Grok Fantasy Football: connect the draft assistant
Grok supports remote MCP connectors, so it can call our draft tools directly. One URL, no API key, no account — then you ask it for the board, the sleepers, or your next pick and it answers with live projections instead of a summary of someone's rankings post.
Quick Answer
As of August 29, 2026, to use Grok for fantasy football, add https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcp at grok.com/connectors as a New Connector → Custom (Streamable HTTP, no API key), then ask Grok "Using Prediction Markets Picks, who should I draft at pick 7 in half-PPR?" — it calls eight free draft tools over a calibrated 2026 half-PPR projection model and answers with a ranked board, floor and ceiling per player, and the gaps between the model and consensus ADP.
Setup takes about a minute and there is nothing to install.
The same URL works in Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor — one server, four hosts.
Single-player lookups are never capped; the list tools go deeper once unlocked.
Connect it in three steps
Grok gets its own walkthrough because its path is genuinely different — the other hosts take a bare URL in one dialog, Grok has a connectors page.
1
Open grok.com/connectors
In Grok, go to grok.com/connectors and choose New Connector, then Custom. This is the remote-MCP path — it is a different flow from the other hosts, which take a bare URL in a single dialog.
2
Paste one URL
Paste https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcp as the server URL. Transport is Streamable HTTP. There is no API key field to fill in and no account to create — leave the credential fields empty and save.
3
Ask Grok to draft
Start a new chat and paste any prompt below. Grok calls the tools directly and answers with real projections instead of a summary of somebody's article. Naming "Prediction Markets Picks" in the first prompt of a chat makes it reach for the connector reliably.
The URL, in full
https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcpSix prompts to paste into Grok
Copy any of these verbatim once the connector is saved. Each one reaches a different tool, and the tool name is listed so you know what it is doing.
“Using Prediction Markets Picks, who should I draft at pick 7 in a 12-team half-PPR league?”
One recommendation for your exact slot, weighing positional need against the best value still on the board, with the alternatives it considered.
who_do_i_draft“Show me the Prediction Markets Picks draft board for 2026, half-PPR.”
The ranked overall board — projection, floor, ceiling, bye week and where the room is actually taking each player.
draft_board“Give me the biggest fantasy sleepers where the model disagrees most with ADP.”
The players our projection likes far more than consensus ADP does, largest gap first — and the busts in the same call.
sleepers_and_busts“Compare Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson for 2026 half-PPR.”
Two to four players side by side — projection, floor, ceiling, positional rank — with a recommendation and the reason for it.
compare_players“It is pick 34 and these players are gone: [paste your list]. Who is the best available?”
The best remaining players given your pick number and who is already off the board. Works mid-draft.
best_available“Where does ESPN ADP disagree most with the model right now?”
Per-platform ADP gaps — the players your specific platform is mispricing against our projection.
adp_market_gapsWhat the sleepers prompt returns right now
These are live rows off the same board Grok reads, as of August 29, 2026 — the players our model rates furthest from where the room is taking them. A positive gap means we have the player above consensus; a negative one means we would let someone else take him.

Half-PPR, 2026. Projections are model estimates, not guarantees. The full board and every flag are on the draft desk and in the free draft kit.
What it looks like in a chat
Connecting the server, then asking for the board, the best available at your pick, and a single who-do-I-draft recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect Grok to a fantasy football draft assistant?
Go to grok.com/connectors, choose New Connector, then Custom, and paste https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcp as the server URL with Streamable HTTP as the transport. Leave the credential fields empty — there is no API key and no account. Save it, start a new chat, and ask Grok something like "Using Prediction Markets Picks, who should I draft at pick 7 in half-PPR?" It calls the draft tools directly and answers with live projections.
Does Grok do fantasy football?
On its own Grok answers from what it has read, which for fantasy football means articles and rankings of unknown vintage. Connected to a data server it does something different: it calls a live projection model and returns actual numbers — a ranked board, floor and ceiling on every player, and the specific gaps between the model and consensus ADP. The connector is what turns "what does the internet think" into "what does the model say".
Do I need a paid Grok subscription or an API key for this?
You need a Grok account that can add custom connectors; that is on xAI's side and their plans decide it. On our side there is nothing to pay for and nothing to create — the eight draft tools answer anonymously, rate limited per IP like our free calculators. Single-player lookups are never capped. The list tools return a useful slice anonymously and go deeper once unlocked, which happens in the chat you are already in rather than through an inbox.
Does this work in the middle of a live draft?
Yes, and it is the main way people use it. Give it your pick number and the players already gone and it returns the best available; give it your current roster and it returns one recommendation weighing need against value. You paste those lists in the prompt — there is no live sync to a draft room, which also means it works in any league on any platform.
Why does Grok sometimes answer without using the connector?
Because it decides per message whether a tool is worth calling. Naming the source in the prompt — "Using Prediction Markets Picks, …" — makes it reach for the connector reliably, and it usually keeps using it for the rest of that chat. If an answer looks like generic advice with no numbers attached, it did not call the tools; say "use the Prediction Markets Picks connector" and ask again.
Does the same connector work in Claude and ChatGPT?
Yes — it is one server and one URL. Claude Code takes it with claude mcp add --transport http predictionmarketspicks https://predictionmarketspicks.com/api/mcp/mcp, and Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, ChatGPT and Cursor all take that same URL as a custom connector or remote MCP server. Nothing about the tools or the data changes between hosts; only the setup dialog does.
