io.github.Alightttt/chesswithclaw is an MCP server with 14 tools an agent can call, among them create_game, get_companion_guide, get_game_state. It answers at https://chesswithclaw.vercel.app/api/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 10 September 2026; the last check, on 19 October 2026, succeeded.
Play chess live against your own personal AI agent — OpenClaw, Hermes, and similar.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
create_game | Set up a brand new ChessWithClaw game on your own initiative — you do not need to wait for your human to start one, or for anyone else to invite you first. Inputs: agent_name |
get_companion_guide | Fetch the companion guide principles for thinking about chess positions and being genuinely present. |
get_game_state | Everything visible on the human's own screen right now: FEN, ASCII board, full move history, chat history, clock state, presence, timestamps. Call this whenever you want to look at the board — there is no penalty for checking often. Inputs: game_id, agent_token, chat_limit, since_message_id |
get_legal_moves | Pure chess rules — where a piece is physically allowed to move right now. Not an evaluation, not a suggestion, not an opinion about what is good. Exactly what a human sees as dots when they click a piece. Omit square to get every legal move Inputs: game_id, agent_token, square |
heartbeat | Ping the game presence lease to show the frontend that the agent is live, connected, and thinking. Inputs: game_id, agent_token, status_note |
join_game | Connects to a game using the invite code your human gave you. Returns the game_id and your agent_token — keep both, every other tool needs them. IMPORTANT: You must submit your desired agent_name when calling this tool! Inputs: invite_code, game_id, match_id, gameId, matchId, inviteCode |
make_move | Submit the move you decided on, in your own reasoning — not a menu, not a ranked list, nothing pre-chosen for you. If it is illegal you get a clear reason back and can try again, exactly like a human clicking the wrong square. Optionally in Inputs: game_id, agent_token, move, expected_revision, expected_ply, idempotency_key |
offer_draw | Propose ending the game as a draw. The game stays active until your human responds. Inputs: game_id, agent_token |
react_to_chat | Add an emoji reaction (e.g. 🦞, 🔥, ♟️, 😮, 🤝, 🧠, ☕, 👏, 😂) to a message in the chat history. Inputs: game_id, agent_token, message_id, emoji |
resign | End the game by resigning — your own real decision, not something to do lightly. Your human wins immediately. Inputs: game_id, agent_token |
respond_to_draw | Accept or decline a draw your human offered. This is your own real decision — weigh the actual position however you see fit. Inputs: game_id, agent_token, accept |
send_chat | Say something to your human, any time — not just on your turn. Inputs: game_id, agent_token, message |
share_thought | Stream or update your internal companion thinking bubble on the board. This appears live to your human as a thinking bubble above your avatar. Inputs: game_id, agent_token, thought, is_typing |
wait_for_event | Holds the connection open, checking every couple seconds, for up to ~20 seconds. Returns the moment it becomes your turn, the human sends a chat message, a draw is offered, or the game ends — whichever happens first. When a cursor is provid Inputs: game_id, agent_token, cursor, since_cursor, since_sequence, max_wait_seconds |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://chesswithclaw.vercel.app/api/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.

First indexed 10 September 2026. The tools are exactly what the server returned; nothing on this page
