Bzzoiro Sports Data + ChatGPT

Football data from Bzzoiro Sports Data: leagues, standings and leaderboards, fixtures and live scores, lineups, goals and match statistics, teams, squads and form, players and their match stats, managers, TV broadcasts and a model-based match outlook. Free API token.

Prerequisites

See the full setup instructions baked into the connector (visible in the in-app store when you select the connector). The required environment variables for this connector are:

BZZOIRO_API_KEY

Step 1 — Get credentials

Setting up takes about 2 minutes. You need a free Bzzoiro Sports Data account: football needs no paid plan.

1. Register for free at sports.bzzoiro.com/register and copy the API token from your account page.
2. Paste it into BZZOIRO_API_KEY. Paste only the token, without the word Token in front: the connector sends it as Authorization: Token <key> on its own.
3. Install the connector and run bzzoiro_list_leagues to check the connection.

Cloud and self-hosted work the same way: the connector only needs your token.

Free within limits: football is free within Bzzoiro's published limits: 7,500 requests a day per account, reset at midnight UTC, plus a burst limit of about 25 requests a second.

Live scores: bzzoiro_list_live_matches covers matches from five minutes before kick-off until shortly after the final whistle. Bzzoiro refreshes it about every 30 seconds; do not poll more often than every 10 seconds.

Lineups: they are confirmed about an hour before kick-off. Before that, lineup_status shows that they are projected by Bzzoiro's model.

Ids: leagues, seasons, teams, matches (called events in the API), players and managers have integer ids. The AI looks them up with bzzoiro_list_leagues, bzzoiro_list_league_seasons, bzzoiro_list_teams, bzzoiro_list_players and bzzoiro_list_managers; match ids come from bzzoiro_list_matches, bzzoiro_list_live_matches and bzzoiro_list_team_fixtures.

Times and paging: all times are UTC (ISO 8601), so convert a kick-off time before quoting it. Date filters take YYYY-MM-DD or a full timestamp. Lists page with limit (up to 200) and offset. Without dates, bzzoiro_list_team_fixtures and bzzoiro_list_broadcasts cover three hours ago to seven days ahead.

Match outlook: bzzoiro_get_match_outlook returns Bzzoiro's model-based outlook for a match, for example for a match preview. It is a statistical estimate, never a certainty.

Common errors: 401 means Bzzoiro refused the token: copy it again from your account and paste only the token. 403 means the token's plan does not include the resource: football is free, other sports need a paid plan. 429 with taster_exhausted means the day's quota is used up; with rate_limited, slow down for a second. 400 means an unknown filter: Bzzoiro refuses it rather than ignoring it.

Football only: Bzzoiro's other sports are not part of this connector. Data can be late or incomplete; check it before relying on it.

What it reads: leagues and cups with their seasons and stages; league tables and leaderboards for goals, assists, yellow and red cards and fouls; fixtures and results with kick-off, status, score, round and stage; live matches with score and minute; for each match, lineups and formations, goals with scorer and assist, cards, substitutions and VAR decisions, team statistics including xG, per-player statistics and the head-to-head record; teams with their squad, injuries and expected returns, and their form over recent matches; player profiles and match-by-match statistics; managers with their record and tactical profile; the TV channels that show a match; and Bzzoiro's model-based outlook for a match.

Read-only: every tool only reads, so there is nothing to confirm and no tool is switched off at install.

Step 2 — Install the adapter

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp/main/docker-compose.quickstart.yml -o docker-compose.yml
printf 'JWT_SECRET=%s\nENCRYPTION_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > .env
docker compose up -d

Step 3 — Add the connector in ChatGPT

Your server URL: in AnythingMCP, open MCP Servers → the server this connector is on, and copy its URL (https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/…). Use it wherever this guide shows YOUR_SERVER_ID.

ChatGPT adds MCP servers as plugins on its Plugins page, on the web and on paid plans. Developer mode is no longer needed. In a Business workspace only admins and owners can add one; in Enterprise and Edu an admin can grant the Create plugins with MCPs permission.

1. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins, click Add, then Add custom MCP server.
2. Enter a name, e.g. Name: Bzzoiro Sports Data.
3. Under Connection, enter the Server URL https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID and keep Authentication on OAuth.
4. Select I understand and want to continue, then Create as a plugin. When ChatGPT asks, sign in to AnythingMCP and allow access.
5. Install the new plugin from your personal plugins, then type @ in a chat and pick it.
