Chess MCP Overview

The pab1ito/chess-mcp MCP server exposes Chess.com's Published Data API through tools for player profiles, statistics, online status, games, archives, PGN downloads, and club data. It uses Chess.com's public API, so no authentication is required. Tool availability can be configured for the MCP client, and Docker or a local UV-based setup can run it with Claude Desktop. Reach for it when an agent needs public Chess.com information or game records rather than chess-engine analysis.

Primary Use Cases for Chess MCP:
  • Look up a Chess.com player's profile and statistics
  • Retrieve a player's monthly game records
  • Download monthly games as PGN files
  • Check a player's online status
