Do I need a paid EdgeFinder plan to use Grok MCP?
Yes. The MCP server requires an EdgeFinder subscription because the underlying data queries run against the paid API.
Give Grok access to live NFL, NBA, and MLB data, Polymarket odds, and player-level research through the EdgeFinder MCP server. Ask Grok any betting question and it can pull real data to answer.
EdgeFinder runs a remote MCP server so Grok can query NFL, NBA, MLB, and Polymarket data directly.
Grok connects to EdgeFinder over a hosted HTTPS URL, then pulls play-by-play, injuries, usage splits, and live odds to answer with sourced context instead of speculation.
Grok's custom connectors only accept a URL and don't let you set request headers, so you pass your EdgeFinder API key in the URL as a query parameter.
Step 1
Open your EdgeFinder integrations page and choose Create API key. Copy the key — you'll paste it into the connector URL in the next steps.
Step 2
Grok can't send request headers, so authenticate by adding your API key to the EdgeFinder MCP URL as the api_key query parameter. Replace YOUR_EDGEFINDER_API_KEY with the key you just created.

In Grok, go to Settings → Skills & Connectors → Connectors, click New connector, then choose Custom — "Add your own custom connector".
Step 4
In the Custom Connector dialog, give it a Name (e.g. EdgeFinder), paste your connector URL into Server URL, and click Add Connector.

In a new Grok chat, ask what tools it has available. The EdgeFinder tools should appear.
Yes. The MCP server requires an EdgeFinder subscription because the underlying data queries run against the paid API.
Grok connects to the remote EdgeFinder MCP server by URL over HTTPS as a custom connector. Because Grok can't send request headers, you authenticate by adding your API key to the URL as the api_key query parameter.
