Q: What features does F1 MCP server provide?

Driver information retrieval: Get F1 drivers for a season, optionally filtered by name or code query.. Race results retrieval: Get race results for a season, optionally filtered by a specific race name.. Session results retrieval: Get session results for a specific race and session type (FP1, FP2, FP3, Qualifying, Sprint, Race).. Circuit information retrieval: Get circuit information and event details for a specific race.. Lap data retrieval: Get all lap data for a specific driver in a specific session.. Fastest lap retrieval: Get the fastest lap information for a specific session.. Telemetry data retrieval: Get detailed telemetry data (speed, throttle, brake, etc.) for a specific lap.. Local data caching and startup performance: Automatically caches F1 data locally (f1_data_cache) to improve performance; first requests for a season may take longer as data is downloaded and cached.

F1 MCP Server 2025: Features & Setup Guide

Overview

f1-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes Formula 1 data through a set of MCP endpoints backed by the FastF1 library. It supports retrieving driver information for a season, race results, session results (FP1, FP2, FP3, Q1, Q2, Q3, Sprint, Race), circuit details, lap data for individual drivers, fastest laps, and detailed telemetry for specific laps. Installation is performed with hatch, and the server can be run via hatch run or directly with Python. On startup, it builds a local cache directory named f1_data_cache to store data to improve responsiveness on subsequent requests; first requests for a season may take longer as data is downloaded and cached. Endpoints include get_drivers_tool, get_race_results_tool, get_session_results_tool, get_circuit_info_tool, get_driver_laps_tool, get_fastest_lap_tool, and get_lap_telemetry_tool. The server recommends setting large timeouts due to FastF1 startup latency, and you can inspect or debug with the MCP inspector. Claude Desktop configuration is provided to help configure clients.
