# Pitstop — F1 MCP Server

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.praneethravuri/pitstop -->

An HTTP-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Formula 1 data. Aggregates real-time, historical, and news data from multiple authoritative sources into 11 tools ready for any MCP client.

**v0.5.0** | Author: [Praneeth Ravuri](https://github.com/praneethravuri)

---

## Install

stdio, via [uvx](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) (no clone needed):

```bash
PITSTOP_TRANSPORT=stdio uvx pitstop-f1
```

Via the [Claude Code CLI](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code):

```bash
claude mcp add pitstop -e PITSTOP_TRANSPORT=stdio -- uvx pitstop-f1
```

Claude Desktop (`claude_desktop_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pitstop": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["pitstop-f1"],
      "env": { "PITSTOP_TRANSPORT": "stdio" }
    }
  }
}
```

Docker (HTTP transport, runs the full server incl. the F1 database):

```bash
docker compose up
# → http://localhost:8000/mcp
```

## Overview

Pitstop exposes F1 data as 11 MCP tools over HTTP (default) or stdio. It pulls from FastF1, Jolpica, OpenF1, Wikidata, RSS feeds, and its own seeded F1 database, handling pagination, retries, caching, and concurrency limits transparently.

---

## Data Sources

| Source | Coverage | Type |
|--------|----------|------|
| [FastF1](https://github.com/theOehrly/Fast-F1) | 2018–present | Historical / timing / telemetry |
| [Jolpica-F1](https://github.com/jolpica/jolpica-f1) | 1950–present | Historical (Ergast-compatible) |
| [OpenF1](https://openf1.org/) | 2023–present | Real-time |
| [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/) | All eras | SPARQL queries |
| RSS Feeds (20 sources) | Live | News |
| Pitstop F1 Database | 1950–present | Owned sqlite (seeded from F1DB, self-updated weekly from Jolpica) + per-lap times |

Database refresh: `.github/workflows/db-update.yml` runs weekly to pull new Jolpica results into the owned F1 database.

---

## Transport

### HTTP (default)

```bash
uv sync
uv run pitstop
# → http://localhost:8000
```

MCP client config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pitstop": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### stdio (opt-in)

```bash
PITSTOP_TRANSPORT=stdio uv run pitstop
```

MCP client config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pitstop": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/pitstop", "pitstop"],
      "env": { "PITSTOP_TRANSPORT": "stdio" }
    }
  }
}
```

## Health API

| Endpoint | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `GET /health` | Per-source status (FastF1, f1db, Jolpica, OpenF1, RSS) |
| `GET /live` | Liveness probe |
| `GET /ready` | Readiness probe |

Example `/health` response:

```json
{
  "version": "0.5.0",
  "overall": "ok",
  "sources": [
    { "name": "fastf1",  "status": "ok", "latency_ms": 2,   "detail": "cache writable" },
    { "name": "f1db",    "status": "ok", "latency_ms": 1,   "detail": "" },
    { "name": "jolpica", "status": "ok", "latency_ms": 134, "detail": "" },
    { "name": "openf1",  "status": "ok", "latency_ms": 98,  "detail": "" },
    { "name": "rss",     "status": "ok", "latency_ms": 210, "detail": "" }
  ]
}
```

`overall` is `"ok"` / `"degraded"` / `"down"`. HTTP 200 / 207 / 503.

---

## Wikidata SPARQL

`query_wikidata` runs SPARQL queries against [Wikidata](https://query.wikidata.org/) for biographical and historical F1 facts not covered by race APIs.

Only `SELECT` and `ASK` queries are accepted (read-only). Always include `LIMIT` in your query.

Example — find F1 drivers with their birthdate:

```sparql
SELECT ?driver ?driverLabel ?birthDate WHERE {
  ?driver wdt:P31 wd:Q5 ;
          wdt:P641 wd:Q1968 ;
          wdt:P569 ?birthDate .
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" }
} ORDER BY DESC(?birthDate) LIMIT 10
```

---

## Pagination

All list-returning tools accept `page` (1-based, default 1) and `page_size` (defaults vary per tool: 10–50). Responses include a `pagination` block:

```json
{
  "data": [...],
  "pagination": {
    "page": 1,
    "page_size": 20,
    "total_items": 47,
    "total_pages": 3,
    "has_next": true,
    "has_prev": false
  }
}
```

---

## Configuration

| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `PITSTOP_TRANSPORT` | `http` | `http` or `stdio` |
| `PITSTOP_HOST` | `0.0.0.0` | Bind address (HTTP only) |
| `PITSTOP_PORT` | `8000` | Listen port (HTTP only) |
| `PITSTOP_ENV` | `development` | `development` or `production` |
| `PITSTOP_LOG_LEVEL` | Depends on `PITSTOP_ENV` | `DEBUG` if development, else `INFO` |
| `PITSTOP_LOG_FORMAT` | Depends on `PITSTOP_ENV` | `text` if development, else `json` |
| `PITSTOP_ENABLE_CACHING` | `true` | Enable HTTP response and FastF1 disk caching |
| `PITSTOP_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS` | `300` | HTTP response cache time-to-live (seconds) |
| `PITSTOP_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED` | `false` | Enable concurrent-call limiting |
| `PITSTOP_RATE_LIMIT_PER_HOUR` | `3600` | Max concurrent calls (derived from per-hour quota) |
| `FASTF1_CACHE` | `cache` | FastF1 cache directory path |

---

## Caching

Pitstop uses in-memory HTTP response caching (via [Hishel](https://github.com/karpetrosyan/hishel)) for GET requests with 200 responses. This keeps tool calls inside upstream rate limits:

- **Jolpica**: 4 req/s, 500/hr
- **OpenF1**: 3 req/s, 30/min
- **Wikidata**: Query complexity limits
- **RSS**: Per-feed redirects cached

FastF1 maintains its own disk cache in `FASTF1_CACHE` directory. Control caching via:
- `PITSTOP_ENABLE_CACHING=true` (default)
- `PITSTOP_CACHE_TTL_SECONDS=300` (default)

uv run pytest
uv run ruff check src/
