A side-by-side look at the FPL Context and Odds Api.net MCP Server MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose FPL Context for sports work as a local process; choose Odds Api.net MCP Server for sports as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
DATABASE_URL, DATABASE_ETL_URL, MCP_AUTH_TOKEN.query_historical_stats, get_live_availability.ODDS_API_KEY.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

query_historical_statsExecutes a read-only SQL `SELECT` against the historical stats database.get_live_availabilityCurrent FPL injury, suspension and availability flags, fetched live from the FPL API. Use it before recommending or captaining a player, so a newly flagged player isn't missed. It needs no database and no ingestion run.No tool names declared yet. Check the project README from the listing page.
Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
