Overview

BetTrack is a dual-platform sports betting analytics and tracking solution that combines real-time sports data with intelligent bet management. The system consists of two integrated components:

🤖 MCP Server - A Model Context Protocol server that provides Claude Desktop with direct access to live sports odds, scores, schedules, and team data through natural language queries. Query betting lines, track games, and analyze matchups conversationally through Claude.

📊 Dashboard - A full-featured web application for tracking bets, analyzing odds history, visualizing line movements, and managing futures betting across 7+ major sports. Built with React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL for professional-grade bet tracking and analytics.

Whether you're using Claude Desktop to research bets with natural language or the web dashboard to track your betting portfolio, BetTrack provides the data and tools you need.
