Kaggle Competition Info

Fetch and display competition information using the Kaggle MCP server.

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Workflow

1. Search or Get Competition

If a competition name is provided:

Use mcp__kaggle__get_competition to get full metadata:

mcp__kaggle__get_competition({
  request: { competitionName: "<competition-name>" }
})

This returns: title, description, category, reward, deadline, evaluation_metric, max_daily_submissions, max_team_size, is_kernels_submissions_only, team_count, etc.

If searching by keyword:

Use mcp__kaggle__search_competitions:

mcp__kaggle__search_competitions({
  request: {
    hasSearch: true,
    search: "<keyword>",
    hasPageSize: true,
    pageSize: 10,
    sortBy: "Relevance"
  }
})

2. Get Data Files Summary

Use mcp__kaggle__get_competition_data_files_summary:

mcp__kaggle__get_competition_data_files_summary({
  request: { competitionName: "<competition-name>" }
})

3. List Data Files

Use mcp__kaggle__list_competition_data_files:

mcp__kaggle__list_competition_data_files({
  request: {
    competitionName: "<competition-name>",
    hasPageSize: true,
    pageSize: 50
  }
})

For directory-based listing:

mcp__kaggle__list_competition_data_tree_files({
  request: {
    competitionName: "<competition-name>",
    hasPageSize: true,
    pageSize: 50
  }
})

4. Display Results

Present a summary table:

Item	Value
Title	...
Category	...
Metric	...
Deadline	...
Prize	...
Teams	...
Daily Submissions	...
Kernels Only	Yes/No
Data Files	count + total size

Notes

• The competitionName is the URL slug (e.g., birdclef-2026, not the full title)
• Use search_competitions with category filter for browsing:
  • Featured, Research, Playground, GettingStarted, Community
• Sort options: Grouped, Prize, EarliestDeadline, NumberOfTeams, RecentlyCreated
