Speedrun Overview

Speedrun MCP server connects AI agents to the Speedrun.com API v1 for searching games, inspecting categories, retrieving ranked runs, and finding users. Agents can use the hosted Pipeworx gateway over streamable HTTP or run the package locally as a stdio MCP server. The gateway endpoint also exposes shared Pipeworx tools, while the standalone package provides only the Speedrun tools. Reach for it when an agent needs structured speedrunning records, category IDs, player profiles, or links to Speedrun.com pages.

Primary Use Cases for Speedrun:
  • Search for a game on Speedrun.com
  • List categories for a selected game
  • Compare top runs in a leaderboard
  • Find a speedrunner profile by username
