What World Cup MCP provided

World Cup MCP exposed sports, marketing and money data as Model Context Protocol tools. The service is now discontinued; this page preserves its former capability and provenance record.

Service status

The former endpoint, authentication system and access keys are offline. See the project status page for the retirement state.

While active, every fact-bearing response ended with a Sources:citation line. Historical national teams were distinct entities (West Germany ≠ Germany, Soviet Union ≠ Russia).
