Very cool. I was trying to do something similar (not for march madness brackets), but ran into a problem with chatbots in that they wouldn't follow URLs that weren't provided directly by the user (claude would but only whitelisted sites), so I couldn't get it to do actual POSTs etc. for authentication. Claude.ai would instead create react app (fragments). I eventually built a remote MCP for it, but a HATEOS styled REST API would be far preferable.
Any tips?
No - I think we are months (weeks/Days?) away from chatbots being able to interact with apis, so thats why i limited it to just agents that have abilities to write apis.
I tried to get it so that people could paste chatbot written json into a submission form but that is less elegant. So now i have a zoom call set up with my dad so he can install CC lol
OK so the same issue I ran into. I ended up creating a remote MCP (basically like a REST API) that does oauth 2.1. If interested you can check it out here: https://github.com/pairshaped/gleam-mcp-todo
Thats cool!
