name: ParlayAPI MCP Server
description: Official first-party MCP server (parlayapi-mcp) exposing sports odds,
  props, prediction-market data, live previews, source-quality proof, and agent
  signup as 22 tools. Local stdio transport only — no hosted/remote endpoint is
  published. Distributed on PyPI, as a Claude Desktop .mcpb bundle, and registered
  in the official MCP registry as io.github.JacobiusMakes/parlayapi. Nine tools
  work keyless (signup, checkout-link, magic-link, pricing, live previews, source
  quality, coverage); the rest need a PARLAYAPI_KEY API key.
