@pokerai/mcp

MCP server for the Pokerai API — solver-grade GTO strategy for 6-max No-Limit Hold'em, exposed as tools your LLM agent (Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, …) can call.

Ask "what's GTO for AKs on the button facing a UTG open?" and the agent gets real presolved frequencies, not a guess.

Setup

You need a Pokerai API key — get one free at https://pokerai.bet/login.

The server runs over stdio via npx, so there's nothing to install globally.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokerai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pokerai/mcp"],
      "env": { "POKERAI_API_KEY": "gto_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add pokerai -e POKERAI_API_KEY=gto_your_key_here -- npx -y @pokerai/mcp

Cursor

~/.cursor/mcp.json (or Settings → MCP), same shape as the Claude Desktop block above.

Tools

Presolved lookups (spend your presolved quota — 1000/mo on the free tier):

| Tool | What it returns | |------|-----------------| | preflop_versions | selectable strategy chart sets (free) | | preflop_strategy | fold/call/raise frequencies for a hand vs an action line | | preflop_range | the whole 169-hand-type range for a position + line | | flop_tree | flop decision tree (nodes carry tokens) | | flop_node | strategy at one flop node (with or without a hero hand) |

Real-time solver (turn/river) — off by default because it spends the scarce solve quota (25/mo on the free tier). Enable with POKERAI_ENABLE_SOLVE=1:

| Tool | What it returns | |------|-----------------| | solve_schedule | trigger an on-demand solve (costs 1 solve quota) | | solve_tree | poll the solve + get its nodes | | solve_node | strategy at one solved node | | node_evs | per-hand, per-action EVs at a node |

Environment

| Var | Purpose | |-----|---------| | POKERAI_API_KEY | required — your key from https://pokerai.bet/login | | POKERAI_ENABLE_SOLVE | set to 1 to expose the real-time solver tools | | POKERAI_API_BASE | override the API base (default https://pokerai.bet) |

Notes

• The server authenticates with your key and spends your quota — it holds no shared credential and has no abuse surface of its own.
• stdout is the MCP protocol channel; the server logs only to stderr.
