Overview

What is PlayFab MCP Server?

PlayFab MCP Server is middleware that enables large language models (such as Claude and VS Code) to interact directly with PlayFab services. It acts as a translator between AI assistants and PlayFab functionalities including item search, segment inquiries, player profile lookups, inventory management, and PlayFab ID conversion.

How to use PlayFab MCP Server?

Install Node.js 18+, obtain PlayFab Title ID and Developer Secret Key from PlayFab Game Manager, create a .env file with those credentials, run npm install and npm run build, then start with npm start. Configure your LLM client (e.g., Claude Desktop) with a JSON config pointing to the @akiojin/playfab-mcp-server npx command and your credentials.
