How to Set Up and Use AFL
The AFL MCP Server is a .NET 9-based MCP server that retrieves Australian Football League data from the public Squiggle API and makes it available to AI clients like Claude Desktop. It exposes tools for fetching live standings, historical game results, team information, tipping predictions, power rankings, and projected ladder positions — all without requiring any API key. AFL fans and data analysts can use it to ask natural language questions about current seasons, past rounds, and team performance trends.
Prerequisites
- .NET 9.0 SDK or later installed (dotnet --version to verify)
- Internet connectivity to reach the Squiggle API (api.squiggle.com.au)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
Clone the repository
Clone the mcp-afl-server repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/willvelida/mcp-afl-server.git
cd mcp-afl-serverRestore .NET dependencies
Restore NuGet packages for the project before running or building.
dotnet restore src/Build the project
Compile the project to ensure there are no build errors before wiring it into your MCP client.
dotnet build src/ --configuration ReleaseConfigure Claude Desktop to run the server
Add the server to your Claude Desktop MCP configuration using dotnet run. Replace the path with the absolute path to your cloned src directory.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-afl-server": {
"command": "dotnet",
"args": ["run", "--project", "/absolute/path/to/mcp-afl-server/src", "--no-build"]
}
}
}Restart Claude Desktop and test an AFL query
Restart Claude Desktop to pick up the new config, then ask an AFL question to verify the server is working and returning data from Squiggle.

dotnet command not found when Claude Desktop tries to start the server
Install the .NET 9 SDK from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download and ensure the dotnet binary is in your system PATH. On macOS, you may need to add /usr/local/share/dotnet to PATH in your shell profile.
Server starts but returns no data or empty responses
The server fetches data from api.squiggle.com.au. Confirm your machine has outbound internet access and the Squiggle API is reachable: curl 'https://api.squiggle.com.au/?q=standings' should return JSON.
'--no-build' flag causes an error about no published output
Run dotnet build src/ --configuration Release first to produce the compiled output, then the --no-build flag will work correctly in the Claude Desktop config.
