Seamless Integration with our MCP Server

Give Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT the CS2 data. One command writes the MCP config; agents call live scoreboard, team map stat, opening duel and transfer tools instead of inventing match IDs, and your key stays on your machine.

How to choose a CS2 data provider

Check four things before you commit: whether live data is real-time on the plan you can afford, how far back match and player history goes, whether commercial use is allowed, and whether you can test with real data before paying.

Here, live data is real-time from Pro, history runs 30 days on Free, 90 on Starter and the full archive on Pro, and commercial use starts on Starter. A free key tests every CS2 endpoint.

CS2 API is operated by Cito API and is not affiliated with PandaScore.
