Use it from your agent
Give your agent this line. It reads SKILL.md, gets a Fous API key and connects the Fous MCP server. Its run then takes the method sports.yahoo.com/get_standings with the inputs above.
Ask your agent
- What are the current NBA standings grouped by conference for the 2025 season?
- Show me the Premier League table for 2024 with points and goal records if available.
- I need the NHL division standings for the 2023 season, including overtime losses and streaks.
- Can you pull up Yahoo Sports standings for the MLB 2025 season by division with games behind?
- Which teams are on top of the Eastern Conference right now in the NBA, and what are their last 10 records?
