Requirements

• BALLDONTLIE account and API key
• MCP client supporting remote Streamable HTTP with custom Authorization header

Setup steps

1. Create an account and API key through BALLDONTLIE's official site/API account flow.
2. Add the remote Streamable HTTP endpoint https://mcp.balldontlie.io/mcp and set Authorization: Bearer <BALLDONTLIE_API_KEY> in secure client headers.
3. Reload/reconnect the MCP server and call tools/list to inspect current names, schemas, and annotations.
4. Verify with a harmless read such as listing NBA teams.

Crawl4AI verified the official repository reports 529 generated tools across 27 OpenAPI specifications. This record stores the 7 account tool identifiers explicitly listed in the README; the full generated sports/API catalog is larger and requires authenticated runtime listing.
