Access Formula 1 Data via MCP

f1-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Formula 1 data including race results, driver information, lap times, telemetry, and circuit details using the FastF1 library.

Installation

Installation is done using hatch.

pip install f1-mcp

Running the Server

Using hatch:

hatch run f1_mcp_server.py

Using python directly:

python src/f1_mcp/f1_mcp_server.py

Using the MCP inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector python src/f1_mcp/f1_mcp_server.py

Make sure to set a large timeout for requests, FastF1 takes a long time to load data upon startup.

The server will start and create a local cache directory (f1_data_cache) to store F1 data for faster subsequent requests.

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "f1-stats": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["path/to/your/f1_mcp_server.py"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Replace path/to/your/f1_mcp_server.py with the actual path to your server file.

Available Endpoints

Notes

• Make sure to set a large timeout for requests, FastF1 takes a long time to load data upon startup.
• The server automatically caches F1 data locally to improve performance
• First-time requests for a season may take longer as data is downloaded and cached
• Session types include: FP1, FP2, FP3, Q1, Q2, Q3, Sprint, Race
• Driver codes are typically 3-letter abbreviations (e.g., HAM, VER, LEC)
