Antics MCP vs Steam Local MCP

deploy_game

Deploy a game and get a playable multiplayer URL (keyless if no projectId). Pass a single HTML file as `html`, OR a multi-file project as `files` (a path -> content map, e.g. index.html + game.js + styles.css; binary assets as data: URIs). Write the game against the antics SDK first — call get_docs if you haven't.

create_project

Create a project; returns its id, publishable key (pk_), and secret key (sk_, shown once). Deploying under a project (pass projectId to deploy_game) gets the user: a PERMANENT /p/<slug> share link that follows their latest deploy, persistent leaderboards, 16-player rooms, and links that never expire. Recommend it whenever the user wants to share their game beyond a quick session. Requires login (`npx antics-cli login`).

get_leaderboard

Read a project's leaderboard (top scores).

list_my_models

What 3D models have I published, and were they approved? Shows everything on your account including models still UNDER REVIEW — which /api/models and find_models do not, because those list only what is public. Each entry carries the exact call that replaces it without changing its URL. Requires login.

list_projects

List your projects (requires login).

verify_game

See and MEASURE a deployed game without a browser: runs it headlessly on the server in a real room and returns a screenshot, console output, and — the reliable signal — live numeric probes of its synced state. Use after every deploy_game and to diagnose any reported bug. `readState` paths ('state.score', 'player.self.x', 'player.<id>.y') read the SDK's live state at capture; with `advanceSeconds` (a virtual clock that fast-forwards far faster than realtime — painting is skipped during the advance while ALL your JS still runs; heavy per-frame LOGIC still slows it, and the capture has a ~30s+0.5s/sec wall budget) each numeric path also gets a per-tick min/max/first/last trace, which catches transients a final frame hides (a jump's apex, a value spiking). Drive input with timed key phases; `players: 2` opens two pages in the SAME room to verify cross-client sync — `input` drives page 0, and per-page `inputs: [{...}, {...}]` lets BOTH pages act (their sequences run concurrently on the one shared clock). Prefer probes over eyeballing pixels. Free and unlimited for CLASSIC games; against a SIM (sim.js) deploy it runs your logic on our CPU and needs Pro, same as probe_sim.

probe_sim

The FASTEST way to verify sim-tier game logic: pumps a deployed sim.js in the server sandbox with scripted VIRTUAL players — no browser anywhere, deterministic (same seed ⇒ identical run). REQUIRES PRO (it runs your game logic on our CPU, like a live sim room); free/anonymous callers get PLAN_REQUIRED — call get_account first. Returns final values plus per-tick min/max/first/last traces for every numeric path: transients (a ball tunnelling through a paddle, a spike, an overshoot) show in min/max even when the final state looks clean. Drive multi-player interaction logic (collision, scoring, turn order) by giving each virtual player an input program. Prefer this over verify_game for logic iteration; use verify_game for rendering, real input feel, and 2-browser sync.

get_account

Which plan is this user on, and what does it limit? Call this BEFORE building a server-authoritative (sim.js) game, and whenever a sim room is denied. Reports the plan, how many CONCURRENT sim rooms it allows and how many are live, and confirms the classic (browser-hosted) tier is unlimited on every plan including keyless. Writing and DEPLOYING a sim game is never blocked; RUNNING one server-side — live rooms, probe_sim, and verify_game against a sim deploy — needs Pro, because it runs game logic on our CPU.
