MMA MCP Server

Why one server beats five integrations

Every promotion publishes its own site, its own spelling of a fighter’s name and its own idea of a weight class. Reconciling that is the work; the MCP server is where the work is already done.

Connect in 60 seconds

The server speaks Streamable HTTP, so every current MCP client can reach it without a local process, a Docker image or a proxy. Pick the door your client uses and paste one block.

1. 1. Add it as a custom connector

   In Claude.ai or ChatGPT, add a custom connector and paste the MCP endpoint. Sign in with your UFCalendar account when prompted; the free 1-day trial starts itself on first sign-in.

   https://api.ufcalendar.com/mcp

2. 2. Or take an API key instead

   For a coding agent, a bearer token is simpler than a browser round-trip. Start the trial on the account page and copy the key — it is the same credential the REST API uses.

   # 1. Sign in, start the free 1-day trial, copy the key
   open https://www.ufcalendar.com/account/api?trial=1
   
   # 2. Hand it to any MCP client as a bearer token
   export UFCALENDAR_API_KEY="ufcalendar_..."

3. 3. Register it in your client

   Claude Code, Cursor and Codex each take one line or one small config block. Restart the client afterwards so it lists the tools.

   claude mcp add --transport http ufcalendar https://api.ufcalendar.com/mcp \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer $UFCALENDAR_API_KEY"

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "ufcalendar": {
         "url": "https://api.ufcalendar.com/mcp",
         "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${UFCALENDAR_API_KEY}" }
       }
     }
   }

   [mcp_servers.ufcalendar]
   url = "https://api.ufcalendar.com/mcp"
   http_headers = { Authorization = "Bearer ${UFCALENDAR_API_KEY}" }

4. 4. Ask across promotions

   Ask a question that spans more than one organisation. If the tools are wired you get one answer with real ids and slugs, not five partial ones.

Tools the MCP server exposes

23 tools over the same REST endpoints, with the same plan limits. One tool call counts as one request. Three discovery tools answer with no sign-in at all.

Names and descriptions appear exactly as the server advertises them to a client, in English — that is the text your agent reads when it picks a tool.

MMA MCP server options

Every cell outside our own column is what that vendor’s public page stated in September 2026. A dash means their page says nothing about it — not that the feature is missing.

All of these are real options and some are the right answer for a different job: a licensed enterprise feed if you need contractual guarantees, a scraper actor for a one-off extract, a self-hosted open-source server if you want to run everything yourself.
