emoji flags only — no logos, emblems, kits, broadcast footage, or player likenesses.
One command wires the live-score statusline and prints the MCP config to paste:
Restart your agent session to see it. Prefer to paste it yourself? claudinho init cursor --print
emits the snippets, or copy them straight from here:
Statusline — ~/.cursor/cli-config.json:
MCP tools — ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or a project .cursor/mcp.json:
Optional env — a model + context line below the score, or scope to your team:
Note: Cursor's
beforeSubmitPrompthook doesn't yet reliably inject context into the model, so the score-aware hook stays Claude Code-only for now — the statusline and MCP server work great in Cursor.
init claude backs up ~/.claude/settings.json first and is idempotent. Prefer the pieces
à la carte? Run init-statusline, init-hook, and:
Restart Claude Code to activate.
Monorepo / local dev? The
init cursor/init claudealiases wire the globalclaudinho. To point a statusline or hook at a local build, use the granular commands with--command, e.g.claudinho init-cursor-statusline --command "node ./packages/cli/dist/index.js prompt"(andinit-statusline/init-hookfor Claude Code).
Everything else takes the standard stdio config:
Then just ask, mid-task — the agent calls the MCP server and answers with the score:
today, live, next MEX, table, match <id>, bracket, markets, share, team (name → code, e.g. team "DR Congo") (plus vibe 😎 and star ⭐). --json on everything; TZ-aware via --tz.claudinho init claude / claudinho init cursor (also tmux & Starship via claudinho prompt).UserPromptSubmit hook that drops the live score into the model's context during matches; zero tokens off-match.

Claudinho is also listed in the Official MCP Registry, Smithery, Glama, MCP.so, cursor.directory, awesome-claude-code, and awesome-mcp-servers. The Cursor integration was also discussed in the Cursor Community.

Do I need an API key or account? No. Nothing to sign up for; npx and done.
Does it work offline? The bundled data does — the full schedule, group fixtures, and the knockout bracket structure (all 104 fixtures ship bundled, no key). Anything live hits the network: scores, group standings, and a team's resolved knockout opponent (next once the draw fills in).
Where does the data come from? Live scores from ESPN's public scoreboard (attributed in output as Live data: ESPN); market signals from Polymarket public data. Rate limits respected.
Is the market line betting advice? No. It's read-only, informational-only market data with attribution — no trading, no links — and it never appears on the statusline or hook.
Why no crests, kits, or player photos? Legal-clean by design: facts and emoji flags only.
Flags show as boxed letters (CH, BA)? Some terminals — notably Warp — don't compose
the regional-indicator pairs into flag glyphs, so 🇨🇭 renders as a boxed CH. claudinho
auto-detects Warp and drops the flags: 3-letter codes on the statusline (MEX 1–0 RSA 67')
and plain team names in the hook, today / live / table, and next. Force it anywhere with CLAUDINHO_FLAGS=off, or keep flags
with CLAUDINHO_FLAGS=on.
Windows? Works, but flag emoji rendering varies by terminal — best on macOS/Linux. See the
flags note above; CLAUDINHO_FLAGS=off gives clean codes on any terminal that can't render them.
Claudinho is a solo, $0, organic fan project — a GitHub star is the only signal that it's worth maintaining, and the nudge to keep shipping through the final. A star also:
New here? CONTRIBUTING.md has the layout, the dev loop, and good first issues.
Claudinho collects no personal data — no accounts, no telemetry, no analytics, no tracking. There is no Claudinho server. To show live results it makes read-only requests to public sports-data services (ESPN for scores/standings; Polymarket for informational-only market signals) with no account or personal data attached, and keeps a small cache in your local cache directory (~/.cache/claudinho). Full details: PRIVACY.md.
Found a vulnerability? Please report it privately via GitHub's report form rather than a public issue. SECURITY.md has the disclosure process and the threat model (stdio only, no listener, no credentials, two read-only outbound hosts).
