}In ChatGPT, add it as a custom connector (developer mode) with the server URL https://mcp.birdieapi.com/mcp?key=YOUR_API_KEY. Listing tools works without a key; calling one needs it.
Ask it things like
- “Who are the ten best players right now by strokes versus the field, and how has the leader's rating moved this season?”
- “Show Scottie Scheffler's scorecard for the final round of the last Masters, hole by hole.”
- “How has Rory McIlroy played at the Masters every year, and which hole has cost him the most?”
- “Which holes played hardest at the last U.S. Open, and how many birdies did the field make on each?”

Questions
What is the BirdieAPI MCP server?
A hosted Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.birdieapi.com/mcp. Add that URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and the assistant can call 13 read-only golf data tools directly: no scraping, no local install.
Do I need to run anything locally?
No. It is a remote server over Streamable HTTP. Your client connects to one URL and sends your API key as an x-api-key header or a ?key= parameter.
What does it cost?
Every account starts with 500 free credits and no card. Tools cost 1 to 5 credits a call, a call that returns no data is refunded, and plans start at $19/month for 10,000 credits.
Is it the same data as the REST API?
Yes. Every MCP tool is also a REST endpoint with the same arguments and response, so an agent prototype and production code read identical data.
Which clients work?
Anything that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT (connectors), Cursor, Cline, Windsurf and agent frameworks with an MCP client. It is also listed on the official MCP Registry, Smithery and Glama.
