UFC fight night, pushed to your socket.
Open one WebSocket, join a bout or the whole card, and receive round, clock, result, and live strike updates the moment Cito has them. No polling loop, and frames do not count against your REST quota.

{ "success": true, "stream": "ufc.live", "websocket": "/api/v1/ufc/live/ws", "redis_subscriber_ready": true, "recommendedPollSeconds": 30}Seamless Integration with our MCP Server
Give Claude, Cursor, and Grok the UFC card. One command writes the MCP config, agents call live and card tools instead of inventing fight IDs, and your key stays on your machine.

Built for the live card
Everything a fight-night app needs to stay current without hammering REST: rooms, pushed updates, live stats, and a clean way back after a dropped connection.
Rooms for a bout or a card
Send one subscribe action with bout:{boutId} or event:{eventSlug} rooms, and leave rooms you no longer need.
Pushed ufc.live.update frames
Status, current round, round clock, both corners, and lagSeconds, in the same fields as the live REST endpoints.
Live strike stats
Significant strikes and takedowns per corner while the fight is on, and full round tables once it ends.
SSE for one-way clients
The same updates as a Server-Sent Events stream on /ufc/live/stream, filterable by boutId or eventSlug.
Reconnect without gaps
Re-subscribe after every reconnect and read /ufc/live/{boutId} once to catch up on anything you missed.
Keepalive built in
Send a ping action to hold the socket open through the quiet minutes between bouts.
Endpoints you can ship with
Start on the live group: open the socket, subscribe to rooms, and fall back to REST to resync.
Live data
Connect to wss://api.citoapi.com/api/v1/ufc/live/ws with your key, wait for the ready frame, then subscribe to bout or event rooms. SSE and polling stay available for clients that cannot hold a socket.
