MCP Server Migration

Changed

Migrated MCP infrastructure to Mintlify’s native documentation-search MCP for improved reliability and always up-to-date context.

New MCP Server URL:

https://docs.sportsapipro.com/mcp

Update your Codex, Cursor, or Claude Desktop MCP configuration to point to this new URL.

Impact: Existing MCP configurations using the old URL will need to be updated. No authentication changes required.
