Scorezilla MCP Tools (9)
list_games
Lists your games. Use this first to orient.
list_boards
Lists leaderboards under a game.
get_keys
Returns the public key (safe to embed) and the secret-key prefix. The full secret never leaves the dashboard.
get_board_top_n
Returns the top entries on a board. The "is my integration working?" tool.

bootstrap_leaderboard
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Scorezilla MCP is categorized under Gaming and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Opendota MCP Server belongs to Gaming using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Scorezilla MCP when you need capabilities focused on gaming and Opendota MCP Server when you require tools for gaming.
Creates a new game + first board in one call, then returns the **widget embed** + **SDK snippet** + a plain-English recommendation. Same optional axis args (anti-cheat, OAuth, server language). The 90-second-demo path.
create_game

create_board
Adds a leaderboard board to an **existing** game (by `gameId`), with full options (sortDir, scoreKind, retention, bounds).
mint_key
Mints a fresh public/secret key pair for an existing game. The secret is shown once.
