Integration

College Football Data integration

College Football Data (CFBD) serves historical and current US college football data: games, scores and box scores, play-by-play and drives, team and player statistics, rosters, recruiting and the transfer portal, poll rankings, team ratings (SP+, SRS, Elo, FPI), betting lines, win probabilities, Predicted Points Added and NFL Draft picks. Most list tools filter by season year, week, team and conference. Authentication is a free CFBD API key sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header; a few tools (game weather, adjusted game previews) need a CFBD Patreon tier.

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in College Football Data.Built from the 93 College Football Data tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with College Football Data

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use College Football Data from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect College Football Data in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its College Football Data operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
