Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Default | |----------|-------------|---------| | SBW_DB_PATH | Path to SQLite database | ../data/vargarmatchen.db | | SBW_TELEMETRY | Set to off to disable demand logging | on |

Anonymous Demand Logging

By default, the server logs anonymous demand signals (team + city + result count) to a local SQLite file (mcp-demand.db) next to the main database. This helps us understand which cities and teams have unmet demand so we can expand bar coverage.

What is logged: tool name, team/query (truncated to 80 chars, sanitized), city (bucketed to "[small city]" when fewer than 5 bars), sport, result count, date. One entry per unique combination per day. Data retained for 365 days.

What is NOT logged: no IP, no user identity, no device ID, no session tracking. Query inputs are truncated and sanitized — not raw conversation content.

Opt out: Set SBW_TELEMETRY=off in your environment.

Data

The server reads from a SQLite database (read-only, no writes) containing:

• 2,000+ bars across 99 countries and 680+ cities
• Daily-updated match schedules from 188 automated scrapers
• 30+ sports: football, ice hockey, basketball, tennis, rugby, motorsport, and more
• World Cup 2026: all 48 teams, group stage schedule, host city venues

Data is scraped daily from bar websites via GitHub Actions. Major chains include O'Learys, Walkabout, Social Pub & Kitchen, Belushi's, and hundreds of independent sports bars.

Example Queries

Ask your AI assistant:

• "Where can I watch the Champions League final in Berlin?"
• "What sports bars in Melbourne are showing AFL tonight?"
• "Find a bar showing England vs Croatia in the World Cup in London"
• "What's the schedule for Real Madrid this week?"
