Quick start

This is a hosted (remote) MCP server over Streamable HTTP. There is nothing to install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http fighterapi "https://mcp.fighterapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fighterapi": {
      "url": "https://mcp.fighterapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}

The key can also be sent as an x-api-key header or Authorization: Bearer. Connecting and listing tools works without a key; calling a tool needs one.

REST

curl -X POST https://mcp.fighterapi.com/v1/list_events -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Every tool is POST /v1/{tool} with a JSON body.
