Claude / MCP

Connect Claude directly to the AFL database with the Kali MCP server. Ask football questions in plain English — Claude writes the SQL, runs it read-only, and answers from the results. No queries to write yourself.

What it does

Once connected, just ask. For example:

"Which team had the highest average crowd in 2024?"
"Show me the top 10 goal-kickers across the last three rounds."
"Compare Geelong's home vs away win rate since 2016."

It's read-only (Claude can only SELECT), uses the same API key and daily quota as the REST API, and can only see AFL data — never user accounts or keys.

Setup

1. Get an API key

Create one on the API Usage page after signing in. It's shown once — copy it straight away. Get a free API key →

2. Add the server (Claude Code)

claude mcp add --transport http kali-afl \
  https://kali-afl-mcp-173366351243.australia-southeast1.run.app/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

3. Verify

claude mcp list

You should see kali-afl connected. Then just ask Claude an AFL question.

Claude Code only (for now)

This server currently works with Claude Code only. It's a remote server that uses the HTTP transport, which Claude Desktop doesn't support — Desktop only connects to local (stdio) MCP servers, so it can't reach this one. We'll update this page if and when Desktop support becomes available.

Good to know

Read-only. Claude can never change or delete data.
Quota. Each query counts against your daily limit; it resets at midnight UTC. Browsing the schema is free.
Row cap. A single query returns up to 1,000 rows — ask Claude to aggregate for larger sets.
