Onsides App is meeting parents where many already are.
The youth sports scheduling app has launched an MCP is now able to connect with users’ AI assistants. The Onsides plug-in detector is already available in ChatGPT; it is in the approval process with Claude and Muse.
“It's not rocket science that parents are always busy,” founder and CEO Dave Yoo told Buying Sandlot. “They access whatever information they need at various levels of stress, of chaos, time of day, location, whatever.
“My thesis is AI assistants are just one of those things that some subset of parents are going to be using heavily. And so our goal is to make this aggregated, normalized data for their youth sports lives accessible via that medium in complement with our own native app.”
The integration brings availability and scheduling data into AI conversations; users still need to download the free Onsides mobile app to initiate the connection. Yoo said the MCP will eventually broaden its offerings to include tools like overuse risk monitoring through Onsides’ athlete activity tracker.
“The people providing the backend services for important parts of people's lives — if you don't embrace the wave of change of how your data is accessed, you're going to fall behind,” Yoo said. “Our approach is we are providing a helpful service for parents. However they choose to access it, we’re there to enable that.”
