Openf1 Overview

The Openf1 MCP server exposes real-time and historical Formula 1 data through four MCP tools. Query Grand Prix meetings and sessions, then use session keys to retrieve entered drivers or lap-level timing and telemetry. It supports filters such as year, country, meeting, driver, and lap number, with a `latest` session option for current or ongoing data. Use it when an agent needs structured F1 race-weekend information rather than general web search.

Primary Use Cases for Openf1:
  • Find Grand Prix meetings by season or country
  • Resolve sessions for a specific race weekend
  • Inspect drivers entered in a live or historical session
  • Compare lap times and sector telemetry
