You deploy this MCP server to give AI assistants access to Spurs game results and latest blog posts from the Pounding The Rock RSS feed. It connects your client to real-time Spurs data, so you can ask for scores, player stats, and recent articles and get quick, actionable responses.

How to use

Start your MCP client and point it at the configured server to access the Spurs data tools. You can invoke the available functions to fetch the latest game results, retrieve current player stats, or search for specific Spurs-related posts. Use these tools to fuel chat-based queries, summaries, or reports.

How to install

Prerequisites: Python 3.13 or higher is required on your machine. Ensure you have Python and a command line interface available.

Step 1: Get the code. Clone the repository and enter the project directory.

>>> ```bash
# Clone the MCP server repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/spurs-blog-mcp-server.git
cd spurs-blog-mcp-server

# Or download the ZIP and extract it

Step 2: Install dependencies. Use the Python package manager to install required packages.

>>> ```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 3: Launch the server. Run the MCP server script to start serving data to your MCP client.

>>> ```bash
python pounding_the_rock.py
```

> The server starts without errors when it is running successfully. Keep this terminal open while interacting with your MCP client.

Additional setup for Claude Desktop (optional)

If you want to connect Claude Desktop to this MCP server, follow these steps to configure the client and load the server settings.

1) Install Claude for Desktop. Download and install Claude for Desktop on your operating system.

2) Open the configuration file. On macOS, go to Claude → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. On Windows, place or edit the file at %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json.

3) Add the server configuration. Use the following configuration snippet to register the local MCP server.

>>> ```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spurs-blog": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/REPLACE/WITH/FULL/PATH/TO/spurs-blog-mcp-server/",
        "run",
        "pounding_the_rock.py"
      ]
    }
  }

```

> Important: Replace the directory path with the actual full path to your spurs-blog-mcp-server directory on your machine.
