Empower your AI with Pokédex powers! Fetch and explore Pokémon data seamlessly via PokeAPI.

Server: io.github.Asthanaji05/pokeapi-mcp-server
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

The PokeAPI MCP Server acts as a bridge, allowing AI assistants to fetch and utilize comprehensive Pokémon data directly from the PokeAPI. This facilitates the development of intelligent applications that require accurate and up-to-date information about Pokémon, moves, items, game mechanics, and more.

The server provides 47 Pokémon-related tools, covering a wide range of data:

• Pokémon Data: getPokemonByName, getPokemonSpeciesByName, getPokemonFormByName, getPokemonColorByName, getPokemonHabitatByName, getPokemonShapeByName.
• Moves: getMoveByName, getMoveCategoryByName, getMoveDamageClassByName, getMoveAilmentByName, getMoveBattleStyleByName, getMoveLearnMethodByName, getMoveTargetByName.
• Items: getItemByName, getItemCategoryByName, getItemAttributeByName, getItemFlingEffectByName, getItemPocketByName.
• Game Mechanics: getTypeByName, getStatByName, getAbilityByName, getGrowthRateByName, getNatureByName, getEggGroupByName, getGenerationByName, getVersionByName, getVersionGroupByName, getPokedexByName, getLanguageByName.
• Encounters: getLocationByName, getLocationAreaByName, getEncounterMethodByName, getEncounterConditionByName, getEncounterConditionValueByName.
• Berries: getBerryByName, getBerryFirmnessByName, getBerryFlavorByName.
• Contests: getContestTypeByName, getContestEffectById, getSuperContestEffectById.
• Evolution: getEvolutionChainById, getEvolutionTriggerByName.
• Other: getCharacteristicById, getMachineById, getPalParkAreaByName, getPokeathlonStatByName, getRegionByName.

🚀 Installation

Global Installation

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "[email protected]"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For Cursor IDE

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "[email protected]"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Or if installed globally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "[email protected]"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For Gemini CLI

Add to .gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "--yes",
        "[email protected]"
      ],
      "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.
