Claudinho — live 2026 World Cup scores for your AI agent (stdio, npm)

Live scores for the 2026 men's football tournament — in your terminal, your Claude Code / Cursor CLI statusline, and any MCP client. No API key, no signup; all 104 fixtures ship bundled, so the schedule works offline.

<!-- HERO: real live-match capture from the Jun 11 opener — the statusline flips to
South Korea's 81st-minute winner (1–1 → 2–1) while pytest runs. -->

npx @claudinho/cli today      # try it in 10 seconds — no install, no key
npx @claudinho/cli live       # what's on right now (during match windows)

> ⭐ Like it? Star the repo — a fan project's only scoreboard is its stars. (claudinho star shows you how anytime.)

While matches are live, your Claude Code or Cursor CLI statusline reads:

⚽ 🇳🇴 1–1 🇫🇷 87' · 🇸🇳 1–2 🇮🇶 86'

And claudinho share prints a card made for the group chat:

<!-- DEMO CARD: verbatim output of claudinho share table A. Chosen over a single
match card because it has no fixed date to go stale (a played-and-passed fixture
reads as abandoned). Standings still drift across matchdays — REGENERATE
periodically, especially before any conversion-sensitive moment. Never hand-edit. -->

Group A · standings

1. 🇲🇽 MEX  9 pts · 3-0-0 · +6

2. 🇿🇦 RSA  4 pts · 1-1-1 · -1

3. 🇰🇷 KOR  3 pts · 1-0-2 · -1

4. 🇨🇿 CZE  1 pts · 0-1-2 · -4

Install

Just the CLI

npm i -g @claudinho/cli
claudinho today
claudinho next MEX --tz America/Mexico_City --lang es

Cursor CLI — statusline + MCP

One command wires the live-score statusline and prints the MCP config to paste:

npm i -g @claudinho/cli
claudinho init cursor          # statusline → ~/.cursor/cli-config.json (+ the MCP paste)

<p align="center">

</p>

Restart your agent session to see it. Prefer to paste it yourself? claudinho init cursor --print
emits the snippets, or copy them straight from here:

Statusline — ~/.cursor/cli-config.json:

{

  "statusLine": {

    "type": "command",

    "command": "claudinho prompt",

    "padding": 0,

    "updateIntervalMs": 1000,

    "timeoutMs": 1500

  }

}

MCP tools — ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or a project .cursor/mcp.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "claudinho": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@claudinho/mcp"] } } }

Optional env — a model + context line below the score, or scope to your team:

export CLAUDINHO_CURSOR_META=auto   # model + context % line under the score (recommended)

export CLAUDINHO_TEAM=MEX           # show only your team's match

export CLAUDINHO_FLAGS=off          # 3-letter codes instead of flag emoji (already automatic in Warp)

export CLAUDINHO_DEBUG=1            # print data-provider failure diagnostics to stderr

> Note: Cursor's beforeSubmitPrompt hook doesn't yet reliably inject context into the
> model, so the score-aware hook stays Claude Code-only for now — the statusline and MCP
> server work great in Cursor.

Claude Code — statusline, score-aware hook, MCP

npm i -g @claudinho/cli
claudinho init claude          # statusline + live-score hook, then the MCP one-liner

init claude backs up ~/.claude/settings.json first and is idempotent. Prefer the pieces
à la carte? Run init-statusline, init-hook, and:

claude mcp add claudinho -- npx -y @claudinho/mcp

Restart Claude Code to activate.

> Monorepo / local dev? The init cursor / init claude aliases wire the global
> claudinho. To point a statusline or hook at a local build, use the granular commands
> with --command, e.g. claudinho init-cursor-statusline --command "node ./packages/cli/dist/index.js prompt"
> (and init-statusline / init-hook for Claude Code).

Other MCP clients — Codex, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Zed, VS Code

codex mcp add claudinho -- npx -y @claudinho/mcp    # Codex CLI

Everything else takes the standard stdio config:

{ "mcpServers": { "claudinho": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@claudinho/mcp"] } } }

Then just ask, mid-task — the agent calls the MCP server and answers with the score:

Surfaces

- CLI — today, live, next MEX, table, match <id>, bracket, markets, share, team (name → code, e.g. team "DR Congo") (plus vibe 😎 and star ⭐). --json on everything; TZ-aware via --tz.
- Live statusline — Claude Code & Cursor CLI — every live score inline; reads a local micro-cache, never blocks on the network. One command per agent: claudinho init claude / claudinho init cursor (also tmux & Starship via claudinho prompt).
- Score-aware hook (Claude Code) — a UserPromptSubmit hook that drops the live score into the model's context during matches; zero tokens off-match. (Cursor parity pending — its hook can't reliably inject context yet.)
- MCP server — 9 read-only tools (get_today, get_live, get_match, get_next_fixture, get_standings, get_bracket, get_market_signal, get_share_snippet, get_team) plus my_team / tournament_today prompts.
- Prediction-market signals — a read-only "who's favored" line (market-implied percentages, Source: Polymarket), shown only when a reliable market exists. Informational only — not betting advice. Opt out: --no-markets / CLAUDINHO_MARKETS=off.
- Shareable cards — claudinho share next MEX --copy puts a plain-text match card on your clipboard; claudinho share table A does the same for a group's live standings; claudinho share bracket for the knockout tree.

Speaks en / es / pt / fr, with optional localized commentary flair (¡GOOOOL!) — dial it down with --flavor subtle|off.

_Planned (not shipped yet):_ a desktop notifier and an AI pundit with a public accuracy scorecard.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or account? No. Nothing to sign up for; npx and done.

Does it work offline? The bundled data does — the full schedule, group fixtures, and the knockout bracket structure (all 104 fixtures ship bundled, no key). Anything live hits the network: scores, group standings, and a team's resolved knockout opponent (next once the draw fills in).

Where does the data come from? Live scores from ESPN's public scoreboard (attributed in output as Live data: ESPN); market signals from Polymarket public data. Rate limits respected.

Is the market line betting advice? No. It's read-only, informational-only market data with attribution — no trading, no links — and it never appears on the statusline or hook.

Why no crests, kits, or player photos? Legal-clean by design: facts and emoji flags only.

Flags show as boxed letters (CH, BA)? Some terminals — notably Warp — don't compose
the regional-indicator pairs into flag glyphs, so 🇨🇭 renders as a boxed CH. claudinho
auto-detects Warp and drops the flags: 3-letter codes on the statusline (MEX 1–0 RSA 67')
and plain team names in the hook, today / live / table, and next. Force it anywhere with CLAUDINHO_FLAGS=off, or keep flags
with CLAUDINHO_FLAGS=on.

Windows? Works, but flag emoji rendering varies by terminal — best on macOS/Linux. See the
flags note above; CLAUDINHO_FLAGS=off gives clean codes on any terminal that can't render them.

Why star?

Claudinho is a solo, $0, organic fan project — a GitHub star is the only signal that it's worth maintaining, and the nudge to keep shipping through the final. A star also:

- surfaces it for other devs hunting live scores during the tournament,
- puts new releases in your feed — a desktop notifier, an AI pundit, and other tournaments are on the roadmap,
- takes one click → ⭐ star Claudinho.

New here? CONTRIBUTING.md has the layout, the dev loop, and good first issues.
