But they still can't access most domain-specific data — it's locked in PDFs, behind paywalls, or formatted for humans.</p> <p>I built a sports sponsorship intelligence API that's natively accessible to AI agents via Model Context Protocol (MCP).</p> <h2> What It Does </h2> <p>Query: <code>GET /api/match-score?club=everton&amp;brand=Revolut</code></p> <p>Response: Structured JSON with:</p> <ul> <li>Match score (1-100)</li> <li>Reasoning</li> <li>Comparable deals</li> <li>Risk factors</li> <li>Suggested deal terms</li> </ul> <h2> Why MCP? </h2> <p>MCP lets AI agents discover and use your API without custom integration.
