Usage

As an MCP Server

This server works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, VSCode with GitHub Copilot Chat, etc.). Add the following configuration to your client's MCP settings file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fantasynbaleague": {

      "args": ["fantasy-nba-israel-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Common configuration file locations:

  • Claude Desktop: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
  • Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json in your project or global settings
  • Cline: Use the MCP settings UI or edit cline_mcp_settings.json
  • VSCode: .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace

Local Development

For local development and testing, you can run the MCP server in development mode:

uv run mcp dev fantasy_nba_israel_mcp/server.py

This will start an interactive MCP inspector where you can test your tools.

Standalone Testing

from fantasy_nba_israel_mcp import mcp

# Run the MCP server
