MCP server for sports data lookup and analysis, providing access to SofaScore sports data including events, teams, players, tournaments, and live updates
Sports MCP has 42 well-structured tools with consistent naming (verb_noun pattern: search, get, list) and complete JSON Schema definitions. All tools include descriptions and typed parameters with jsonschema annotations. However, descriptions are terse (avg ~60 chars, well below the 194-char baseline for A+ tools), lack WHEN/WHY context, and omit dependency hints. No output schemas documented. Error handling is absent, no recovery guidance, retryability classification, or actionable error messages. Tool composition is sound (single responsibility, chainable IDs), but descriptions don't explain prerequisites or common workflows. Missing tool annotations (readOnlyHint, idempotentHint) despite all tools being read-only.
Get event details including optional sections, or return only available section names
Get head-to-head events between teams in an event
Get TV channels broadcasting an event
Get TV channel votes for an event
Get player attribute overviews
Get player career statistics
Get player characteristics
Descriptions are terse (avg ~50 chars vs 194-char baseline). Most lack WHEN/WHY context, prerequisites, or guidance on tool selection. E.g., 'Get team information' doesn't explain when to call it vs team_tournaments or team_standings.
No output schemas documented. LLMs cannot plan downstream calls or extract required fields (e.g., does event_tv return channel_id for use in event_tv_channel?). Violates pattern:tool and mxe:include-chaining-ids.

No error handling or recovery guidance. Tools lack actionable error messages, retryability classification, or suggestions for fallback actions. Violates pattern:recovery-guide and pattern:error-classification.
Missing tool annotations despite all 42 tools being read-only. readOnlyHint should be set on every tool to signal to agents that these calls are safe to retry and have no side effects.
No dependency hints in descriptions. E.g., search tool doesn't explain that it's the entry point for resolving names to IDs before calling event, tournament, or team tools. Violates mxe:chat-data-model.
