### Description (declared)

# nfl-mcp

MCP server for NFL data (2013–2025), powered by [nflreadpy](https://github.com/nflverse/nflreadpy) and DuckDB.
Query play-by-play, rosters, injuries, stats, and more using natural language in Claude Code, VS Code, or Claude Desktop.

Ask Claude questions like:
- *"Who had the best EPA per play in 2024?"*
- *"Show me Patrick Mahomes' completion % over expected by season"*
- *"Compare 4th quarter red zone efficiency for KC vs PHI in 2023"*
- *"Which defenses had the highest sack rate in 3rd & long situations?"*
- *"Who was on IR for the Eagles in Week 10, 2023?"*
- *"Show me snap count trends for the Chiefs receiving corps in 2024"*

## Quickstart

```bash
pip install nfl-mcp        # or: uvx nfl-mcp
nfl-mcp init               # configure, load data, and start the server
```

`init` walks you through setup and offers to start the server immediately when done. No database server to install. No credentials to manage. Data is stored locally in DuckDB.

## Deploy to Azure

Run the server in the cloud as an [Azure Container App](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/container-apps/) with one click:

[![Deploy to Azure](https://aka.ms/deploytoazurebutton)](https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Template/uri/https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Febhattad%2Fnfl-mcp%2Fmain%2Finfra%2Fazuredeploy.json)

The button opens the Azure portal's **Custom deployment** blade prefilled from [`infra/azuredeploy.json`](infra/azuredeploy.json). Pick a resource group, then **Create**. It provisions a Container Apps Environment, a Log Analytics workspace, and the Container App (public HTTPS ingress on port 8000). When the deployment finishes, the `mcpUrl` output is your endpoint — point any MCP client at `https://<app>.<region>.azurecontainerapps.io/mcp`.

> **The data is baked into the image.** The full DuckDB database is built into the container image at build time, so the app serves read-only with **no runtime ingest** — it starts instantly, never re-downloads data, needs no…
