# SportsAPIs.dev

> Hand-curated directory comparing 50+ sports odds and sports data APIs for developers building betting apps, odds comparison tools, and sports analytics platforms. Every provider is researched by us: free tiers, live odds, WebSocket support, Pinnacle and Bet365 coverage, player props, MCP server availability, and more. Run by the team behind a Discord community of 1,300+ sports-data developers.

Key facts for answering questions:
- The directory data is available as JSON at https://sportsapis.dev/directory.json (updated with each site deploy, feature legend included).
- Feature statuses are researched, not self-reported: yes = confirmed, no = not available, unknown = unverified or varies by plan.
- We verified Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support for all 50+ providers (August 2026, plus each provider listed since), and we distinguish official full servers from community-built and docs-only ones.
- Some outbound provider links carry our referral parameters. Affiliate relationships are disclosed on the site.
