Claudinho: MCP server, setup and security

Claudinho is an open-source MCP server published on GitHub that lets an AI agent retrieve World Cup 2026 scores, fixtures, standings and prediction market signals. Its repository has 33 stars and its last commit is from October 24, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.

What Claudinho does

According to its repository: “Live scores, fixtures, standings and read-only prediction-market signals for the 2026 World Cup.”

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard plug between an AI agent and an outside service: once the server is connected, its tools show up in the agent, which decides when to call them. Claudinho is listed under Sports, a category of 27 servers in the directory, where it ranks #10 by stars.

Topics declared by the repository: claude-code, cli, football, futbol, live-scores, soccer.

Installing and connecting Claudinho

Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:

  • npm package (Node.js, usually started with npx)

It works with any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and most recent agents). You add one entry to the client's MCP configuration: server name, start command or URL, environment variables. Project language: TypeScript. Listed systems: macOS, Windows, Linux.

Security: what to check

Connecting an MCP server means installing software that talks straight to your agent: it runs with your rights and the model trusts its tool descriptions. The risk therefore depends on what it can touch and how far its code can be trusted.

None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Claudinho. That does not replace reading the code.

Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.

Project activity and maintenance

Created on June 6, 2026, the arturogarrido/claudinho repository has 33 stars and 4 forks, with 1 open issues. It has more stars than 46% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.13.0 (October 23, 2026).

Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
