RaceHooks MCP

MCP server for RaceHooks — gives AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) direct access to RaceHooks predictive models and analytics for motorsport — race intelligence delivered to your endpoint.

RaceHooks is an independent service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Formula One Management or the FIA. "Formula 1," "F1," and related marks are trademarks of Formula One Licensing BV.

What this does

Exposes your RaceHooks account to an AI assistant as 58 tools, 7 resources, and 6 guided prompts. Every call is made with your account's credentials, so what a tool returns depends on your plan (Free, Developer, or Custom). The data tools cover motorsport (including Formula 1).

Tools

Installation

npm install -g @racehooks/mcp

Or run directly with npx:

npx @racehooks/mcp

Get your API credentials at racehooks.io.

Configuration

Two environment variables are required; the server exits on start-up without them:

export RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
# Optional — defaults to https://api.racehooks.io
export RACEHOOKS_BASE_URL="https://api.racehooks.io"

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "racehooks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@racehooks/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Claude Code does not read MCP servers from .claude/settings.json. Add the server with the CLI:

claude mcp add racehooks \
  -e RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id \
  -e RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret \
  -- npx -y @racehooks/mcp

Add --scope project to write it to a shared .mcp.json in your project, or --scope user to make it available in every project. To check the file in without committing secrets, reference environment variables in .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "racehooks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@racehooks/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_ID": "${RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_ID}",
        "RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET": "${RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your MCP config (.cursor/mcp.json or equivalent):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "racehooks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@racehooks/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cline

In Cline, open MCP Servers → Installed → Configure MCP Servers and add to cline_mcp_settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "racehooks": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@racehooks/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
        "RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
      },
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

Example usage with Claude

Once configured, you can ask Claude things like:

"Check my RaceHooks account health"

"Create an events.race webhook for https://myapp.com/hook, filtering for Ferrari only"

"Compare VER and NOR tyre degradation in the last race"

"Show me which feeds are using the most delivery quota today"

"Set up a fantasy scoring webhook for my VER, NOR, LEC team at https://scoring.myapp.com/hook"

Security

The MCP server runs as a local stdio process — it never binds a network port. Your credentials are passed via environment variables, are sent only to the RaceHooks API (to obtain an access token), and are never included in tool calls or resource URIs.

All API calls are authenticated using OAuth 2 client credentials (token auto-refreshes before expiry).
