What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the API section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: JavaScript/TypeScript (npm install apify-client) and Python (pip install apify-client).

💰 Pricing

EventPrice (USD)When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)$5e-05Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Tool call (tool-call)$0.02Per-tool invocation via MCP Standby

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.02 = $2.00 plus the start fee.

🏈 Sports MCP Server — Live NBA, NFL & NHL Scores for Claude / ChatGPT

Connect AI agents to live US sports scoreboards through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — NBA, NFL, and NHL game scores in clean JSON tuned for LLM function-calling. A lightweight, pay-per-use alternative to monthly sports-data subscriptions for agents that just need current scores.

What You Get

This MCP server exposes 4 tools to your AI agent. Each returns the current scoreboard for its league — teams, scores, and game status (live / final / scheduled). The tools take no parameters; they return the current slate.

  • get_nba_scores — current NBA scoreboard (teams, scores, game status, tip-off times)
  • get_nfl_scores — current NFL scoreboard (teams, scores, game status, kickoff times)
  • get_nhl_scores — current NHL scoreboard (teams, scores, game status, start times)
  • get_all_scores — NBA + NFL + NHL scoreboards in a single call, ideal for a daily sports briefing

All responses are structured JSON for LLM tool use — no HTML scraping required.

Use Cases

  • Fan-engagement chatbots — Discord / Slack bots answer "what's the Lakers score?" without dev overhead
  • Daily sports briefings — get_all_scores returns every NBA/NFL/NHL game in one call
  • Sports media dashboards — auto-generate game-recap copy once a game goes final
  • Twitter / X bots — post score updates from structured data instead of scraping

Quick Start

Wire this MCP server into an MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline) by pointing your config at this actor's MCP endpoint:

https://nexgendata--sports-mcp-server.apify.actor/mcp

Then ask: "What NBA games are on today and what are the scores?"

Pricing

This actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing — you are charged per successful tool call, with no monthly subscription.

FAQ

Q: Is this an official ESPN / NBA / NFL feed? No. The server aggregates publicly available league scoreboards.

Q: Which leagues are supported? NBA, NFL, and NHL scoreboards. MLB, soccer, and other leagues are not currently supported.

Q: Can I query a specific date or a past game? No. The tools return the current scoreboard and take no parameters.

Q: Does it provide standings, player stats, schedules, or play-by-play? No. This server returns scoreboards only.

Q: Can the AI agent call this from Cursor / Cline / Claude Desktop? Yes — any MCP-compatible client works. Point your config at this actor's MCP endpoint.
