MCP Client Configuration

Configure your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

Using remote npm package:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-paste": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["pokemon-paste-mcp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Local development:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pokemon-paste": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/pokemon-paste-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

Testing

Local MCP Tool Testing

You can test the local MCP server using the MCP Inspector:

npm run build
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node path/to/pokemon-paste-mcp/dist/index.js

If you want to test the MCP server directly with your MCP client, use this complete test input:

{
  "pokemon": [
    {
      "name": "Pikachu",
      "species": "Pikachu",
      "item": "Light Ball",
      "ability": "Static",
      "moves": ["Thunderbolt", "Quick Attack", "Iron Tail", "Agility"],
      "nature": "Jolly",
      "gender": "M",
      "evs": { "hp": 0, "atk": 252, "def": 0, "spa": 4, "spd": 0, "spe": 252 },
      "ivs": { "hp": 31, "atk": 31, "def": 31, "spa": 31, "spd": 31, "spe": 31 },
      "level": 50,
      "shiny": false
    },
    {
      "name": "Charizard",
      "species": "Charizard",
      "item": "Charcoal",
      "ability": "Blaze",
      "moves": ["Flamethrower", "Air Slash", "Solar Beam", "Roost"],
      "nature": "Modest",
      "gender": "M",
      "evs": { "hp": 4, "atk": 0, "def": 0, "spa": 252, "spd": 0, "spe": 252 },
      "ivs": { "hp": 31, "atk": 0, "def": 31, "spa": 31, "spd": 31, "spe": 31 },
      "level": 50,
      "teraType": "Fire"
    },
    {
      "name": "Alakazam",
      "species": "Alakazam",
      "item": "Life Orb",
      "ability": "Magic Guard",
      "moves": ["Psychic", "Focus Blast", "Shadow Ball", "Recover"],
      "nature": "Timid",
      "gender": "M",
      "evs": { "hp": 4, "atk": 0, "def": 0, "spa": 252, "spd": 0, "spe": 252 },
      "ivs": { "hp": 31, "atk": 0, "def": 31, "spa": 31, "spd": 31, "spe": 31 },
      "level": 50,
      "shiny": true,
      "pokeball": "Ultra Ball"
    }
  ],
  "title": "Sample Competitive Team",
  "author": "Pokemon Trainer",
  "notes": "A balanced team with Pikachu as the main attacker, Charizard for coverage, and Alakazam for special sweeping."
}

This test input includes:

• Three diverse Pokemon with different roles
• Various optional fields (shiny, teraType, pokeball)
• Sample EV/IV spreads for competitive play
• Team metadata (title, author, notes)

The expected output should be a Pokepaste URL that you can visit to see the formatted team.
