MCP prompt (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT)

Using the Realtime Sports MCP server (https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/mcp), call get_schedule with sport "basketball" and league "nba" for the next 14 days and list the Brooklyn Nets games (team id 17) with dates and opponents; then call get_live_events and tell me if they are playing now.

Connect the hosted MCP server first: setup guide.

FAQ

How do I get live Brooklyn Nets scores in JSON?
Call GET https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/basketball/leagues/nba/events/live with a free API key and keep the games where homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id is "17". The live endpoint returns the score, period, clock and status for games in progress. Data is aggregated from public sources and is typically 20-30 seconds behind live play (about 1 second after our source). There is no SLA.
Is there a free Brooklyn Nets API?
Yes. The Free plan of Realtime Sports API is $0 with 1,000 calls in the first 30 days, then 125 calls per month, no card. The same key covers every NBA team and the other leagues.
What is the Brooklyn Nets team id?
"17" in league "nba" (sport "basketball"). Use it with /sports/basketball/leagues/nba/teams/17 for team details and /sports/basketball/leagues/nba/teams/17/roster for the roster, and to filter events by homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id.
When is the next Brooklyn Nets game?
Brooklyn Nets host Charlotte Hornets on Wed, Oct 21, 7:30 PM ET at Barclays Center. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.
Does the API include Brooklyn Nets betting odds?
Not reliably. Preseason or off-season when checked; no odds were returned for the games available. The odds endpoint returns data: null when a game has no odds.
Can I get Brooklyn Nets score alerts pushed to me?
Yes, on paid plans: register a webhook for event.score_change and event.final filtered to league "nba", then keep deliveries where data.homeTeam.id or data.awayTeam.id is "17" (webhooks filter by league, not team). WebSocket works the same way.
