OP.GG MCP Server: Seamless Integration of OP.GG Data for AI Applications

Overview: What is OP.GG MCP Server?

The OP.GG MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation designed to facilitate seamless integration of Open Gaming Guild (OP.GG) data with a wide range of AI applications and platforms. This server enables AI agents, such as Claude Desktop, Continue, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients, to retrieve various types of OP.GG data through standardized function calls. By providing a universal adapter for accessing data sources and tools, the OP.GG MCP Server enhances the performance and functionality of AI-driven applications.

🔧 Core Features & MCP Capabilities

The OP.GG MCP Server supports a comprehensive suite of tools tailored to different gaming domains, including League of Legends (LoL), Teamfight Tactics (TFT), and Valorant. Each tool offers specific data retrieval capabilities that can be integrated seamlessly into AI workflows. The core features include:

• Real-Time Data Access: The OP.GG MCP Server allows real-time access to the latest data through server-sent events (SSE) protocols, ensuring that AI applications always have the most current information.

• Tool-Specific Functionality: Each tool provides distinct functionality catering to specific gaming needs. For instance, the tft-play-style-comment tool offers insights into the playstyle of TFT champions, while valorant-agents-composition-with-map retrieves agent composition details for a specific map.

⚙️ MCP Architecture & Protocol Implementation

The OP.GG MCP Server is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture, which standardizes communication between AI applications and external data sources. The protocol ensures seamless integration by defining a consistent interface for data retrieval, supporting features such as real-time updates, authentication, and data formatting.

🚀 Getting Started with Installation

To get started with the OP.GG MCP Server, you can use either automatic installation via Smithery or direct connection to our SSE endpoint. Both methods are designed to be simple and quick, enabling immediate access to OP.GG data.

Installing via Smithery

To install OP.GG MCP for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

$ npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @opgginc/opgg-mcp --client claude --key {SMITHERY_API_KEY}

Adding to MCP Configuration

To add this server to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration, follow the steps below for both Mac/Linux and Windows:

Mac/Linux

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opgg-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli@latest",
        "run",
        "@opgginc/opgg-mcp",
        "--key",
        "{SMITHERY_API_KEY}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windows

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opgg-mcp": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c",
        "npx",
        "-y",
        "@smithery/cli@latest",
        "run",
        "@opgginc/opgg-mcp",
        "--key",
        "{SMITHERY_API_KEY}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

After adding the configuration, restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect.

Direct Connection via SSE

For users who prefer direct connection, using the mcp-remote package is straightforward. Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

Mac/Linux

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opgg-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp-api.op.gg/mcp/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windows

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opgg-mcp": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c",
        "npx",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp-api.op.gg/mcp/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}

This configuration will use the mcp-remote package to establish a direct connection to our SSE endpoint, providing immediate access to all OP.GG data tools.
