SharpEdge MCP Server

Sports betting edge detection for AI assistants. Connects Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible agents to the SharpEdge AI scanner, which finds +EV bets and arbitrage opportunities across major US sportsbooks every 7 minutes.

What It Does

When you ask your AI assistant "any good sports betting edges today?" or "find me +EV bets on the NBA", this MCP server provides the answer with real-time data from the SharpEdge production scanner.

Four tools included:

• get_sports_betting_edges - Current +EV bets with edge %, Kelly sizing, confidence grade, and AI analysis
• get_arbitrage_opportunities - Cross-book arbitrage opportunities with guaranteed profit %
• calculate_kelly - Kelly criterion calculator for optimal sports bet sizing
• get_scanner_stats - Today's scan stats (edges found, events scanned, arbs detected)

Installation

Claude Code (recommended)

Add to your Claude Code MCP settings (~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharpedge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "sharpedge-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharpedge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "sharpedge-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Manual / Local Development

git clone https://github.com/therealjlc1/sharpedge-mcp.git
cd sharpedge-mcp
npm install
npm run build

Then point your MCP client at the built server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharpedge": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/sharpedge-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Set the SHARPEDGE_API_KEY environment variable for full access to all edges and arbitrage data:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharpedge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "sharpedge-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "SHARPEDGE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Without an API key, the server falls back to the public preview endpoint (limited data).

Usage Examples

Once connected, just ask your AI assistant naturally:

• "Any good sports betting edges right now?"
• "Show me +EV bets on the NBA"
• "Find arbitrage opportunities across sportsbooks"
• "I have a 5% edge at +150 odds with a $1000 bankroll. How much should I bet?"
• "How many edges has SharpEdge found today?"
• "Any edges on FanDuel or DraftKings?"
