Cricket MCP servers: the free options and YorkerAPI
The cricket MCP servers on GitHub are free wrappers you run yourself. What they cover, what they leave out, and when to use them instead of YorkerAPI.
Comparison facts checked November 3, 2026. YorkerAPI data last refreshed 2026-11-12 17:05 UTC, newest data through 2026-11-12. Changelog
The cricket MCP servers we found are free open-source wrappers you run yourself: mavaali/cricket-mcp, which loads Cricsheet ball-by-ball into DuckDB and exposes 37 tools (3 stars when checked), a scraper for Cricbuzz, and one for the IPL only. None of them has sportsbook prices, and none is hosted.
YorkerAPI is a hosted cricket MCP server and REST API: there is nothing to install or load, it covers every format and competition, and it adds match-winner prices by sportsbook from mid-2020, joined to the same matches. If you are comfortable running a database and only need ball-by-ball, the free server is a fair choice.
