Prompts

Prompts are pre-built briefings that orchestrate multiple API calls server-side and return structured, presentation-ready content in a single command. They appear as native actions in supported clients like Claude Desktop.

How to use prompts

Prompts are part of the MCP protocol. When invoked, the server fetches live data from Sportmonks, formats it into a structured briefing, and returns it as a user message for the AI to respond to.

Claude Code and Cursor

Reference the prompt by name in your message:

Run the match_preview prompt for fixture ID 19135697

Use the team_overview prompt for team ID 85

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop surfaces MCP prompts in the UI - the exact location depends on your version. If you don't see a dedicated prompt picker, you can invoke them the same way as Claude Code: just ask by name with the required argument.
