Add Football AI Tools to Claude Desktop
This gives Claude the ability to plan sessions, look up laws of the game, log coaching reflections, and create animated drills — all inside your normal Claude conversations.
Takes about 2 minutes. No coding knowledge needed — just copy, paste, and save.
Before you start
You need the Claude Desktop app installed on your computer. If you don't have it yet, download it here (available for Mac, Windows, and Linux). It's free.
Copy this text
This block of text tells Claude where to find the football tools. You don't need to understand what it means. Just click Copy and move on to step 2.

}Open Claude Desktop settings
Open the Claude Desktop app on your computer. In the bottom-left corner of the window, you'll see a small settings icon. Click it.
A settings window will appear. On the left side, look for Developer and click it.
Then click the Edit Config button. This will open a text file on your computer — it might look blank, and that's fine.
Paste and save
In the text file that just opened:
- If there's any existing text, select it all and delete it
- Paste the text you copied in step 1 (Ctrl+V on Windows, Cmd+V on Mac)
- Save the file (Ctrl+S on Windows, Cmd+S on Mac)
- Close the text file
Restart Claude Desktop
Close Claude Desktop completely and open it again. When it reopens, look at the bottom of the chat box — you should see a small hammer icon. That means the football tools are connected and ready to use.
If you don't see the hammer, try closing and reopening Claude Desktop one more time.
Try it out
Start a new conversation in Claude Desktop and type any of these. Claude will automatically use the football tools to answer:

Something not working?
I don't see the hammer icon after restarting
- Make sure you saved the text file before closing it. Go back to step 2, click Edit Config again, and check the text is there. If it's blank, paste it again and save.
- Make sure you copied the entire block of text from step 1, including the very first and very last curly brackets.
- Try closing Claude Desktop completely (not just minimising) and opening it again.
The tools aren't responding
- Check you're connected to the internet.
- The free tier gives you 10 tool uses per day. If you've used them all, they'll work again tomorrow, or you can upgrade for unlimited use.
I can't find the Developer option in settings
Make sure you're using the Claude Desktop app (not the website claude.ai). The Developer option is only in the desktop app. If you still can't find it, your version might need updating — download the latest version from claude.ai/download.
