npm package: pokeapi-mcp-server

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to make tool calls for Pokémon-related data. It integrates with the PokeAPI to offer access to 47 different Pokémon-related endpoints.

Project Overview

🚀 Installation

Global Installation

Terminal

npm install -g pokeapi-mcp-server

⚙️ Configuration

After installation, add the server to your MCP client configuration:

For Claude Desktop

Add to Claude>claude_desktop_config.json

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "pokeapi-mcp-server@1.4.0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For Cursor IDE

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "pokeapi-mcp-server@1.4.0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Or if installed globally:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "pokeapi-mcp-server@1.4.0"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For Gemini CLI

Add to .gemini/settings.json:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "--yes",
        "pokeapi-mcp-server@1.4.0"
      ],
      "transport": "stdio",
      "trust": true,
      "env": {
        "MCP_HTTP_SERVER_URL": "https://pokemon-mcp-server-vs8m.onrender.com"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The env section ensures the MCP server connects to the correct HTTP server. The remote server at https://pokemon-mcp-server-vs8m.onrender.com is available by default. If you're running a local HTTP server on port 3000, change the URL to http://localhost:3000. Restart Cursor IDE or Gemini CLI after updating the configuration to load the MCP server.
