# Nike — Football Data Platform

MCP server and web dashboard for football (soccer) data, with full MLS support.

Queries live data from [free-api-live-football-data](https://rapidapi.com/Creativesdev/api/free-api-live-football-data) (RapidAPI) and exposes it via MCP tools for conversational analysis and a Bootstrap status dashboard.

### Module responsibilities

| Module | Role |
|--------|------|
| `nike/config.py` | Centralised settings from `.env` (API keys, constants) |
| `nike/rapidapi.py` | RapidAPI client with TTL cache (live data backend) |
| `nike/server.py` | FastAPI app: MCP tools, dashboard routes, mounts MCP ASGI |
| `nike/templates/dashboard.html` | Live status dashboard (Bootstrap 5, dark theme) |

### Legacy modules (preserved, not active)

| Module | Role |
|--------|------|
| `nike/api_football.py` | API-Football v3 client (original backend) |
| `nike/db.py` | PostgreSQL connection pool and query helpers |
| `nike/sync.py` | API → DB sync pipeline |
| `schema.sql` | Database DDL |

### MCP Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `search(query)` | Universal search across teams, players, leagues, matches |
| `live_scores()` | All currently live matches worldwide |
| `fixtures(league, date)` | Matches by league and/or date |
| `standings(league)` | Full league table |
| `team_info(team)` | Team profile + squad roster |
| `player_info(player)` | Player profile and details |
| `match_detail(event_id)` | Full match: score, stats, lineups, venue, referee |
| `head_to_head(event_id)` | H2H history for a matchup |
| `top_players(league, stat)` | Top scorers / assists / rated |
| `transfers(league_or_team, scope)` | Transfer activity |
| `news(scope, name)` | Trending, league, or team news |

## Setup

### Prerequisites

- Python >= 3.11
- A RapidAPI key for [free-api-live-football-data](https://rapidapi.com/Creativesdev/api/free-api-live-football-data)

### Install

```bash
cd ~/gitea/nike
python3 -m venv ~/env/nike
source ~/env/nike/bin/activate
pip install -e .
```

### Configure

Create (or edit) `.env` in the project root:

```env
RAPIDAPI_KEY=<your-rapidapi-key>
```

### Verify API connectivity

```bash
python scripts/test_rapidapi.py
```

This searches for MLS, fetches standings, finds Toronto FC, and pulls the squad roster.

---

## Running

### Development

```bash
python run.py
```

The server starts on `http://0.0.0.0:{PORT}`:
- **Dashboard** → `http://<host>:{PORT}/`
- **MCP endpoint** → `http://<host>:{PORT}/mcp`

### Production (systemd)

```bash
sudo cp nike.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable --now nike
```

---

## MCP Client Configuration

Nike exposes a Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at `/mcp`. To connect an MCP client (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cline, or any MCP-compatible tool), add the following to your client's MCP server configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nike": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://<host>:{PORT}/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Once connected, you can ask questions like:
- *"What matches are live right now?"*
- *"Show the MLS standings"*
- *"Who plays for Toronto FC?"*
- *"Who's the MLS top scorer?"*
- *"Any transfer news for Inter Miami?"*
- *"Tell me about Federico Bernardeschi"*

## Scripts

| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `scripts/test_rapidapi.py` | Verify RapidAPI connectivity and fetch sample data |
| `scripts/test_db.py` | Verify PostgreSQL connectivity (legacy) |
| `scripts/test_api.py` | Verify API-Football connectivity (legacy) |
| `scripts/apply_schema.py` | Apply database schema (legacy) |
| `scripts/pull_tfc.py` | Full TFC data sync via API-Football (legacy) |
