You have a multi-league Yahoo Fantasy Football MCP Server that uses AI-powered tools to optimize lineups, assist with drafts, and manage leagues. It connects to Yahoo and Sleeper data sources, enriches player projections, and provides real-time recommendations to help you win more consistently across all your leagues.

How to use

Start by running the local MCP server you prefer. You can launch either the FastMCP HTTP-compatible local server or the stdio-based integration, then connect your MCP client to the provided entry points to access intelligent lineup optimization, draft recommendations, and league analytics.

How to install

Prerequisites: Python must be installed on your system and you should have access to the internet to install dependencies.

Step 1: Clone the project repository and enter the project directory.

Step 2: Install Python dependencies from the requirements file.

Step 3: Prepare your Yahoo API credentials and complete the initial authentication flow.

Step 4: Run the preferred local server entry point.

Deployment and runtime options

Local Development (FastMCP) and Claude Code Integration (Stdio) are provided for quick testing and development. You can also deploy via Docker or on a cloud platform for production usage.

Configuration and authentication

Create a .env file with your Yahoo API credentials and ensure you complete OAuth authentication so the server can access your leagues and players.

Troubleshooting and tips

If you encounter authentication or rate-limiting issues, refresh tokens or reauthenticate, and monitor API status to adjust request cadence. Clear caches if data becomes stale to force fresh data retrieval.

Security and credentials

Keep your Yahoo API credentials secure and do not share tokens publicly. Use environment variables to provide secrets to the server without embedding them in code.
