Cursor

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+

• A Sportmonks API token from my.sportmonks.com

• Cursor installed

Install

1. Add to Cursor

Open Cursor → Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server

Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sportmonks-football": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "sportmonks-football-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SPORTMONKS_API_TOKEN": "your_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Optional environment variables can be added to the env block:

Variable	Description
SPORTMONKS_LOG_FILE	Path for the local tool-call log. Set to off to disable. Defaults to your OS temp directory
SPORTMONKS_DEBUG_URLS	Set to 1 or true to log outbound API URLs to stderr (token redacted). Off by default

2. Restart Cursor

The Sportmonks tools will appear in the Agent panel.

Test it

Open the Cursor Agent and ask:

Give me the la liga table using the sportmonks mcp

Project-scoped config

To scope the server to one project only, create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root with the same config above instead of editing the global file.

Updating

The server runs via npx, so you always get the latest published version automatically. No manual update steps needed.
