## Changelog

### 2026-09-24

*Features*

- Game summaries now include ESPN scoring plays and selected team box-score statistics when available.

*Fixes*

- Date ranges fetch and deduplicate each day instead of forwarding an unsupported ESPN range query; invalid dates produce clear errors.
- ESPN requests have bounded timeout and transient retries and no longer send a branded user-agent that can trigger access denial.

*Changes*

- Console date input is no longer pinned to a past NFL game; docs describe current scoreboards and bounded historical ranges.

### 2026-06-29

*Features*

- Initial release: Run MCP-ready ESPN sports tools for live scores, schedules, standings, teams, summaries, and odds from public ESPN JSON endpoints.

*Changes*

- Updated the default NFL scoreboard date so example and health-check runs return ESPN game records instead of an empty off-season slate.
