Preview brief
# Integration brief: UFCalendar MMA API

Goal: build a feature on UFCalendar MMA API data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth.

## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them)
- Website: https://www.ufcalendar.com/developers
- Docs: https://api.ufcalendar.com/docs
- Sports: MMA
- Data: Fixtures, Historical data, Odds, Player stats, Results, Team stats
- Protocols: REST, Webhooks; formats: json
- Auth: bearer
- Free plan: Free, 1000 requests per month
- Cheapest paid plan: $19/mo
- Note: Hosted MCP server at api.ufcalendar.com/mcp (52 tools). OpenAPI spec URL not given. Page's comparison table is vendor-authored.

## Verify before writing code
- whether commercial use is allowed on the plan you pick
- exact endpoint paths, parameters and response fields (read the official docs, do not guess)

## Implementation rules
- Keep the API key on the server (environment variable, backend route or edge function); never ship it to the browser.
- Cache responses and respect rate limits; count how many requests each screen triggers.
- Handle errors explicitly: invalid key, quota exceeded (429), missing fields, empty fixtures, timeouts.
- Start with one demo request and log the raw response before building UI on assumed field names.
