  OpticOdds ships a first-party Model Context Protocol server in BOTH
  deployment shapes: a hosted remote endpoint an MCP client can POST to today,
  and an npm-distributed local stdio server launched with npx. Both are
  published verbatim in the OpticOdds MCP Integration Guide, and the remote
  endpoint was probed directly for this artifact.
name: OpticOdds MCP
status: published
deployment:
  mode: both
  endpoint: https://api.opticodds.com/mcp
  install: npx -y opticodds-mcp
  package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/opticodds-mcp
  auth: api-key
  verified: probed
transport:
  remote: http
  local: stdio
authentication:
  scheme: bearer
  header: 'Authorization: Bearer <OPTICODDS_API_KEY>'
  local_env: OPTICODDS_API_KEY
  note: >-
    The same OpticOdds API key used for the REST API. No OAuth: the server does
    not advertise /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource and the documented
    method is a static bearer key.
probe:
  url: https://api.opticodds.com/mcp
  method: POST
  body: '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
  accept: application/json, text/event-stream
  http_status: 401
  response: >-
    {"error":"Missing Authorization header. Use: Authorization: Bearer
    <your_opticodds_api_key>"}
  interpretation: >-
    A live MCP server that rejects anonymous introspection with an
    OpticOdds-specific auth message. The endpoint is real and reachable; the
    tool inputSchemas are auth-gated and require an authenticated tools/list to
    read. The tool list below is therefore the PUBLISHED list from the
    provider's own integration guide — names and descriptions only, no
    inputSchema — and is not a transcript of a live tools/list response.
