Real-time sports & events data for AI agents via Shipp. An agent skill from moonpay/skills.

  • Works in 3 steps: Shipp API key — register at… → MoonPay CLI — npm install -g @moonpay/cli → Funded wallet — USDC.e on Polygon for…
  • The user wants live scores
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Prerequisites, Setup Workflow and Shipp API, plus 7 more sections
  • Calls curl and npm; reaches api.shipp.ai; needs SHIPP_API_KEY

What it does

Shipp Sports Data is an agent skill from moonpay/skills. Real-time sports & events data for AI agents via Shipp. Use when the user wants live scores, schedules, or game events for NBA, NFL, NCAA Football, MLB, or Soccer — especially to power prediction market trading strategies on Polymarket or Kalshi using a MoonPay wallet.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Trading and backtesting. It works with Polymarket, Kalshi and Circle USDC. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to move money — on-ramps, swaps, wallets, deposits, and more via the MoonPay CLI. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants live scores
  • Game events for NBA
  • Soccer — especially to power prediction market trading strategies on Polymarket
  • Kalshi using a MoonPay wallet

Example prompts

  • “/shipp-sports-data”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in SHIPP_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Shipp API key — register at https://platform.shipp.ai
  2. MoonPay CLI — npm install -g @moonpay/cli
  3. Funded wallet — USDC.e on Polygon for Polymarket trades

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aa672ab. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.shipp.ai

    Also links to:

    • platform.shipp.ai
    • docs.shipp.ai
    • npmjs.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • SHIPP_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Shipp Sports Data loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Shipp — Real-Time Sports Data + MoonPay Trading

Overview

Shipp gives AI agents live, authoritative sports data — schedules, scores, and events as they happen. Pair it with a MoonPay-managed wallet to pipe live scores directly into Polymarket or Kalshi trading logic.

Supported sports: NBA, NFL, NCAA Football (NCAAF), MLB, Soccer

Prerequisites

  1. Shipp API key — register at https://platform.shipp.ai
  2. MoonPay CLI — npm install -g @moonpay/cli
  3. Funded wallet — USDC.e on Polygon for Polymarket trades
bash
export SHIPP_API_KEY="sk_..."

Setup Workflow

bash
# 1. Create a MoonPay wallet for your sports agent
mp wallet create --name "shipp-sports-agent"
mp wallet list  # note your Polygon address

# 2. Fund with USDC.e (for trading) and POL (for gas)
mp buy --token usdc_polygon --amount 100 --wallet <polygon-address> --email <email>
mp buy --token pol_polygon --amount 5 --wallet <polygon-address> --email <email>

# 3. Register wallet with Polymarket (one-time)
mp prediction-market user create --provider polymarket --wallet <polygon-address>

# 4. Create a Shipp connection for your target market
# (see Shipp API section below)

Shipp API

Create a Connection (one-time per query type)
bash
curl -X POST https://api.shipp.ai/api/v1/connections/create \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHIPP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"filter_instructions": "NBA games with final scores from the last 24 hours"}'
# → returns { "connection_id": "conn_..." }
Poll for Live Updates
bash
curl -X POST https://api.shipp.ai/api/v1/connections/{connection_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHIPP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"limit": 20, "since_event_id": "<last_seen_id>"}'
Get Sport Schedule (±7 days)
bash
curl "https://api.shipp.ai/api/v1/sports/nba/schedule?api_key=$SHIPP_API_KEY"
# sports: nba | nfl | ncaaf | mlb | soccer
List Saved Connections (free)
bash
curl "https://api.shipp.ai/api/v1/connections?api_key=$SHIPP_API_KEY"

Live Data → Trade Loop

Create a connection once, then poll every 15 seconds for live events:

bash
# 1. Create connection (run once — save the connection_id)
curl -X POST https://api.shipp.ai/api/v1/connections/create \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHIPP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"filter_instructions": "NBA games with final scores from the last 24 hours"}'
# → { "connection_id": "conn_..." }

# 2. Poll for updates (run every 15s, passing last seen event_id)
curl -X POST https://api.shipp.ai/api/v1/connections/{connection_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHIPP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"limit": 20, "since_event_id": "<last_event_id>"}'

On signal (final score, lead change, key event), execute the Polymarket trade:

bash
mp prediction-market position buy \
  --wallet shipp-sports-agent \
  --provider polymarket \
  --tokenId <outcome-token-id> \
  --price 0.85 \
  --size 50

Wallet Operations

bash
# Check balance
mp token balance list --wallet <polygon-address> --chain polygon

# Sign a message (EIP-191)
mp message sign --wallet shipp-sports-agent --chain polygon --message "I own this wallet"

# Withdraw winnings to bank
mp virtual-account offramp create \
  --name "Offramp" \
  --bankAccountId <bank-account-id> \
  --stablecoin usdc \
  --chain polygon

# Hardware wallet (high security)
mp wallet hardware add --name "shipp-sports-ledger"

Key token addresses on Polygon:

  • USDC.e: 0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174
  • POL (gas): native

End-to-End Workflow

  1. Get Shipp API key → https://platform.shipp.ai
  2. mp wallet create --name "shipp-sports-agent"
  3. mp buy --token usdc_polygon --amount 100 --wallet <address> --email <email>
  4. mp buy --token pol_polygon --amount 5 --wallet <address> --email <email>
  5. Create Shipp connection for target sport/market
  6. Poll Shipp every 15–30s for live game events
  7. On signal (final score, lead change, key event): execute Polymarket trade
  8. mp virtual-account offramp create to withdraw winnings
