wc26

The wc26 MCP server bundles World Cup 2026 data and tools that let you query teams, matches, venues, standings, news, and more without external APIs. It exposes a suite of 18 tools (for example: what_to_know_now, get_team_profile, get_matches, get_teams, get_groups, get_venues, get_city_guide, get_historical_matchups, get_nearby_venues, get_schedule, get_visa_info, get_fan_zones, get_news, get_injuries, get_odds, compare_teams, get_standings, get_bracket) that can be invoked through any MCP client via stdio. You can run the server locally with a simple command (via npx) and then connect your MCP client to start asking questions like “What are the latest World Cup headlines?” or “Show me Dallas city guide tips.” The tools are designed to return structured results with enriched data such as venue details, time zone conversions, and team histories, enabling dynamic conversations with your AI assistant. The server ships with data for matches, teams, venues, city guides, fan zones, and more, so you don’t need external APIs or keys to get started.

Prerequisites:\n- Node.js (recommended: LTS version, e.g., 18.x or newer) and npm installed on your system.\n- Basic familiarity with using npx and MCP clients.\n\nInstallation steps:\n1) Install Node.js and npm from the official website (https://nodejs.org/). Ensure node -v and npm -v return valid versions.\n2) Install or use the MCP server via npx (no global install required):\n\nbash\n# Run the WC26 MCP server directly with npx (no global install required)\nnpx -y wc26-mcp\n\n\n3) (Optional) Install wc26-mcp globally if you prefer a persistent CLI exposure:\n\nbash\nnpm install -g wc26-mcp\n# Then run with:\nwc26-mcp\n\n\n4) For integration with clients, use the provided MCP config snippet and point your client at the wc26 server name (e.g., wc26) as described in the Quick Start.\n\nNote: The server is designed to work without external keys or dependencies, shipping all data within the package.

Tips and notes:\n- The server communicates over stdio using the MCP protocol; ensure your client supports stdio-based MCP communication.\n- If you upgrade Node.js, re-check compatibility with wc26-mcp and the MCP client you’re using.\n- There are 18 tools available; use tool names like get_matches or get_venue to craft precise prompts.\n- Data includes matches, teams, venues, city guides, fan zones, and more; use filters such as date_from/date_to, team, venue, group to narrow results.\n- If you encounter time zone issues, rely on the built-in timezone conversion in get_matches and get_schedule.\n- For CI or container usage, you can wrap the npx command in your preferred runtime (see mcp_config example).
