MLB Stats API — schedule, standings, live & rosters (no key)

Major League Baseball data straight from the official MLB Stats API, behind a clean HTTP API (and MCP tool): the game schedule with live status and scores, division standings, the live game feed (linescore, balls/strikes/outs, current play, winning/losing pitchers) and team rosters. Covers before, during and after every game. Built for scoreboards, bots, fantasy tools and agents. No API key. Pay per query.

• 🗓️ Schedule — games for a date (or a team, or a date range) with status, scores and probable pitchers.
• 🏆 Standings — AL / NL division standings: W-L, pct, games back, streak.
• 🔴 Live game — the live feed for a game: inning, count (balls/strikes/outs), score with hits/errors, current play, and the decision (W/L/save) when final.
• 👥 Roster — a team's active roster plus team info.
• ⚾ Official data · no key.

Before, during & after the game

• Before: schedule (matchups, probable pitchers, first pitch).
• During: game — inning, count, live score and the current play, updated in near-real-time.
• After: game (final linescore + winning/losing/save pitchers) and standings.
