Connect Inside the Ten to your LLM

Inside the Ten exposes a remote Model Context Protocol server so Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-capable client can read your leagues, rosters, and Inside the Ten's proprietary model layer — projections, Keys/Signals, tFPA matchups, and dynasty trade value — right inside your chat. Bring your own LLM; the numbers are the same ones the Inside the Ten app uses.

Read-only by construction. The server advertises tools only — no write path exists. It can never draft, add/drop, or change your leagues.

1. Get an API token

Sign in to Inside the Ten, then open your API tokens settings and create a token. The full pylon_… secret is shown once — copy it immediately; Inside the Ten stores only a hash. Treat it like a password. You can revoke it any time from the same page.

2. Endpoint

The server speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over streamable HTTP at a single endpoint, authenticated with your token as a bearer credential:

Endpoint

POST https://pylonfantasy.fly.dev/mcp
Authorization: Bearer pylon_YOUR_TOKEN

A normal app login (JWT) is not accepted here — only pylon_ tokens authenticate the MCP surface.

3. Claude Desktop

Add Inside the Ten to claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config). The mcp-remote bridge connects Claude to the remote endpoint and forwards your token. Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pylon": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://pylonfantasy.fly.dev/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer pylon_YOUR_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Requires Node.js (for npx). Once connected, ask Claude e.g. "Use Inside the Ten to show my projections for week 1" and it will call get_projections.

4. ChatGPT

In ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors (Developer mode / custom connectors, available on paid plans) and add a custom MCP connector:

• Server URL: https://pylonfantasy.fly.dev/mcp
• Authentication: Bearer token — paste your pylon_… token

Save, then enable the Inside the Ten connector in a chat. ChatGPT will discover the tools via tools/list and call them on demand.

5. Any MCP client

Any client that supports remote MCP works the same way: point it at the endpoint, send your token as an Authorization: Bearer header, and speak JSON-RPC 2.0 (protocol version 2024-11-05). A raw tools/call looks like:

curl

curl -s https://pylonfantasy.fly.dev/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pylon_YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
       "params":{"name":"whoami","arguments":{}}}'

6. Tool reference

Nine read-only tools. Every result is a JSON-RPC response whose result.content[0].text is a JSON string carrying a data object and a provenance block — modelVersion (raw for source data, or the model that produced it), dataAsOf (when the underlying data was synced/computed), and generatedAt. Cite provenance for freshness; it's first-class, not an afterthought.

whoamimodel: raw

Returns the Inside the Ten user id of the authenticated token — a connectivity / identity smoke check.

No arguments.
