TradeGauge MCP · free, no account

Give your AI assistant real dynasty trade values

TradeGauge MCP is a free, no-login server that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI tools look up live dynasty trade values and grade trades mid-conversation, instead of guessing from memory. Once it's connected, you can ask things like:

Connect your AI assistant

The server URL is the same everywhere — how you add it depends on the client.

Claude

  1. 1. In Claude — claude.ai in the browser, or the desktop app — open Settings → Connectors.
  2. 2. Choose Add custom connector.
  3. 3. Paste the server URL below and save. No login, no API key.

ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code & GitHub Copilot

These support the Agent Plugins standard, which reads a plugin manifest instead of a raw server URL. The menu name differs by client — look for "Connectors," "Plugins," or "Tools" in settings.

  1. 1. Open the connectors/plugins section of your client's settings.
  2. 2. Add TradeGauge using the manifest URL below.
  3. 3. Approve the connection — there's no account to sign into on either side.

Any other MCP client

For clients that read a config file directly — a fallback that also works for the tools above if you'd rather skip the plugin manifest — add this to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tradegauge": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.tradegaugehq.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart the client afterward if it doesn't pick up new servers automatically.

The 7 tools

Every tool is read-only. None of them can place a trade, edit a roster, or change anything in your league.

ToolWhat it does
tradegauge_search_playersFind a player or rookie pick by name — handles partial names and pick shorthand like "2026 1st" or "1.02".
tradegauge_get_player_valueOne player in depth: value, positional and overall rank, tier, age, plus the players closest to them in value.
tradegauge_evaluate_tradeGrade a trade of any size and return a WIN / EVEN / LOSE verdict, both totals, and the context the raw chart misses.
tradegauge_get_rankingsRanked value lists, overall or by position, dynasty or redraft.
tradegauge_get_value_moversWhich players' values rose or fell the most recently.
tradegauge_get_league_rosterRead a Sleeper league's rosters from a username or league ID — public, read-only.
tradegauge_get_league_activityReview completed Sleeper trades with TradeGauge values and replacement-level free-agent context.

Privacy

No account. No auth. Nothing stored.

There's no sign-in step because there's nothing to sign into — the server has no user accounts. Every tool call is read-only: it looks up a value, or forget_league_roster orget_league_activity, reads public roster data straight from Sleeper's own API using only the username or league ID you give it. TradeGauge doesn't keep a record tying an AI conversation to a person.

Values behind every tool call come fromDynasty Dealer, the same market data that powers the calculator andrankings on this site, updated Aug 30, 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to use the TradeGauge MCP server?
No. The server has no accounts, no login, and no API key. You connect the URL once in your AI client's settings and every tool call after that is anonymous and read-only.
Is my Sleeper username or password required?
get_league_roster only needs a Sleeper username or league ID — both public information you'd share in league chat anyway. There's no Sleeper login, password, or OAuth step involved.
Which AI assistants can connect?
Claude, through a custom connector in Settings. Anything that supports the Agent Plugins standard — ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot — through the plugin manifest. Any other MCP-compatible client can add the server directly with the mcp.json snippet on this page.
Are these the same values as the TradeGauge website?
Yes — every tool reads from the same Dynasty Dealer market dataset that powers the calculator, rankings, and value chart at tradegaugehq.com, refreshed on the same schedule.
How is this different from other fantasy football MCP servers?
League Loom and Flaim connect your league's rosters and matchups to AI chat but don't carry independent trade values of their own. STACKED does something closer, but it re-serves another site's redraft values behind a paid subscription and OAuth login. TradeGauge's tools are dynasty-specific market values, free, with no account on either end.
What if my AI tool has no connector or plugin support yet?
Remote MCP support is landing in most major AI products through 2026, but not every client has it yet. Until yours does, the calculator at tradegaugehq.com works the same way it always has — no connection required.
