What Challonge (BYOK) is for

Challonge (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Challonge data through the Challonge API with a key you supply (Challonge API v1 key). Read-only: 6 tools (get_me, list_tournaments, get_tournament, list_participants, list_matches, list_stations). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.challonge.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Challonge. Challonge and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Which Challonge account is my API key connected to?"
• "Which of my Challonge tournaments are in progress?"
• "What are the details of Challonge tournament 12345?"
• "Who is playing in Challonge tournament 12345 and what are the seeds?"
• "Which matches of Challonge tournament 12345 are still open?"
• "Which stations are used in Challonge tournament 12345?"

What it does

• get_me: Show the Challonge account that owns the API key (username and avatar link).
• list_tournaments: List tournaments organised by the key's owner, filterable by state, format and creation date. Free keys are limited to 500 requests per month.
• get_tournament: Get one tournament: name, URL slug, format, game, start time, privacy and whether a group stage is used.
• list_participants: List the participants of a tournament with seed, final rank, group and whether they are still active.
• list_matches: List the matches of a tournament with round, identifier, state, score and winner, filterable by state or participant.
• list_stations: List the stations (setups or streams) of a tournament and the match each one is hosting.

BYOK key

You bring your own Challonge Challonge API v1 key (https://challonge.com/settings/developer). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.challonge.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Challonge (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Challonge (BYOK) is. Challonge (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Challonge data: Read your Challonge tournament brackets, participants, matches and stations with your own API v1 key. You bring your own Challonge Challonge API v1 key; the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Challonge call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.challonge.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Challonge rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What Challonge receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Challonge's own terms and privacy policy. Challonge acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Challonge gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Challonge data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Challonge (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Challonge at any time to end all access.

Children. Challonge (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Challonge's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
