Install Sports Betting Stats MCP in Zed
What you need first
- Zed, installed.
- Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Zed connects to it.
Steps
- Open Zed's settings file,
~/.config/zed/settings.json(on Windows%APPDATA%\Zed\settings.json), or.zed/settings.jsonfor one project. - Add this block. If the file already has
context_servers, add only the entry inside it.
{
"context_servers": {
"sports-betting-stats-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=publicrecords/sports-odds-api,scrapemint/sports-odds-scraper,zen-studio/prizepicks-player-props,sports-odds-lab/football-odds-results,hgservices/apify-actor-espn,constructive_calm/understat-football-analytics,jungle_synthesizer/equibase-us-horse-racing-scraper,congism/polymarket-kalshi-arb-finder"
}
}
} - Save the file. Zed starts the server, and Settings › AI › MCP Servers lists it.
Check it worked
Ask Zed: List the tools of sports-betting-stats-mcp.
If it does not start
- 401 Unauthorized
- The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Zed asks.
- Nothing changes after a restart
- The file is not valid JSON any more. Look for a missing comma where the block was added.
