}In ChatGPT, add it as a custom connector (developer mode) with the server URL https://mcp.fighterapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY. Listing tools works without a key; calling one needs it.
Ask it things like
- “Show the last five fights for the lightweight champion with significant strikes landed per round.”
- “Which fighters have the highest takedown accuracy with at least ten attempts since 2020?”
- “What were the closing moneylines for the last UFC card, and how many favourites won?”

Questions
What is the FighterAPI MCP server?
A hosted Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.fighterapi.com/mcp. Add that URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and the assistant can call 11 read-only MMA data tools directly: no scraping, no local install.
Do I need to run anything locally?
No. It is a remote server over Streamable HTTP. Your client connects to one URL and sends your API key as an x-api-key header or a ?key= parameter.
What does it cost?
Every account starts with 500 free credits and no card. Tools cost 1 to 10 credits a call, a call that returns no data is refunded, and plans start at $19/month for 10,000 credits.
Is it the same data as the REST API?
Yes. Every MCP tool is also a REST endpoint with the same arguments and response, so an agent prototype and production code read identical data.
Which clients work?
Anything that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT (connectors), Cursor, Cline, Windsurf and agent frameworks with an MCP client. It is also listed on the official MCP Registry, Smithery and Glama.
