Using the Realtime Sports MCP server (https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/mcp), call get_schedule with sport "hockey" and league "nhl" for the next 14 days and list the Colorado Avalanche 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 Colorado Avalanche scores in JSON?
- Call GET https://www.realtimesportsapi.com/api/v1/sports/hockey/leagues/nhl/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 Colorado Avalanche 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 NHL team and the other leagues.
- What is the Colorado Avalanche team id?
- "17" in league "nhl" (sport "hockey"). Use it with /sports/hockey/leagues/nhl/teams/17 for team details and /sports/hockey/leagues/nhl/teams/17/roster for the roster, and to filter events by homeTeam.id or awayTeam.id.
- When is the next Colorado Avalanche game?
- Colorado Avalanche visit Winnipeg Jets on Wed, Oct 7, 7:30 PM ET at Canada Life Centre. Times are US Eastern; this page refreshes hourly.
- Does the API include Colorado Avalanche betting odds?
- Yes, for upcoming NHL games that have a line: GET /sports/hockey/leagues/nhl/events/{eventId}/odds returns the spread, moneyline and total from a single source book, and /odds/history returns line moves. It is not a multi-book comparison feed.
- Can I get Colorado Avalanche score alerts pushed to me?
- Yes, on paid plans: register a webhook for event.score_change and event.final filtered to league "nhl", then keep deliveries where data.homeTeam.id or data.awayTeam.id is "17" (webhooks filter by league, not team). WebSocket works the same way.
