Search Available Padel Courts on Playtomic with GitHub Copilot

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.

💡 No install? Use cloud.anythingmcp.com directly. Mint an MCP API key, point Copilot at https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID, done.

Search available padel courts on Playtomic with GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code now supports the Model Context Protocol. With AnythingMCP exposing Playtomic as MCP tools, you can search available padel courts on Playtomic with Copilot right inside your editor — useful when you're coding a padel side-project, building a court-finder app, or just sneaking a Saturday slot between commits:

• "Show me free padel courts within 20 km tonight after 7 PM."
• "List my padel match history this year as a JSON I can paste into a test fixture."
• "Generate a CRON expression that fires on Fridays at 5 PM and queries Playtomic for Saturday morning slots."

Copilot calls the Playtomic API through MCP and returns structured results you can drop straight into code or a chat reply.

Two connectors, pick your level

Prerequisites

• VS Code with the GitHub Copilot Chat extension (MCP support).
• A free Playtomic account (both connectors use it).
• AnythingMCP running locally or on cloud.anythingmcp.com.

Step 1 — Install the Playtomic 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

Open http://localhost:3000/connectors/store → search Playtomic → install Playtomic (Lite) or Playtomic — both take PLAYTOMIC_EMAIL + PLAYTOMIC_PASSWORD (Lite is read-only on a free account).

Mint an MCP API key under MCP Servers → your server → API keys.

Step 2 — Add the MCP server to Copilot in VS Code

Add or update .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or the user-level ~/.config/Code/User/mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "playtomic": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://cloud.anythingmcp.com/mcp/YOUR_SERVER_ID",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_MCP_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Reload the VS Code window. Open Copilot Chat → click the 🔧 Tools picker → enable Playtomic. Start asking.

Available tools

Playtomic Lite (4 tools, read-only)

Playtomic full (13 tools, login)

Discovery + your account + open matches + recommendations + tournaments + leagues. See the Claude guide for the full table.

Code-with-padel workflows

Copilot makes Playtomic genuinely useful for developers building padel-adjacent things:

• "I'm writing a court-finder app. Hit playtomic_search_tenants for 5 European cities and write me a Postgres seed file."
• "Generate a TypeScript type for the playtomic_get_availability response — use the actual JSON I get back."
• "Plot my last 12 months of playtomic_get_my_stats into a chartjs config."

FAQ

Does this work without GitHub Copilot Pro? Copilot Chat's MCP integration is included in Pro and Business. Personal-tier Copilot also has MCP support in recent releases of VS Code.

Where do I store the MCP API key — in mcp.json or a .env? Both work. For a shared workspace, prefer ${env:ANYTHINGMCP_KEY} interpolation in mcp.json and keep the key in your .env (gitignored).

Can I run AnythingMCP locally and skip cloud.anythingmcp.com? Yes — point Copilot at http://localhost:4000/mcp and use a local API key. Same tools.

Why is playtomic_get_my_profile failing? You probably installed the Lite variant, which is read-only and has no personal-data tools. Install Playtomic (full) if you want them.
