FPL Intelligence — MCP Server

Turn Claude into your FPL analyst. Captain picks, transfer advice, rival scouting, chip timing, league predictions — powered by real-time FPL data.

Quick Start

Step 1 — Install

Requires Python 3.12+.

pip install fpl-intelligence

Step 2 — Connect to Claude Desktop

fpl-intelligence --setup

Step 3 — Restart Claude Desktop

Quit (Cmd+Q on macOS) and reopen. Look for fpl under the MCP servers icon (hammer icon).

Step 4 — Ask Claude anything about FPL

"Analyze my FPL team 5456980 — who should I captain, who should I transfer in, and when should I use my chips?"

That's it. Bank balance, free transfers, and chips are all auto-detected from your team ID.

Where's my team ID?

Go to fantasy.premierleague.com → click Points → grab the number from the URL:

Example Prompts

"Give me the full breakdown on team 5456980 — captain, transfers, everything"

"I have 2 free transfers and 1.5m in the bank. Who should I bring in?"

"Salah vs Palmer vs Saka — who's the best pick for the next 5 gameweeks?"

"I want to bring in Haaland for a -4. Is it worth the hit?"

"I still have my bench boost and triple captain. When should I use them?"

"Find me some differentials under 3% ownership that are actually returning points"

"It's 60 minutes into the games — how's my team doing? Any auto-subs?"

"Show me everything about mini-league 1189955 — who's going to win?"

"How do I beat my rivals in league 1189955? I'm team 5456980"

"Which players are about to drop in price tonight? I need to sell before the deadline"

"Scout my squad — who's nailed, who's at risk of rotation, any suspension danger?"

How It Works

FPL Intelligence connects to the official FPL API — the same free, public data that powers the FPL website. All data is real-time. See the full FPL API reference on Postman for endpoint documentation.

The server runs locally on your machine and talks to Claude Desktop via MCP. No API keys, no accounts, no data leaves your machine except FPL API calls.

Install from Source

git clone https://github.com/dohyung1/x402-fpl-api.git
cd x402-fpl-api
uv sync

Then use the full absolute path to uv and the repo in your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fpl": {
      "command": "/full/path/to/uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/full/path/to/x402-fpl-api", "mcp_server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Find your uv path with which uv (e.g. /Users/you/.cargo/bin/uv).
