How do I authenticate with the BoardGameGeek API?
You must provide `BGG_API_KEY` (recommended, get from BGG's API application form) or `BGG_COOKIE` in the server environment. If both are provided, `BGG_API_KEY` takes precedence.

BGG MCP: BoardGameGeek MCP Server provides access to the BoardGameGeek API through the Model Context Protocol, enabling retrieval and filtering of board game data, user collections, and profiles.

常见问题
What is the `BGG_USERNAME` environment variable for?
Setting `BGG_USERNAME` enables the use of "me" and "my" references in queries (e.g., "show my collection") without needing to explicitly state your username. If unset, self-references will produce a clear error.
Where does price and recommendation data come from?
Price data is provided by BoardGamePrices.co.uk, offering real-time pricing from multiple retailers. Recommendations are powered by Recommend.Games, which provides algorithmic similarity recommendations based on BoardGameGeek data.
What are the experimental tools?
The server includes an experimental tool `bgg-rules` that answers rules questions by searching BGG forums for relevant discussions and clarifications. It is activated by including "use bgg-rules" in your prompt.
What dependencies or runtime are required?
For Docker, no local dependencies are needed. For manual setup, you must have Go installed to build the binary. The server communicates via stdio and requires an MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor).
