Get started with EdgeFinder

EdgeFinder is an AI research assistant for NFL, NBA, and MLB. Use it across the web app, the iOS app, the Chrome extension copilot, and the @edgefinder/cli with its built-in MCP server.

Getting started

EdgeFinder combines play-by-play data, player and team stats, injury context, market odds, and Polymarket pricing into one conversational research workflow. There is no password — sign in with a magic link sent to your email, and the same account works everywhere.

  1. Step 1

    Create your account

    Enter your email at chat.edgefinder.io and click the magic link we send you. Every plan includes a 3-day free trial.

  2. Step 2

    Start on web or mobile

    Open the web app at chat.edgefinder.io or download the iOS app, then ask any NFL, NBA, or MLB question in plain English. Works on every plan.

  3. Step 3

    Add the extension or CLI

    Install the Chrome extension to research the page you are on, or the CLI and MCP server (Pro plan) to bring EdgeFinder into your AI tools and terminal.

Web app

The web app at chat.edgefinder.io is the fastest way to start. Ask anything about matchups, player props, parlays, and market prices — EdgeFinder queries real data and returns structured analysis with confidence signals.

Chat research

Break down matchups, evaluate props, compare market prices, and summarize the reasoning behind a bet.

Live odds & game intelligence

Track Polymarket odds movement across NFL, NBA, and MLB games and spot dislocations before they disappear.

Portfolio tracking

Connect your Polymarket account to review open positions, realized P&L, and performance over time.

Plain-English questions

No query language to learn — ask the exact research question you have and EdgeFinder pulls the data to answer it.

iOS app

EdgeFinder AI on iPhone is a native companion to the web app. It pairs the same AI chat research with a live Discover tab built for following games on the go — scores, standings, and Polymarket odds you can tap straight into analysis. Sign in with the same EdgeFinder account; subscriptions are handled through the App Store.

AI chat research

Ask NFL, NBA, and MLB questions in plain English. Conversations are saved as threads you can pin, search, and return to — synced with your account.

Discover: games & standings

Browse live scores and box scores, conference standings, and Polymarket odds. Jump to any NFL week or NBA date with the built-in pickers.

Tap a game to analyze

Spot an interesting matchup in Discover and send it straight into chat — EdgeFinder breaks down the game with live odds context.

One account everywhere

Sign in with the same magic link (or password) as the web app. Your plan and chat history follow you across every device.

Subscriptions started in the app are billed through your Apple account and include the same 3-day free trial. Manage or cancel them anytime from Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. App Store prices may differ from the web pricing below.

Chrome extension

The EdgeFinder Chrome extension is a side-panel copilot that lets you ask EdgeFinder about a specific tab. Click the EdgeFinder action on a tab to open its side panel — the tab is grouped under EdgeFinder and gets its own session. Sign in with the same magic link as the web app.

How sessions work

  • Per-tab and explicit: the copilot only sees a tab after you attach it. Multiple tabs can each have independent EdgeFinder panels at the same time.
  • Read-only by default: it can take a screenshot, extract page text, list interactive elements, scroll, and wait for the page to change — these run automatically.
  • Actions need approval: clicking, typing, and navigating to a new URL require your explicit approval in the side panel before they run.
  • Close anytime: closing and reopening the panel keeps the session; it ends on stop, logout, or closing the tab.

What to use it for

  • – Research a game or player on the page you are reading without copy-pasting into chat.
  • – Compare odds across sportsbooks and prediction markets, with the copilot gathering evidence from each source.
  • – Get fantasy add/drop and waiver help from your roster page — ask about a player you hold and the candidates visible on the page.

CLI

@edgefinder/cli brings EdgeFinder to your terminal. It requires a Pro plan (CLI and MCP access) and an API key.

Install & authenticate

# Run on demand
npx -y @edgefinder/cli ask "who should I bet on tonight?"

# Or install globally
npm i -g @edgefinder/cli

# Save your API key (or set EDGEFINDER_API_KEY)
edgefinder config set api-key ef_live_...

The config lives at ~/.edgefinder/config.json. The EDGEFINDER_API_KEY environment variable takes precedence over the config file.

MCP server

EdgeFinder exposes a Model Context Protocol server so AI agents — Claude, Codex, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible client — can query live sports and market data directly. Connect over a remote HTTP endpoint or run it locally over stdio through the CLI.

Remote endpoint (Streamable HTTP)

https://chat.edgefinder.io/api/mcp

Send Authorization: Bearer ef_live_... when your client supports headers. For connector UIs that only accept a URL, append the key as a query parameter:

https://chat.edgefinder.io/api/mcp?api_key=ef_live_...

Local stdio (Claude Code, Claude Desktop)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "edgefinder": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@edgefinder/cli", "mcp"],
      "env": { "EDGEFINDER_API_KEY": "ef_live_..." }
    }

API keys

Both the CLI and the MCP server authenticate with an API key. Generate and manage keys from /settings/api-keys in the web app.

  • – Keys use the ef_live_ prefix and are shown in full only once — copy yours right away.
  • – Name each key, and list, revoke, or delete keys at any time.
  • – API access requires a Pro plan. The V1 chat endpoint is rate limited (about 1 request per minute, 20 per hour).
  • – The settings page includes copy-paste MCP config and CLI setup instructions.
