Summary
Connects Claude to the balldontlie.io API for NBA statistics. You get four tools: players, games, season_averages, and stats. Requires a free API key from balldontlie.io to work. Part of the Pipeworx gateway system, which means you can either use this standalone or tap into their broader collection of 250+ data sources. Includes an ask_pipeworx tool that lets you query in natural language instead of calling individual endpoints. Reach for this when you're building basketball analytics, need real NBA data in your agent workflows, or want to answer sports questions without manually parsing stats APIs.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.
