fpl_find_playerLABSCO SUMMARY
Built around decisions, not around endpoints.
Most of the tool names describe a question an FPL manager asks — analyse this transfer, find the easy fixtures, compare me against this rival — rather than an API route, and the prompt templates chain several of them into one answer. The fuzzy name matching is the small thing that keeps it usable: you can type a surname the way you say it and still get the right player.
What it is
A Python server over the official Fantasy Premier League API, aimed at the weekly decisions an FPL manager actually makes — who to transfer, who to captain, which fixture run to buy into, and how your mini-league rivals are set up. Alongside the tools it ships URI resources for raw bootstrap data and a set of prompt templates that chain several tools into one analysis.

Requirements
Nothing — no account, no key, no FPL login. The fastest path is uvx fpl-mcp-server straight from your client config; a prebuilt image, ghcr.io/nguyenanhducs/fpl-mcp-server:latest, is there if you prefer Docker. Package fpl-mcp-server, version 1.0.3, stdio transport. Bootstrap data is cached for four hours, so squad prices and ownership are near-live rather than instant.
Setup effort
One command — uvx fpl-mcp-server
USE CASES
01
Deciding a transfer before the deadline
Name the player out and the player in and get the comparison, with the fixtures behind it.
02
Picking a captain
Ask for the week's captaincy options rather than defaulting to the highest-owned name.
03
Finding a differential in your mini-league
Compare your squad against a rival's and look at what the league is not buying.
04
Planning several weeks ahead
Find the teams with the easiest upcoming runs and check chip availability before committing.
