Setting up with Highlight

This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:

  1. Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
  2. Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
  3. Configure the plugin with the settings below
    Plugin Name Claudinho — live 2026 World Cup scores for your AI agent (stdio, npm)
    Command (node, npx, python, etc.)

    Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.

  4. Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches

From the repository

Install the CLI globally (npm i -g @claudinho/cli) and run commands like claudinho today or claudinho live. For Cursor CLI, run claudinho init cursor to wire the live-score statusline and MCP config. For Claude Code, run claudinho init claude to add statusline and a score-aware hook. Other MCP clients use the stdio config: { "mcpServers": { "claudinho": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@claudinho/mcp"] } } }. Then ask your agent mid-task—it calls the MCP server and answers with scores.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

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:

<p align="center">
An AI coding agent asked 'did Germany get through?' mid-task — it calls the Claudinho MCP server and answers with the result: Germany 1(3)–1(4) Paraguay, FT (Paraguay won on penalties)
</p>

Surfaces

- CLItoday, 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 cardsclaudinho 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.
