Cloud9

Cloud9 Esports, Inc. is a North American professional esports organization founded in 2013 by Jack and Paullie Etienne and headquartered in Santa Monica, California. It fields competitive rosters across League of Legends, VALORANT, VALORANT Game Changers, Call of Duty and Rainbow Six, and its trophy case includes the inaugural Overwatch World Championship, the 2018 Rocket League World Championship, multiple LCS titles and a Counter-Strike Major. Beyond competition it runs Club9 (a membership and fan community at club9.cloud9.gg), an official Shopify merchandise store at store.cloud9.gg, and a content and creator division. Cloud9 publishes no developer program and no OpenAPI, but its public web estate is machine-readable: cloud9.gg runs on WordPress and serves an anonymous, unauthenticated WordPress REST API at /wp-json/ covering news posts, pages, media and the Cloud9-specific players, teams, achievement and case-study content types, alongside a remote Model Context Protocol server advertised through RFC 8414 and RFC 9728 discovery metadata.

Cloud9 publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Esports, Gaming, Entertainment, and Media.

Cloud9’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 23 more developer resources.

  description: 'cloud9.gg runs on WordPress (WP Cloud / Automattic Atomic hosting) and serves the standard WordPress REST
    API anonymously at https://cloud9.gg/wp-json/. The discovery index enumerates 277 routes across 14 namespaces; the wp/v2
    namespace alone carries 118 routes. Read access requires no credentials and no key. Alongside the core content types (89
    posts, 17 pages, 1,175 media items, 19 categories, 3 users, a 769-item search index) the site registers four Cloud9-specific
    custom post types that make the roster and record queryable: players (47), teams (45), achievement (564) and case-study
    (7). Responses carry X-WP-Total and X-WP-TotalPages pagination headers and RFC 8288 Link headers, and every collection
    publishes a real JSON Schema over HTTP OPTIONS. Write operations are advertised on the same routes but require WordPress
    authentication (application passwords), so the public surface is read-only.'

      index and from HTTP OPTIONS schema responses on each collection. No Documentation or APIReference pointer is emitted
      for this API: the only reference that describes it is WordPress''s own upstream documentation, which Cloud9 neither
      authored nor links to, and crediting Cloud9 with it would overstate what this company publishes.'

  name: Cloud9 MCP Server
  description: A remote Model Context Protocol server published on cloud9.gg and advertised through RFC 8414 OAuth authorization-server
    metadata and RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata. It is the WordPress MCP adapter fronting the Cloud9 content estate,
    exposed at the WordPress REST namespace `mcp` with two servers — mcp-oauth-server and mcp-adapter-default-server — plus
    the companion wp-abilities/v1 namespace. Authorization is OAuth 2.1 authorization code with PKCE (S256), a single coarse
    `mcp` scope, public clients (token_endpoint_auth_method none) and client-ID metadata documents rather than RFC 7591 dynamic
    registration. An anonymous tools/list call returns 401 with a well-formed WWW-Authenticate Bearer challenge carrying the
    resource_metadata pointer, so the live tool list and per-tool inputSchema require an authorized session. No tool inventory
    is published anywhere public, so none is recorded here.
