Fantasy Football Manager: MCP server, setup and security
Fantasy Football Manager is an open-source MCP server that lets an AI agent simulate ESPN fantasy drafts and obtain lineup recommendations within limits. Its repository has 88 stars and its last commit is from October 1, 2026 and it is licensed under MIT.
What Fantasy Football Manager does
According to its repository: “ESPN fantasy football tools: draft simulations, lineup recommendations and browser actions within configurable user limits.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. Fantasy Football Manager is listed under Sports, a category of 27 servers in the directory, where it ranks #3 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: browser-automation, codex, codex-plugin, espn, fantasy-draft, fantasy-football.
Installing and connecting Fantasy Football Manager
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- PyPI package (Python, started with
uvxorpip)
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: Python. Listed systems: Windows, Linux.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to Fantasy Football Manager. 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 September 8, 2026, the krmisystems/fantasy-football-manager repository has 88 stars and 60 forks, with 0 open issues. It has more stars than 64% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 0.4.0 (September 11, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
