Connect Claude
Add sports data to Claude Code or the Claude Desktop app.
In your profile, open API Access (MCP) and click Create key (requires Optimal+). Copy the connection URL it gives you — that's what you'll paste below, in place of YOUR_KEY.
Claude Code (CLI)
Run a single command
Assumes you have the Claude CLI installed. Add the Optimal MCP server with your personal URL (keep the quotes — the ? matters in a shell):
claude mcp add --transport http -s user optimal "https://mcp.tangiers.ai/?key=YOUR_KEY"
Start using it
The tools are immediately available. Try asking:

Paste your connection URL
Paste your personal Optimal MCP URL from your profile:

Always allow (optional)
Click Configure on the connector, then enable Always allow so Claude can use the tools without asking each time.
