Quick Start

1. Get ESPN Cookies

To access private leagues, you need ESPN authentication cookies:

1. Log in to ESPN Fantasy Baseball
2. Open browser DevTools → Application → Cookies → https://fantasy.espn.com
3. Copy espn_s2 (long string) and SWID (format: {XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX})

2. Add to Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user --transport stdio espn-fantasy \
  --env ESPN_S2=your_espn_s2_cookie \
  --env ESPN_SWID={your_espn_swid_cookie} \
  --env ESPN_LEAGUE_ID=your_league_id \
  --env ESPN_TEAM_ID=your_team_id \
  --env ESPN_SEASON_YEAR=2026 \
  -- uvx espn-fantasy-mcp

Keep the curly braces in the SWID value. uvx handles installation automatically — no separate install step needed.

3. Verify

Restart Claude Code or run /mcp and confirm "espn-fantasy" appears in the server list. Then try: "Show me my fantasy baseball league settings"
