World Cup History MCP

Model Context Protocol server giving Claude / Cursor / any MCP-aware agent grounded access to every FIFA World Cup since 1930. 23 tournaments. 1,168+ matches. 2,500+ players. 206 stadiums. All exposed as 15 typed tools so the model stops hallucinating squads, scores, brackets, and stadium altitudes.

Powered by the public Zafronix World Cup API — free tier with key, 1,000 req/day, no card.

Why

LLMs are unreliable on:

• Exact tournament results from before the trained-data window.
• Roster details (jersey numbers, DOBs, captains).
• Knockout-round paths and exact scores.
• Stadium facts (capacity, altitude, year opened).

This MCP wraps the Zafronix WC API so the model can call a tool and get the canonical answer instead of guessing.

Install

Configure (Claude Desktop)

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) / %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@zafronix/wc-mcp"],
      "env": {
