REST API
Send natural-language questions and structured context to the partner API from any backend or serverless application.
EdgeFinder for Developers
Build sports intelligence into any product
EdgeFinder exposes the same sports research engine that powers its consumer experiences through a partner REST API, JavaScript SDK, CLI, and remote MCP server. Send a question with structured application context and receive analysis grounded in live and historical sports data.
- One partner endpoint
- Structured application context
- Organization-scoped usage
Choose the interface that fits your product
The API, SDK, and MCP server are interfaces to one analysis platform, not separate sports models with different answers.
JavaScript SDK
Use the typed EdgeFinder client in partner applications for authentication, request construction, conversation state, and error handling.
Remote MCP server
Connect supported agent clients to EdgeFinder over Streamable HTTP so they can select sports research tools during a conversation.
CLI
Research from the terminal, query schedules and standings, inspect odds, or expose EdgeFinder to local MCP clients.
Workflows
Built for product-owned context
Embedded assistant
Pass roster, betslip, market, portfolio, article, or selected-page context so the response addresses what the user is already viewing.
Server-side analysis
Call EdgeFinder from an existing application workflow and keep partner identity, end-user identity, and usage isolated.
Agent tool
Give an AI client access to current sports data through MCP instead of asking the model to answer from memory.
Example
One endpoint with your application context
The partner API accepts a question plus structured state owned by your product.

}Frequently asked questions
What teams need to know
What is the public partner API URL?
Partner applications integrate against https://api.edgefinder.io/v1/chat. The platform dashboard manages organization keys, usage, and integration settings.
When should I use MCP instead of the REST API?
Use MCP when an AI client should discover and call EdgeFinder tools during a conversation. Use the REST API or SDK when your own application controls the request and user experience.
Can EdgeFinder connect directly to ChatGPT?
ChatGPT can connect to remote MCP servers directly, without Codex. EdgeFinder is not listed as a supported ChatGPT integration yet because its current MCP authentication uses an EdgeFinder API key, while a public authenticated ChatGPT plugin requires OAuth 2.1 and OpenAI review.
Can I pass private application state?
Yes. Partner requests can include structured roster, market, position, portfolio, betslip, page, and user-state context. Send only the fields needed for the requested analysis.
